undocumented (8) [scandetd] - No manpage for this program, utility or function.
This was something debian used to encourage for programs lacking
manpages, but is now discouraged in favor of being able to
systematically search for such cases.
undocumented (3) - undocumented library functions
undocumented (2) - undocumented system calls
These are included in the Debian package with lists of undocumented
things.
undocumented (7) - No manpage for this program, utility or function.
And this is a "please write documentation" page.
