What is the difference between man 2 fork and man fork

I tried both commands in terminal and could not find a difference in the content that was displayed. If using the '2' in the command (e.g man 2 fork') does it display the contents of the man page related to section 2 ? I'm a little confused with respect to using a numeric in the man command. Any help would be appreciated.latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=Y-c4Qr8NUyU:VxmTni7Zo3c:F7zBnMy latest?i=Y-c4Qr8NUyU:VxmTni7Zo3c:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=Y-c4Qr8NUyU:VxmTni7Zo3c:gIN9vFwY-c4Qr8NUyU
