           Summary: man pages for C structs
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
        AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: serge+bugzilla.kernel.org@xxxxxxxxxx
        Regression: No


It would be useful to be able to search for the name of a C struct to get its
definition with an explanation of its fields.

If having separate pages for each struct is undesirable, these could simply be
troff includes ('.so') of a page which actually describes the struct.
i.e. "man timeval" (or maybe "man 'struct timeval'") could bring up the page
for 'gettimeofday'.
