I've seen a reference that tells me to look at "intro(4)" in the man
pages. However I can't find a way to get there, I can only reach
intro(1). In general, how can I access a numeric segment within a man topic?

Thanks for any help.

There is an `intro' manual page for each section (1 through 8).

$ man 4 intro

will give you the intro(4) manual page.

: $ man 4 intro

Some varients of man have problems with that though that's
how it's supposed to be done. One can also do:

man intro.4
