man page
Unix man page
(Or "man page") A part of Unix's
extensive on-line documentation. To read a manual page from
the Unix command line, type:
man [-s]
e.g. "man ftp" (the section number can usually be omitted).
Pages are traditionally referred to using the notation
"page(section)", e.g. ftp(1).
Under SunOS (which is fairly typical), Section 1 covers
commands, 2 system calls, 3 C library routines, 4 devices
and networks, 5 file formats, 6 games and demos, 7
miscellaneous, 8 system administration. Each section has an
introduction which can be obtained with, e.g., "man 2 intro".
Manual pages are stored as nroff source files. Formatted
versions are also usually cached. Man pages for most versions
of Unix are available on-line in HTML.
Unix manual page: man(1).
Linux man pages (http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/).
Solaris man pages (http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/40.10).

man page
(jargon) | man page
n.
A page from the Unix Programmer's Manual, documenting one of Unix's many
commands, system calls, library subroutines, device driver interfaces, file
formats, games, macro packages, or maintenance utilities. By extension, the
term “man page” may be used to refer to documentation of any kind, under
any system, though it is most likely to be confined to short on-line
references.
As mentioned in Chapter 11, Other Lexicon Conventions, there is a standard
syntax for referring to man page entries: the phrase “foo(n)” refers to the
page for “foo” in chapter n of the manual, where chapter 1 is user
commands, chapter 2 is system calls, etc.
The man page format is beloved, or berated, for having the same sort of
pithy utility as the rest of Unix. Man pages tend to be written as very
compact, concise descriptions which are complete but not forgiving of the
lazy or careless reader. Their stylized format does a good job of
summarizing the essentials: invocation syntax, options, basic
functionality. While such a concise reference is perfect for the
do-one-thing-and-do-it-well tools which are favored by the Unix philosophy,
it admittedly breaks down when applied to a command which is itself a major
subsystem.
