I thought it was dead easy.  Why, what sort of hoops do you prefer to
jump through to find a man page? ;-)  Second Google result:

http://linux.die.net/man/5/proc

Well of course it's going to be different on FreeBSD -- different kernel
-- but the location of the CPU time in /proc is going to be the same as
any other system running the Linux kernel (well at least any that's not
completely ancient anyway).  So the simplest option, as I was suggesting
is just to consult the proc manpage on any random Linux PC and if you
don't have a Linux box handy then Google it, as people have put most of
the man pages online.

First result:

;-)

Seriously though, if you must have the absolute exact same version for
some reason and don't have a Linux box, just grab the source tarball:

wget http://downloads.openmoko.org/sources/dropbear-0.51.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf dropbear-0.51.tar.bz2
cd dropbear-0.51
man ./dropbear.8

Usually manpages aren't installed on embedded systems in the interests
of saving space.
