Hi everybody,
I have some questions about C++ / C manual pages.. In other distributions (OpenSuse, Kubuntu) there were some packages, that provide man pages for all functions from C++ or C.. So when I want for example the return value for strcmp I wrote just man strcmp and in right section I have found the answer. So there is my question: Do you know what package I've to install or do something different to get these man pages working??.. Because I think it's very useful thing for those who are programming in C++ / C.. Thanks for your answers..

I believe the man pages are a separate package. It will depend a little on the exact version of gcc you're running, though. If you use synaptic, you should find the man pages in the same area as gcc.

All I get when i man c++ is the manual for the gcc compiler, let me know if you find what your looking for please..

You can build them. The documentation isn't dependent on the version of GCC, its built directly from the C++ std lib.
