using man pages for programming



reading the signal(7) man page I noticed
the header "Linux Programmer's Manual" -
yet, how to I find the contents or index
of this manual 'section'?

Debian provides some information in several
readme's and manuals in
 /usr/share/doc/man
 /usr/share/doc/man-db
but unfortunatly I'm not able to extract
the desired infomation. There is some
classification achieved using the man1..man8
dirs but I would not consider only one of them
as a programmers source.

Have I come across something that was
launched but never come to the end?
How do people on this list help themselves
in this case?

Robert
