where I can to find mapping between man section number and it's description in standalone mashine.
In other words, where I can to find description of some man section when I have not connection to Internet?
For example:

1    -> User commands
2, 3 -> Linux programmer's manual
and so on...

Thank you for ahead.

On Linux, there's a one-line description of each section number in man 1 man.

On most Unices (including Linux), man N intro describes what sort of things are in section N.
