https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52741 Summary: getnameinfo man page has inappropriate text copied from getaddrinfo Product: Documentation Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: man-pages AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: bigpeteb@xxxxxxxxx Regression: No As of release 3.43 on 2012-08-05, the man page for getnameinfo(3) contains the following in its first paragraph: "It combines the functionality of gethostbyaddr(3) and getservbyport(3), but unlike those functions, getaddrinfo(3) is reentrant and allows programs to eliminate IPv4-versus-IPv6 dependencies." This text is identical to what's in getaddrinfo(3). It seems someone copied it but didn't rewrite it to describe the functions that getnameinfo(3) is intended to replace. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
