Good question from you.
for executables I used
$ find . -executable -print
This is not a query I would expect to return accurate results because
it will include files I would not consider candidates for man pages,
including:
* basic shared libraries
ex: /usr/lib64/libsqlite3.so.0.8.6
* support scripts and libraries for interpreted languages
ex: /usr/lib64/python3.11/smtpd.py
* modules or subprograms for larger application suites
ex: /usr/lib64/ImageMagick-6.9.12/modules-Q16/coders/jpeg.so
* example scripts
ex: /usr/share/git-core/templates/hooks/pre-push.sample
* files given +x bits probably by mistake
ex (CentOS 8): /usr/share/licenses/gd/COPYING
Even the most conscientious developer wouldn't write man pages for
files in those categories.
