I know the man pages for C++ are installed with libstdc++6-<version>-doc, but when I'm looking for a function like stoull there is no man page. Even apropos does not find anything.

Man pages are available online: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/stoull/ or http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/stoul but I would like to have them offline.

Is there a way to install the man pages under GNU/Linux?

  • Newest `libstdc++` should do the trick for C++11. For example, you can do `man std::shared_ptr` which is avalaible since C++11. However, the function `stoull` is not included for some unknown reasons - you can verify here: http://manpages.ubuntu.com – Leśny Rumcajs Dec 29 '15 at 08:33

Okay, I found this: https://github.com/aitjcize/cppman

Since cppman is no longer supported under Ubuntu/apt it has to be installed via 

pip3 install cppman

and if you want to have the man pages offline you may cache them by 

cppman -c

make sure to have your preferred source selected. cplusplus.com should be default.
