How can one know if a command appearing in the man pages is excluded from the 
base install of an architecture without extracting base tarball to discover 
this fact?

As an example, take pdisk in 5.5 RELEASE  At 
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi, a search for pdisk in All 
Architectures, macppc and i386 will return the man page for pdisk.

pdisk does appear in CVS of course: 
http://openbsd.cs.toronto.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sbin/pdisk/?only_with_tag=OPENBSD_5_5_BASE#dirlist

But pdisk appears in macppc and not in i386 in base.tgz for 5.5.

My expectation of the manual is that it is would not contain man pages for 
items not included in an arch.  Is this an unreasonable expectation?

Thanks,

Justin
