How to install section 3 manpages for CentOS

Question

I'm trying to read the manpage for read(3) on my CentOS system:

$ man read 3
No manual entry for 3

What/Which package do I have to install to get these manpages?

(glibc* packages are installed on my system)

what gives you the impression that there is a read(3) man page? see read(2).

For the man command, the section should be first then the name. Also, the man page for read() on my CentOS 5 system is in section 3p, not 3.

Try:

man 3p read
