I've never come to grips with multiple docs for man, depending on such things as section numbers. And I see no difference in output between "man 8 mount" or "man mount" Granted I haven't gone the whole way through, but I've already gone deep into them, and not seen anything.
But you do see a difference between
man 8 mount and man 2 mount
Yes?
I see the difference, but as usual with most man pages, you almost have to know the syntacs you are looking for.. I always look for examples , and never find the one that applies to my situation. And I've looked at man pages for 30 years..
You're aware of "man -k"?

Nope. The authors of vi explicitly disclaimed that vi means six.
