Manpages, where are you? FreeBSD and C library Pages.

[decuser]

I'm trying to leverage what I've learned in linux about doing C development and it's pretty much the same, but when I try to access documentation (manpages), things go a little wonky.

First, man limits.h doesn't give me any results. Whereas on Linux, if the posix manpages are installed, you get a manpage.

Second, with regards to the standard streams:

In Linux:

man 3 stdin

stdin(3)                              Library Functions Manual                             stdin(3)

NAME
stdin, stdout, stderr - standard I/O streams

LIBRARY
Standard C library (libc, -lc)

but on FreeBSD:

man 3 stdin
No manual entry for stdin

and

FD(4)                  FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual                  FD(4)

NAME
     fd, stdin, stdout, stderr – file descriptor files

DESCRIPTION
     The files /dev/fd/0 through /dev/fd/# refer to file descriptors which can
     be accessed through the file system.

Which isn't about the streams. Where can I find these kinds of manpages? I'm longtime freebsd user, but newly interested in c programming on freebsd.

The first bit is good, the second just tells why the posix pages aren't necessary on freebsd cuz we're so compliant . But, limits.h doesn't get a manpage or mention in the existing manpages? That's fine but I'm just curious. I figured out what I needed from the include files themselves - or rather from the indirect referenced include files under /usr/include/x86...
