Look at the existing manpages for examples, i.e.:
/usr/src/bin/ls/ls.1
Then, you may get a good start for writing the groff source of a
manpage by copying and modifying one of the files:
$ ls -l /usr/share/examples/mdoc/*.?
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel - 3620 Jan 12 20:16
/usr/share/examples/mdoc/example.1
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel - 7658 Jan 12 20:16
/usr/share/examples/mdoc/example.3
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel - 3079 Jan 12 20:16
/usr/share/examples/mdoc/example.4
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel - 7757 Jan 12 20:16
/usr/share/examples/mdoc/example.9
The complete reference of all groff mdoc macros that you can use when
writing the document of the manpage is described in groff_mdoc(7):
$ man groff_mdoc
