Subject: gethostid/sethostid in wrong manual section
Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2008 23:39:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081222233953.GG16155@riva.ucam.org> (raw)

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/manpages/+bug/17551 reports
(and I've confirmed) that gethostid/sethostid are in section 2 despite
being implemented by glibc, not the kernel; they aren't just syscall
stubs either. Should they be moved to section 3?

Thanks,
