With vanishingly few exceptions (notable by their rarity), source code is not documentation. There's a reason NetBSD has section 9. For that matter, most manpages are depressingly poor, but they are usually better than telling people "UTSL". (I don't know anything about the quality of the manpages in question here, except that someone invented yet another markup language for them, which is a mild negative to me; the xsrc trees I have on hand don't have any *.rst files.) /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
