DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #67 from Colin Watson <cjwatson@flatline.org.uk>
:
Did you know MANPAGES ARE IN SEVERAL SECTIONS?  For example,
user commands are in section 2 of the manual, and system
administration items are in section 8; to request a particular
section via "man" include it before the item:
	man 7 regex
(otherwise you'll probably see regex from section 3 instead.)
To see ALL pages with a particular name, try
	man -a regex
every matching manpage (from whichever section) will be
presented, one-by-one.
