They'd have written it all in info!!!! But here .... $ man -s5 -k proc | grep ^proc proc (5) - process information pseudo-filesystem procfs (5) - process information pseudo-filesystem procmailex (5) - procmail rcfile examples procmailrc (5) - procmail rcfile procmailsc (5) - procmail weighted scoring technique $ is all I get on a reasonably upto date Devuan (debian based) system. But the "man -s 5 proc" page is huge 4520 lines! "Linux man-pages 6.03 2023-02-10 proc(5)" Mind you there are a lot of proc filesystem entries to document. Not sure what the OP is implying - not documenting them?
