If you want to read the manual pages of the system calls by these names (as opposed to the command-line applications outlined in karel’s answer) please make sure that the manpages-dev package is installed:

sudo apt install manpages-dev

If you prefer the manual pages to be translated to your language you can list available translation packages with:

apt-cache search 'manpages-.*-dev'
