This article is from the Apple II GNO FAQ, by Devin Reade with numerous contributions by others.

3.3: What are all the numbers in parenthesis following program names?

    A#3.3:	When you see something like "ls(1)" in the documentation, it
refers to something called "ls" which is documented in Chapter 1
of the manual pages.  Similarly, "select(2)" is refering to 
something called "select" which is documented in Chapter 2.  To
find out what the various chapters are for, type in the command
	man 4 intro
substituting "4" for whichever chapter you wish to learn about.
