9 That is bizarre. I have the program installed, and it does provide its
10 own man page:
11 [07:38 PM]wwong man1 $ equery belongs at.1.gz
12 [ Searching for file(s) at.1.gz in *... ]
13 sys-process/at-3.1.8-r11 (/usr/share/man/man1/at.1.gz)
14 But, on the other hand
15 [07:40 PM]wwong man $ equery belongs man1p/at.1p.gz
16 [ Searching for file(s) man1p/at.1p.gz in *... ]
17 sys-apps/man-pages-2.28 (/usr/share/man/man1p/at.1p.gz)
18
19 'man 1 at' and 'man 1p at' does also provide rather different
20 contents. The manpage suggest that the latter (belonging to the
21 man-pages package) is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
