Do you think that the umtx KPI may have reached the appropriate level of maturity for writing up a man page? The KSE equivalent has had a substantive man page for quite some time. I would be more than happy to do any of the necessary technical copy-editing for the English.

At this point I think you may be the only person well acquainted with the KPI. Thanks.

During our threading discussion and code-reading session at the dev summit, the KSE man page was very helpful in understanding what was going on; having similar man pages for the libthr and umtx system calls would have been very helpful. The interfaces are a lot less complicated, but man pages are very useful generally. :-)
