Hi, I'd like to make the attached improvement to pthread_getspecific(3), and this is my first time through a man page edit/commit, so I have a couple of questions and would like to catch whatever else I'm missing.
1. Attribution - I'm using a lightly edited line from http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/pthread_getspecific.html (edited to account for the fact that we do not document both pthread_getspecific() and pthread_setspecific() in the same man page). I'm assuming that this falls under whatever agreement covers the existing man page (which was constructed in similar fashion), but there is currently no attribution in pthread_getspecific(3) and I'm not aware of what agreement may be in place that allows for this. 2. Markup - should I be using .Pq instead of explicit parentheses? Thanks, Patrick <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/pthread_getspecific.html>
