That's fine, but where's the manpage?  I assumed it was part of
glibc, and a standard UNIX function.  As such, I assumed it would
have a manpage, and I wanted to read it.  There was something I
was curious about, and unable to find.  Also, I got errors when
compiling that the function was in limbo.

BTW, what version of RH are you using?  FTR - libc is obsolete.

Thanks for your message though.  I guess I should bugzilla this..

Take care,
TTYL
