If it is populated, check your MANPATH enviromental variable setting.
If not, check output of pkginfo to see if SUNWman is listed.
If SUNWman is not listed, you need to install it using pkgadd to get the manpages.
just begin to pickup Solaris, need your help to elaborate:
what do you mean by populated?
# env |grep MANPATH
MANPATH=/usr/dt/man:/usr/man:/usr/openwin/share/man
From the pkginfo SUNWman is not listed.
# pkginfo|grep SUNWman
how to pkgadd manpages?
Thanks

I realise that with GNU 'info' a lot of developers become, dare I say it, quite lazy when it comes to providing a well written man page - and some argue they're not needed at all. But I find, in the products that I develop, that man pages are used more often for quick reference, and therefore the... (1 Reply)

tcl(1) General Commands Manual tcl(1)
NAME
tcl, tk, tcl-tk - Tool Command Language
DESCRIPTION
The tcl software is unsupported software that is provided as part of Tru64 UNIX. Compaq will fix problems in this unsupported software
only if they are specific to Tru64 UNIX. Compaq will not fix problems that are integral to the software itself or that occur when the com-
ponent is used on UNIX systems other than Tru64 UNIX. Compaq will not add functionality to this software.
Except for this reference page, other reference pages that Tru64 UNIX supplies for tcl are passed through without changes. The reference
pages distributed as part of this software are available in the directories /usr/share/doclib/annex/man/man[1-9]. You should use this
directory stem in the man command or add it to the MANPATH environment variable to make these files available to the man command.
Note
Compaq is not responsible for the content or quality of reference pages and other documents installed under the /usr/share/doclib/annex
directory and does not revise this material in response to customer problem reports. Reference pages installed under the
/usr/share/doclib/annex/man directory are not available from Compaq in book form; for example, they are not included in the reference manu-
als that you receive when you order the Tru64 UNIX documentation set as hard copy books.
Problems related to the content or quality of any documentation installed in the /usr/share/doclib/annex directory tree should be sent to
the developers of the documentation.
The format for changing the search path with the man command is: man -P /usr/share/doclib/annex/man [section] title...
If you are using the Bourne, Korn, or POSIX shells, use the following command sequence to modify your environment: MANPATH=$MAN-
PATH:/usr/share/doclib/annex/man export MANPATH
If you are using the C shell, enter the command: setenv MANPATH `echo $MANPATH`:/usr/share/doclib/annex/man
See the reference pages for the man(1) command for additional information on the search path used to locate files.
The reference pages associated with this product are not included in the whatis data base created by the catman command. Therefore, the
man -k and apropos commands will not locate reference pages included with this product.
