Here’s what I did:
unionfs $(printf "%s:" /gnu/store/*/share/info) ~/tmp/info
This gives me a union of all the beautiful info manuals in the store.
To read the GNU libc’s info manual I do this in Emacs:
C-u C-h i ~/tmp/info/libc.info.gz RET
It opens up the manual and I can search for snprintf in the index with
“i snprintf RET”.
Not sure about the man pages, though.
