Description ue 2000-03-01 18:40:03 UTC 
The manualpage for gethostbyname contains a reference to 'libc(3)'.  We do
not have a seperate manualpage for libc, only intro(3). The reference should
be changed to point to that manualpage. The manualpages for endhostent(3),
gethostbyaddr(3), gethostbyname2(3), gethostent(3), herror(3), hstrerror(3)
and sethostent(3) are hard links to gethostbyname(3) and show the same
problem.

A patch to that effect has been included.

It's time to have libc(3) manpage. I'll be tracking this process.

I think someone else may have enough time to work on libc(3) manpage.

Comment 5 Siebrand Mazeland 2005-12-31 16:12:09 UTC 
It appears as if this PR is no longer current. Libc(3) is no longer
Mentioned in the manual page for gethostbyname(3). I think it can
be closed.

A recent correspondant suggests that this PR is now moot.
