No manual entry for socket in section 2

[Ariod]

Hello,

I'm having a course on network programming, and the instructions say to reference socket(2) for additional information on the socket() function arguments. However, upon calling

man 2 socket

I'm getting the error

No manual entry for socket in section 2

How to acquire this manual entry, do I need to download some extra packages? Thanks.

I'm not certain, but I believe that the package "manpages-dev" contains the section 2 man pages.

You were right, thanks!
