Description vhaisman 2012-03-29 18:00:39 UTC 
The manual pages hosted by freebsd.org for HP-UX seem somehow mangled/broken. E.g., <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=setsockopt&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=HP-UX+11.22&arch=default&format=html>. This page does not contain any of the useful information like function signatures and types. Also later in the text of the page there is this:

	      boolean ) 	       Returns a non-zero value if socket lis-
				       tening is enabled, otherwise returns  a
				       zero value.

This makes no sense at all.

Fix: 

Wish I knew.
How-To-Repeat: Visit pretty much any HP-UX man page.

I'm not sure I understand the problem.  Is this manual page different
than that of the HP-UX manual (installed with HP-UX)?

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

The HP manual pages are provided as it is. We do not have the resources to fix bugs in legacy man pages from 3rd part vendors. Sorry!
