man syscalls is missing in arch linux

I just can’t find it. I’ve installed linux-docs with sudo pacman -S linux-docs but still man syscalls does not work.

The syscalls man page is provided by the Arch Linux package man-pages. Install it with pacman -S man-pages.

syscalls manpage is available in man-pages
package
:

pacman -Sy man-pages

Now it’s installed:

$ man -w syscalls
/usr/share/man/man2/syscalls.2.gz

Notice that if you use official archlinux docker image you need to comment

# NoExtract  = usr/share/man/* usr/share/info/*

in /etc/pacman.conf before installing it (I’m not sure but I think
that regular Arch Linux comes with man pages already installed)
