*stamp of approval* fairly noddy page, but better than nothing.

az: could you add this in the next time you do a glibc release so we can resolve this :)
Comment 5 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-12-18 12:22:53 UTC 
belongs in man-pages i think
Comment 6 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-13 03:25:41 UTC 
Could we add this into man-pages then please? :)

vapier: please include in your next glibc or man-pages bump.
Comment 8 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-12-22 16:09:13 UTC 
Is there any reason not to push this upstream? Have anybody reported this?
Comment 9 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-03-05 21:27:48 UTC 
should be included in man-pages-3.37+
