手册页版本与Linux内核和libc版本有何关系？

Question

I am working with Ubuntu 13.04 running a Linux kernel version 3.8.0-32-generic. The man-pages version is:

[manu@laptop] man-pages: man --version
man 2.6.3

I am wondering what is the link between this man-pages version and my kernel version. While programming in C, I am using a system call which man page (in section 2) has been added in man-pages 3.47. Is there any way for me to install in a clean way this man version. By clean I mean being sure that I don't update some man pages with thing that are not supported by my Linux kernel or my Linux libc.

Answer 1

2.6.3 is the version of the man command, not of the installed man pages. It's not relevant to anything other than the man command itself. The man pages are managed separately from the man command, typically in a package whose name includes -doc .

Normally your package management system should keep the documentation in sync with your installed software. dpkg -l should tell you what version of each package you have.
