Hi Branden,I guess you remember the discussion a few months ago about pages of the form statx-struct(3). I'm still not convinced by that, because it means more typing, and because it breaks with existing practice. libbsd for example just puts timespec(3) in the global 3 section, with no -struct. Also, some other UNIX systems don't put -struct, but move the pages to 3TYPE, a subsection of 3. I think I like that way most, and that also fixes the concerns that Michael had about shadowing other more important pages, because we can just tell man-db to specify that 3TYPE should be one of the last things to check. What do you think about it?
I think I'm going to move all type pages to 3TYPE. Also, I don't know if I should use a separate directory for that or use man3 and just change the extension. What would you do? I see that debian just puts everything in man? and then only changes the file extension, but there are other systems that also change dirs, right? What should we do upstream?
