[RFC] argz(3) and envz(3)

[RFC] argz(3) and envz(3)

[Bert Wesarg]

Hello,

the argz_*(3) pages references the envz(3) in the See ALSO section,
and the other way around to, but booth argz(3) and envz(3) pages do
not exists.

This could be fixed by rename man3/argz_add.3 to man3/argz.3, add a
new man3/argz_add.3 with a .so to man3/argz.3, and change all
references of the man3/argz_*.3 pages too.
The same for envz.3.

The patch for this is a little big, but trivial.

Should I send it?

Regards
Bert Wesarg

Hello Bert,

No need to send the patch.  I'll either fix as you suggest, or name
the argz.3 and envz.3 pages as .'so links.

Thanks for spotting this!

Cheers,

Michael

Hi Bert,

I've gone for a simpler change.  In envz_add.3 I did a s/argz/argz_add/,
and analogously for argz_add.3.  (There were no other pages that reference
these two pages.)

The change will be in man-pages-2.72.

Cheers,

Michael

Sure,

this is a solution too. But I must admit, that I forget sometimes a
function of the argz/envz set and just type 'man argz' in the hope
that this man page exists.

But now I should know at least the argz_add, so I'm fine with this.

Hi Bert,

That's a point.  I'll create .so files argz.3 and envz.3 that point to *_add.3.

Cheers,

Michael
