Description Marcus Müller 2025-10-31 12:27:40 UTC 
cachestat(2) got introduced in Linux 6.5 [1]; other distros are shipping that man page.

bcc-cachestat is something different.

[1] https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.5-MM-cachestat
[2] https://manpages.opensuse.org/Tumbleweed/man-pages/cachestat.2.en.html

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man cachestat
2. man 2 cachestat
3. man -k cachestat
Actual Results:
1. opens manual page for bcc-cachestat(8)
2. "No manual entry for cachestat in section 2"
3. "bcc-cachestat (8)    - Statistics for linux page cache hit/miss ratios. Uses Linux eBPF/bcc."

Expected Results:
1.-2. opens cachestat(2)
3. shows both bcc-cachestat(8) and cachestat(2)

We haven't updated man-pages, but are tracking this in bug 2341632.

I'm marking this as closed duplicate.
