Install the "manpages-dev" package. Then you can do what you want on the
terminal (for the standard functions in C), e.g. if you type "man get" in
the terminal and hit <TAB> twice, you will get a list of possible man pages:
u...@machine:~/Stuff$ man get
getafm getbkgd getconf getent
getmaxx getnonfreefonts getopt
getstr getty getyx
getbegx getbkgrnd getcurx getfacl
getmaxy getnonfreefonts-sys getparx
getsyx get_wch
getbegy getcchar getcury
getfdprm getmaxyx getnstr getpary
gettext getwin
getbegyx getch geteltorito getkeycodes
Then, you can, for example, complete your request to "man getstr", hit enter
and you'll see the documentation for the "getstr" function.
