It's part of sem_init(3) in glibc-doc. man should manage to find it anyway if its database is up-to-date. However, there's a bug here: glibc-doc should include symlinks for sem_wait, sem_trywait, sem_post, sem_getvalue, sem_destroy rather than expecting man to sort it out based on the header of the man page.
