The FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) is a standard directory structure for Unix and Unix-like operating systems. It defines the locations of directories and files on the system, as well as their purposes.
According to the FHS, manual pages (or "man pages" for short) are typically located in the /usr/share/man directory. This directory contains subdirectories for different types of documentation, such as:
Within each of these directories, the actual manual pages are stored in compressed files with names like <command>.<section>.gz, where <command> is the name of the command or function being documented, and <section> is the section number (1-8) that corresponds to the type of documentation.
For example, the manual page for the ls command would be stored in the file /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz, while the manual page for the fopen() function would be stored in /usr/share/man/man3/fopen.3.gz.
Note that while the /usr/share/man directory is the default location for manual pages, some Linux distributions may place them in other locations (such as /usr/local/share/man or /opt/man) for various reasons. However, these alternate locations are not compliant with the FHS.
