Use man -a socket
(shows all the pages in different sections that match)
or change /usr/share/man/man.cf to put 3xnet before
3socket (and 1t, for that matter).
* offer an incentive for equal Solaris support of open-source apps
(may not have to be cash, could be the usual swag too)
* offer porting assistance (to include free access to suitable systems
for doing the porting work on)
* provide and widely publicize a guide to common problems and solutions
regarding porting to Solaris
and maybe
* start bringing build environment and tools (and perhaps basic administrative
functionality) into the standards process
Some changes to be more like other OSs are reasonable; some perhaps are not.
I don't know which this is. I don't think looking just like whichever of {
Linux, *BSD,
Mac OS X, ... } is always the answer though, unless you really want to throw in
the towel,
GPL DTrace and ZFS, put together a compatibility layer for existing Solaris
binaries to run
on Linux, and die, and I don't want to see that happen: there's just too much
other good
stuff here, and too much value in a diverse ecosystem.
