A problem with the man command
Hello everyone,
I'm facing a problem with the man command, I typed man uname to open the manual but there is another section (2). So I wanted to open it and I typed man 2 uname but this error display no manual entry for uname in section 2 but in the main manual (section 1), at the bottom, you can see that there is a section 2 manual under the see else section. Can you please help?
Greeting
I don't have access to my linux VM right now. I found a link to the online manual page for uname(2).
https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/uname.2.html
I will try to see if I can get a linux box up today and investigate.

@Ronnie-Wong Thanks.
I just ran the man 2 uname on my Debian 5.5.13-2 machine. It works. I see the man page for uname(2).
What linux distro are you running and version. I will see if I can reproduce the issue.
