Documentation

Show functions that match PATTERN.

PATTERN can be a word, a list of words (separated by spaces), or a regexp (using some regexp special characters). If it is a word, search for matches for that word as a substring. If it is a list of words, search for matches for any two (or more) of those words.

This is the same as running apropos-command with a C-u (universal-argument) prefix, or a non-nil apropos-do-all argument.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 28.1.
