Some Linux-based operating systems have a "builtins(1)" man page, with
a bunch of symlinks to it for each of bash's builtins.  You're probably
using one of those systems.  Other Linux-based systems do NOT have this
man page.

wooledg:~$ man declare
No manual entry for declare
wooledg:~$ man 1 declare
No manual entry for declare in section 1
