The following, however, are not:
man -t 2 open pipe | page
man -p 2 open pipe
The first create a single troff output with both the open(2) and
pipe(2) man pages, and pipes the resultant to page. The second is the
same as
man -t 2 open | page
man -t 2 pipe | page
I personally don't like this behavior, so I just pipe to page. In
fact, I have a custom rc function that does just a little more:
fn manp{
if (~ $1 (c++ String)) # C++ compilers and libString
man -t -S $* | page
if not
man -t $* | page
}
(The manindex will give me consolefs(4) for "c++" and "C++" and both
libString and string() in draw(2) for "String".)
