I want a manual for C programming language to install it on Ubuntu 11.10 , I want to execute man function and be able to view the documentation as I do on system calls and functions.
Which package should I install ?

To use the C Programming Language on Ubuntu 22.04, first, update the system repositories and run the “$ sudo apt install build-essential” command. The “build-essential” package will install all of the required libraries and compilers related to the C Programming language.
A man page (short for manual page) is a form of software documentation usually found on a Unix or Unix-like operating system. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
Using man is as simple as opening your Terminal emulator, or logging into your server via SSH. Once there, you can simply type man followed by the program you want to learn about. And the entire Git documentation will display in your screen using the less pager program.
To install man pages use the yum command or dnf command as follows on a CentOS 6/7/8/9.
sudo apt-get install manpages-dev manpages-posix-dev glibc-doc
