How to add entry in Linux man page database
The directory where the manpage is installed should be listed either in /etc/manpath.config or in the MANPATH environment variable. E.g., if the manpage is
/opt/mongoose/share/man/man1/mongoose.1
then you can set it using
MANPATH=/opt/mongoose/share/man man mongoose
(or change the MANPATH in your .bashrc or similar shell startup file).

sudo dnf install groff groff-base groff-doc groff-perl groff-x11
After doing that, I was able to execute
man 7 groff_man
and get the information I needed.
