Ubuntu – How to find the man page for makefiles?

I’m looking for the man pages of the makefile, and not the man pages of the make program.

The latter, I can find and read its man pages easily by running man make. But for the former, I cannot find any man pages on how to actually write a makefile. I’ve run apropos make on my Linux machine (Ubuntu) and I didn’t find any reference to a man page for the actual makefiles.
