Thanks for the references!
With those, I'll do a second round of changes (after all of the man[23]
pages are changed to use LIBRARY, which is the first round), checking
that the info in LIBRARY is accurate, and possibly documenting also the
standard if we were documenting a glibc extension. Now I'll assume the
man pages are correct, and only move around the info.
Cheers,
Alex
