Hi James,

Sorry for the delay!

Okay.

:-)
But, I understand the rest.

Yes.  After you said these, I remembered that I asked about that some time ago.
 The ML was subscribed again to this bugzilla activity :)

Now the review:

Could you please use '.IR ...' instead of '\fI...\fP...'?

See this extract from man-manpages(7):

[[
       The preferred way to write this in the source file is:

           .BR fcntl ()

       (Using this format, rather than the use of  "\fB...\fP()"
       makes it easier to write tools that parse man page source
       files.)
]]


> Thanks again for your help.

Thank you!

Alex
