SEE ALSO: func based or man page based?

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

 



i often remember the func name "sigprocmask".  but when i'm in that page,
i have a hard time remembering the exact naming for the set operators.
rather than search, i figure just checking out the SEE ALSO section will
quickly answer me ... except it doesn't (directly).

this is what sigprocmask(2) has:
SEE ALSO
    kill(2), pause(2), sigaction(2), signal(2), sigpending(2),
    sigsuspend(2), pthread_sigmask(3), sigqueue(3), sigsetops(3),
    signal(7)

i read that a few times and then just start picking signal related
pages until i stumble across sigsetops(3).

is there a policy against listing the functions that appear in a
grouped page ?  or would it be ok to add the funcs in the sigsetops
page directly to sigprocmask's SEE ALSO ?  grepping shows that at
least select_tut(2) is out of sync ...
