This page is part of the ncurses project, not of the Linux man-pages project.
The Linux man-pages project is concerned mostly just about glibc and the
Linux kernel (so man2 and man3), with little pages apart from those.

To report this bug, please follow the COLOPHON section at the bottom of that
page:

COLOPHON

       This page is part of the ncurses (new curses) project.
       Information about the project can be found at 
       ⟨https://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/ncurses.html⟩.  If you have
       a bug report for this manual page, send it to
       bug-ncurses-request@gnu.org.  This page was obtained from the
       project's upstream Git mirror of the CVS repository
       ⟨https://github.com/mirror/ncurses.git⟩ on 2022-12-17.  (At that
       time, the date of the most recent commit that was found in the
       repository was 2022-12-11.)  If you discover any rendering
       problems in this HTML version of the page, or you believe there
       is a better or more up-to-date source for the page, or you have
       corrections or improvements to the information in this COLOPHON
       (which is not part of the original manual page), send a mail to
       man-pages@man7.org


Thanks,
Alex
