Hi. Two small issues: 1. At least FreeBSD and NetBSD define ffs(3) in <strings.h>, as mandated/recommended by POSIX. 2. In endian(3) there are some historical notes that are incorrect or at least unclear. I could probably go and audit rest of the manual pages that contains (often outdated or plain wrong) references to the BSDs and other operating systems. While reading the changelog, I noticed (an implicit?) trend towards trying to limit the documentation to Linux only. I think this is a good idea; surely there is enough work to keep the manual pages updated with respect to Linux alone. - Jukka.
