Default missing ma pages.

I have what I thought was a complex installation of AIX 11, but I seem
to be missing several man pages. For example, there is no manual page
for sysconf. I do have the C compiler installed, so I would have
thought if not in the base operating system, it would be in the
compiler.

Any suggestions?

With the C cd in the drive, try doing installpd -Ld /dev/cd0 and see
if there are any filesets to do with man pages.

The documentation is on separate CDs (not the base install CDs).
The documentation is also nominally in html format. You can
access the pubs on the web, too, at
