whereis(1)? Again, not POSIX, but might not deviate so much.
$ whereis sleep | fmt
sleep: /usr/bin/sleep /usr/share/man/man3/sleep.3.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/sleep.3p.gz /usr/share/man/man1/sleep.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/sleep.1p.gz
$ whereis -m sleep | fmt
sleep: /usr/share/man/man3/sleep.3.gz /usr/share/man/man3/sleep.3p.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/sleep.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/sleep.1p.gz
