Description Joshua Moore-Oliva 2003-04-27 02:00:00 UTC 
pthread_setspecific and pthread_getspecific missing from full updated gentoo 1.4 
stable.  info pthread_setspecific and man pthread_setspecific both return no results.

man pthread_key_create
returns the required page, now what to do about it???

I have tested a Redhat 7.2 system and a Debian Woody system, both do not have
a man symlink from pthread_key_create to pthread_getspecific or pthread_setspecific, so Gentoo is not alone.

"whatis pthread_setspecific" returns the correct info though (ie. the man page to look at).

I think Gentoo is in good company with Rehat and Debian and it should be left as it is, who knows ...
