Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/4] man[23]/: Add LIBRARY section
Date: Fri, 21 May 2021 23:16:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210521211652.49949-1-alx.manpages@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi Michael,
As I told you some time ago, I liked the style of FreeBSD for specifying
where a function comes from. See for example:
<https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=open&apropos=0&sektion=2&manpath=FreeBSD+12.2-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=default&format=html>
and
<https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=gamma&apropos=0&sektion=3&manpath=FreeBSD+12.2-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=default&format=html>.
I wrote a few pages to cover most cases:
- A syscall needing syscall(2).
- A syscall wrapped by a library other than glibc.
- A syscall wrapped by glibc.
- A math function.
What do you think about it?
Cheers,
Alex
