Hmm. It is a pity in my opinion. Man pages of this kind are very useful.
Imagine for example (not lapack example), that you forgot if the log
function in C math library uses the number 10 as the base for the
logarithm or the number e (Euler number). You type "man log" and you
__immediately__  get the brief essence:

"log, logf, logl - natural logarithmic function"

No ballast, just the essence you needed, without any need of network
connection; no time wasted by browsing, searching.

Lapack contains many functions and man pages to these functions are very
useful because one can quickly see what are input and output parameters
of a given function.
