from 'man man-pages':

   Sections of the Manual Pages
       The manual Sections are traditionally defined as follows:

       1 Commands (Programs)
                 Those commands that can be executed by the user from within a shell.

        [...}

       8 System management commands
                 Commands like mount(8), many of which only root can execute.


So I believe all man pages for INN command belong in section 1.
