Note, by the way, that the Linux man-pages project sits outside of the glibc project. The documentation for that project is the glibc manual, but many things also are not documented there. Also, there are the POSIX man pages, which are distributed by the Linux man-pages project. These are extracts from POSIX, and document (the standard behavior) of all of the pthreads functions that are in POSIX. Installing those pages may give you some of what you want. >> [1]: https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/missing_pages.html > > [adding Michael Kerrisk] > > Wikipedia says: > {in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_POSIX_Thread_Library} > > "NPTL has been part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux since version 3, and > in the Linux kernel since version 2.6.
