Guidelines for writing man pages can be found in \texttt{mdoc(7)}.

\texttt{man} is the system's manual pager.  Each page argument given to  man  is
normally  the  name of a program, utility or function.  The manual page
associated with each of these arguments is then found and displayed.  A
section,  if  provided, will direct man to look only in that section of
the manual.  The default action is to search in all  of  the  available
sections  following  a pre-defined order ("1 n l 8 3 2 3posix 3pm 3perl
3am 5 4 9 6 7" by default, unless overridden by the  SECTION  directive
in /etc/manpath.config), and to show only the first page found, even if
page exists in several sections.
