If I do 'man cin' under my cygwin installation or ubunti linux nothing is found.
Do I have to install something specific to be able to use C++ manual pages?

It is probably under the relevant iostream functionality, but I have never used that sort of thing.
C++ Reference [C++ Reference] is what I use.

Out of curiosity I did an apropos for C++ (qv "man apropos") and there are only two entries, one of which is for the compiler. Googling would almost make it seem that there are no C++ man pages, but in fact there are some packages here:
ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/libstdc++/doxygen/
However, GNU* have html documentation for the glibc library which is more in depth than their C manual pages, so I would look for the C++ equivalent of that.
*GNU built both the C and C++ libraries used on all linux systems
Glibc isn't only libc for linux and every linux system doesn't use it.
I would think embedded systems running Linux with (diet|uC)libc|newlib would be more than 0,5% of all linux systems. ;o
