Bug Description

Ubuntu 18.04.5
iproute2 4.15.0-2ubuntu1.2
iproute2-doc 4.15.0-2ubuntu1.2

Most of the subcommands for /sbin/ip are documented in a manpage with a name of the form "ip-$SUBCOMMAND(8)", for example "ip address" is documented at "ip-address(8)".

However, ip tuntap seems to be completely undocumented, other than the one-line description given in ip(8): "tuntap - manage TUN/TAP devices." No manpage is pulled in with the iproute2 package, as with the other ip manpages, nor with the iproute2-doc package. This also seems to be the case with "ip mrule".

Expected behavior: Some package can be installed that contains a manpage covering "ip tuntap".

Actual behavior: No manpage for "ip tuntap" exists in either the package that contains the /sbin/ip binary, nor the corresponding -doc package.
