FWIW, "man man" does tell one the purpose of each of the sections.
1 Executable programs or shell commands
2 System calls (functions provided by the kernel)
3 Library calls (functions within program libraries)
4 Special files (usually found in /dev)
5 File formats and conventions eg /etc/passwd
6 Games
7 Miscellaneous (including macro packages and
conventions), e.g.
man(7), groff(7)
8 System administration commands (usually only for root)
9 Kernel routines [Non standard]
see again I get confused...
man 7 groff
No manual entry for groff in section 7
As someone else noted, it's most likely that either you don't have all the man pages
installed, or you don't have all the programs installed. For me, for instance, "man
7 groff" brings up a man page for me in both CentOS 6.6 and Fedora 21.
