You have to do a "man mdoc.samples", which explains writing a man
page. In it is the following
Under FreeBSD, the following section numbers and their
descrip-
tions are described below:
1 FreeBSD General Commands Manual
2 FreeBSD System Calls Manaul
3 FreeBSD Library Calls Manual
4 FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual
5 FreeBSD File Formats Manual
6 FreeBSD Games Manual
7 FreeBSD Miscellaneous Information Manual
8 FreeBSD System Manager's Manual
9 FreeBSD Kernel Developers Guide
I haven't seen the '~' or at least noticed it.
