The man(1) manual page has no mention about the exit status of the command.
Nothing.

Here is an copy of the debian man(1) page section, and I wish we would have
something similar in our documentation:

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=man&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=Debian+8.1.0&arch=default&format=html#EXIT_STATUS

EXIT STATUS
       0      Successful program execution.
       1      Usage, syntax or configuration file error.
       2      Operational error.
       3      A child process returned a non-zero exit status.
       16     At least one of the pages/files/keywords didn't exist or wasn't
matched.
