What package should I install to see man pages for C library?
Hi, everyone
What package should I install to read C library manual using man?
I installed glibc-doc and glibc-doc-reference-2.3.6-1.all.deb but I
cannot see man page for C libray such as "fprintf".
When I do "man fprintf", "No manual entry for fprintf" message is found.
Please let me know what package I should install.
Thanks in advance.

glibc-doc has a different manual; view it with `info libc'. IMHO the
glibc manual is more helpful for understanding concepts, while the man
pages are more useful for quick reference.
