Some background.  In release 2.28, upstream man-pages added
sem_* pages.  As noted in the ChagelogL

    These pages supercede and provide a superset of the information
    in the glibc (3thr) "semaphores(3)" manual page.

(Obviously, "supercede" is my point of view.  My pages
do contain more, and more up to date, info.  I wish glibc
could decide on just info or just man pages...)

Cheers,

Michael
