It does say, though:
" file. However, if name contains a slash (/) then man
interprets it as a file specification, so that you can do
man ./foo.5 or even man /cd/foo/bar.1.gz."
And if I already waste bandwidth, while I never wrote a manpage
myself, I recall someone here suggested once to write pod and
convert to man. I also don't know pod (Perl'd doc format), but
you can presumably google for that.
