Sorry to disappoint you, but the system you describe is only found in
some Linux versions (and maybe some DEC-UX).
Here a ls of /usr/man in Solaris v2.6:
cat1 cat3b cat3r cat7 man.cf man3 man3r man5 man8
cat1b cat3c cat3s cat8 man1 man3b man3s man6 man9
cat1c cat3e cat3t cat9 man1b man3c man3t man7 man9e
cat1f cat3g cat3x cat9e man1c man3e man3x man7d man9f
cat1m cat3i cat4 cat9f man1f man3g man3xc man7fs man9s
cat1s cat3k cat4b cat9s man1m man3k man3xn man7i manl
cat2 cat3m cat5 catl man1s man3m man4 man7m mann
cat3 cat3n cat6 catn man2 man3n man4b man7p windex
The different directories are used to support searching for multiple
entries. E.g. there is a printf entry in 3s and 3b
A similar structure is found on HP-UX (uses compressed manpages in newer
versions).
I don't know if/how/where this system is actually specified but it
is obviously used.
Anyway. I don't mind having a .3p file in the man3 directory but there
are all kind of weird combinations in DJGPP distributions e.g.:
A groff-transformed man file containing a 5 designator having a .man
extension and being stored in man/man1.
So far I always do a manual clean-up (by looking into every single
man file) after installing new DJGPP packages.
Regards,
Tony
