... as describe in "man man" :-)

On my system, the corresponding file (/usr/share/man/man2/chmod.2.gz) is
provided by the 'man-pages' package.  Do you have it installed?

The man 2 chmod command doesn't seem to work on my system:
[fred@athbox-f18 ~]$ uname -r
3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64
[fred@athbox-f18 ~]$ man 2 chmod
No manual entry for chmod in section 2

but, this info at the end of the regular 'man chmod' man page does:

SEE ALSO
       chmod(2)

       The full documentation for chmod is maintained as a Texinfo
       manual.  If the  info  and  chmod programs are properly
       installed at your site, the command

              info coreutils 'chmod invocation'

       should give you access to the complete manual.
