Package: libc-bin
Version: 2.29-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/getconf
Tags: patch
To reproduce, and actual output:
mariner:~> man -k sysconf
sysconf (3) - get configuration information at run time
mariner:~>
Expected output:
mariner:~> man -k sysconf
sysconf (3) - get configuration information at run time
getconf (1) - Query system configuration variables (sysconf)
mariner:~>
This could be fixed by changing the manpage title; patch attached.
I chose not to mention pathconf since someone looking for a tool to do
pathconf would probably think to ask about sysconf.
But if "system configuration variables" could be abbreviated or left
out, "patchconf" could be mentioned too.
