Linux provides several entries related to man pages, FreeBSD does provide several entries, too, https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=man&apropos=1&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+13.0-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=default&format=html : man(1) display online manual documentation pages man(7) legacy formatting language for manual pages man.conf(5) man(1) and manpath(1) configuration files manctl(8) manipulating manual pages mandoc(1) format manual pages mandoc_char(7) mandoc special characters manpath(1) display search path for manual pages The OP is missing a description of a man page's structure as given by the Linux "man man-pages". However, the manual sections are provided by FreeBSD's "man man", too.
