I imagine that a number of enhanced freeware implementations of standard
Unix utilities are without standard manpages. A good resource would
probably be the last public Berkeley Standard Distribution manpages.
Because these are distributed under the Berkeley license (allowing free
reproduction and distribution for non-commercial use only, but requiring
licensing for commercial distribution) they are omitted from commercial
packages and also from standard FSF-oriented sites, who prefer to only
allow Copyleft distribution under the GNU Public License. But the BSD
manpages can be found on various archive sites. I don't have a specific
site at hand, but if nobody else does I'll dig one up...
