This guide includes many references to Oracle Solaris manual pages. The manual pages are online under Oracle Solaris 11.4 Information Library.
If you have installed the man page package on a running Oracle Solaris installation, you can use the man command. For example, the manual page for the iconv function from the Standard C Library Functions is referred to as iconv (3C) , and can be viewed by the following command:
$ man -s 3C iconv
