"No manual entry for pthread" - could not find man page by name
First install these manpages:
sudo apt-get install manpages-posix manpages-posix-dev
and then:
man pthreads
Now it should work.
Ok, so the man page you look for is not there:
$ man pthread
No manual entry for pthread

for that:
$ man -k pthread
pthread_attr_destroy (3) - initialize and destroy thread attributes object
pthread_attr_getaffinity_np (3) - set/get CPU affinity attribute in thread attributes object
pthread_attr_getdetachstate (3) - set/get detach state attribute in thread attributes object
pthread_attr_getguardsize (3) - set/get guard size attribute in thread attributes object
[... 47 more lines ...]
pthread_timedjoin_np (3) - try to join with a terminated thread
pthread_tryjoin_np (3) - try to join with a terminated thread
pthread_yield (3) - yield the processor
pthreads (7) - POSIX threads
vfs_aio_pthread (8) - implement async I/O in Samba vfs using a pthread pool
Ok... some related stuff... Oh! pthreads
looks interesting!
$ man pthreads|head -n 12
