[help-texinfo] referencing manual pages in Texinfo documents |

Ciao,
on my x86_64-slackware-linux-gnu, in some documentation I reference
manual pages using:
@macro manpage{NODE, TITLE}
@xref{\NODE\,\TITLE\,\TITLE\,*manpages*}
@end macro
ugly or not, it works for me with output in Info format. It is my
understanding that "*manpages*" is undocumented in the Texinfo manual.
I wonder what is the status of this hidden feature and if it there is
a way to specify the manual pages section in the reference; for example,
I want:
@manpage{mkfifo, Make a FIFO special file}
to reference "mkfifo(2)" rather than "mkfifo(1)".
TIA
