Public bug reported:
$ man vis | sed -ne '/SEE/,/^$/p'
SEE ALSO
unvis(1), vis(1), snprintf(3), strlcpy(3), unvis(3)
The libbsd-dev package includes the man pages for the library functions,
and those pages refer to command-line utilities that are not included in
the package. AFAICT, these utilities are not available in any Ubuntu
package.
It would be preferable to include the utilities, because it makes
working with the library easier.
If the utilities are not to be included for some reason, the man pages
should exclude them from SEE ALSO, which is a blind alley. It would be
a kindness to the user to mention them (perhaps in a NOTES section) with
a pointer to a known source such as the NetBSD archive.
