I am wanting to view more information on the Groff Macro Packages through my Man Page viewer. However, when I try to see them, they do not work.
➜ man groff # [...works as expected...] ➜ man 7 groff No manual entry for groff in section 7 ➜ man 7 groff_man No manual entry for groff_man in section 7
Where do I find that macro package documentation or what packages do I need to install?

Answer
Seems that even though the groff application is present on the machine, all of the other supporting docs are not. For Fedora, I needed to install the following packages.
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.
