Is there a better man page site to use instead? I abhor reading in the terminal.

  The only other one I'm aware of is Ubuntu manuals: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/en/ https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/en/

  man7.org is "official" (linked from kernel.org) This page there: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/hsearch.3.html https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/hsearch.3.html

  What's the difference between reading letters and digits on a webpage, and reading them in a terminal?

      Obviously it is none of my business how people read their manpages, but on the off chance this may be useful to you: export LESS='--mouse --wheel-lines=3'
