I want to check the use of the pthread_mutex_lock function, so I execute the command man pthread_mutex_lock, the result appears No manual entry for pthread_mutex_lock. I checked the information on the Internet and said that there was a No manual entry for pthread_mutex_lock prompt, need to install manpages-posix-dev.

So I'm ready to install manpages-posix-dev（I execute the command: apt-get install manpages-posix-dev）, but E: Unable to locate package manpages-posix-dev prompts me again. Why?I'm using the debian 10 system.

gyz@debian:~$ man  pthread_mutex_lock
No manual entry for pthread_mutex_lock
gyz@debian:~$ sudo apt-get install manpages-posix-dev

  • Welcome to the site, and thank you for your contribution. To make your answer helpful to a wider range of audiences, would you mind editing your post to include an explanation on why this package is the right one (as opposed to `manpages-posix-dev`), and also use the appropriate formatting for your code example? – AdminBee Jul 10 '20 at 11:31
