I can't find the manual for pthread_mutex_lock
with man pthread_mutex_lock
, is that something wrong with manpages-dev
? I got that package installed, but missing some manual.
Should I fire a bug to Ubuntu ?

Ubuntu (and Debian) include the desired man pages in the manpages-posix-dev
package.
Just install the glibc-doc package, the missing man pages will be there:
sudo apt install glibc-doc
Just for completeness, here a version we can enjoy in our web-browser:
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/wily/man3/pthread_mutex_lock.3.html
I know, links might get outdated, but if we feed our search-engine we will get a lot of alternative links which deliver the desired information.
Advantage: Better readability, comfortability with use in GUI. We don't need to install anything.
Disadvantage: Requires Internet connection (at least for the time we need to download the site).
Try
sudo apt-get install manpages-posix-dev
man pthread_mutex_lock(/unlock/destroy/...)
You can see the result ... thank you
For KDE Neon, I was able to find everything with:
sudo apt-get install manpages-posix manpages-posix-dev
sudo apt-get install glibc-doc
I needed the second to find things like man pthread_mutex_unlock
glibc-doc
includes the Linux-specific man pages for pthreads, whereas themanpages-posix-dev
package has the POSIX pthreads man pages – villapx Aug 06 '19 at 15:20
