So "whose names start with" as there are multiple manpages?

Ah right added.

Because I stupidly copy-pasted lines and did not properly adjust and
rechecked.

Quite imbarassing doing so many errors in one go. Attached is the
revisited version.

Changes in v2:
- Reword as suggested "whose names start with"
- Add missing space in hilighted proc_ 
- Drop superflous .TP (from a copy paste error)

Salvatore

Subject: [PATCH] proc.5: Refer to split out manpages for detailed description

Back in August 2023 various parts of proc(5) were split out int separate
manpages. The final cleanup in 92cdcec79df0 ("proc.5: Clean up after
making sashimi of this page") missed to as well refer to the split out
manpages and retained the wording that details are found further below
in the manpages for the various files.

Fixes: 92cdcec79df0 ("proc.5: Clean up after making sashimi of this page")
