Duplicated text in getaddrinfo(3)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The current version of getaddrinfo(3) seems to have some a small amount of duplicative text, possibly a small cut-paste fudge.

Describing the results placed into the returned addrinfo struct:

The members
.IR ai_family ,
.IR ai_socktype ,
and
.I ai_protocol
have the same meaning as the corresponding parameters in the
.BR socket (2)
system call.


Then, two paragraphs later:

.IR ai_family ,
.IR ai_socktype ,
and
.I ai_protocol
specify the socket creation parameters.

Even those the immediately preceding sentence refers to the hints input parameter, this sentence seems to refer to the output addrinfo struct again, and just restates the description given two paragraphs earlier.
