The first possibility doesn't make sense without also removing the deridive adjective "strange", because with changed meaning the function is not really all that strange, is it? Also, I don't see why the man page should enumerate random functions from other operating systems which *don't* exist on Linux? Shouldn't there be enough space used up for functions that we *do* have? When such a function is introduced in glibc, by all means document it. In other words, I think #2 would be appropriate. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
