I seem to remember that my thoughts when I saw the report were:

stdio is marked in italics, which usually would mean a type (by the
context), but it's not a type, so probably the author meant FILE and
wrote stdio as a typo.  But it could also be that the author meant '.BR
stdio (7)', and it's only a ffix.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Alex
