Subject: [Bug 80541] New: man pages for unimplemented functions provoke name clash
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2014 21:37:00 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-80541-11311@https.bugzilla.kernel.org/> (raw)
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80541
Bug ID: 80541
Summary: man pages for unimplemented functions provoke name
clash
Product: Documentation
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: man-pages
Assignee: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/vQLgFONoPN62D2FQJk+8+b@public.gmane.org
Reporter: j.wuttke-97/bSmCnXvjoK6nBLMlh1Q@public.gmane.org
Regression: No
A page like cerf(3), which says "not yet in glibc, as at version 2.12",
provokes a name clash if some other library provides the missing
implementation.
The rpm package managers reacts to such name clash by suggesting to uninstall
libc, which is no clever resolution.
I suggest to resolve this problem by moving man pages of unimplemented
functions to manual section 7, so that they can peacefully coexist in the
shadow of section 3 pages provided by more specific libraries.
