Why are all pkg* commands in man section 1?

Hi,

This is from my NetBSD 8.1:

$ ls -al /usr/sbin/pkg*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  120904 May 31  2019 /usr/sbin/pkg_add
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  115592 May 31  2019 /usr/sbin/pkg_admin
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   72440 May 31  2019 /usr/sbin/pkg_create
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   70160 May 31  2019 /usr/sbin/pkg_delete
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  106576 May 31  2019 /usr/sbin/pkg_info

And this on my Linux host with pkgsrc:

$ ls -al /usr/pkg/sbin/pkg*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 684992 Dec  9 17:45 /usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_add
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 661696 Dec  9 17:45 /usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_admin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  20903 Nov  3 19:56 /usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_alternatives
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  26255 Nov  3 19:57 /usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_chk
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 466504 Dec  9 17:45 /usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_create
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 209720 Dec  9 17:45 /usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_delete
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 638656 Dec  9 17:45 /usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_info
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  19363 Nov  3 19:57 /usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_rolling-replace

All these binaries are owned by root and group wheel (NetBSD) or root
(Linux). None of them are setuid.

I wonder why they are all in section 1 of the manual pages and not in
section 8, where one would expect them to be.

Thanks
