C++ man pages in Ubuntu

Question

In Ubuntu linux I can't get any man pages for C++ keywords. Is there some kind of package I can install to fix this?

Answer 1

sudo apt-get install manpages-dev glibc-doc

Look here too for STL.

Answer 2

check out this project: https://github.com/Aitjcize/cppman Which generates manpages from cplusplus.com

Answer 3

The libstdc++6-4.4-doc will install the man pages for STL too, not only the HTML doc. The manpages-posix-dev package is also really good to have.

Answer 4

You must install manpages-dev package :

$ sudo apt-get install manpages-dev

Answer 5

You could also consider installing libstdc++6-4.4-doc, which installs the full C++ library documentation in HTML format, generated from the doxygen comments (you can find it in /usr/share/doc/libstdc++6-4.4-doc/libstdc++/html/index.html, and I think that scrollkeeper indexes it). Remember to install the updated package when the installed g++ version changes.
