Instead of reading the manual or asking here directly for an answer,
the best thing you can do is ask here how to find the answer to
your question in the manual.
You'll then quickly learn to use C-h i, C-h f, M-x apropos
and friends and when those things don't work, you'll have good reason
to complain and we'll know how to improve the documentation.
