When I see a man page sometimes such as:

--------
NAME
       setuid - set user identity

SYNOPSIS
       #include <unistd.h>

       int setuid(uid_t uid)
--------

This looks like a defn of C-function (as it probably is), but how do I 
use it? Where can I get detailed info about how to use man-pages and what 
are all the man topics available etc. What is the difference between info 
and man? Is there someplace that I can find out about howto find 
documentation in general? Or have I come to the right place?! 

Thanks,
