Subject: Changed type of ai_addrlen in struct addrinfo
Date: Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:37:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F7B4373.1060504@gmx.ca> (raw)

Hi,

<http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/getaddrinfo.3.html> says that 
struct addrinfo contains:

         size_t    ai_addrlen;

However, in the GNU C Library, the type was changed on 2000-04-01 from 
size_t to socklen_t, as ChangeLog.11 in the glibc source shows:

         * resolv/netdb.h
         [...]
         (struct addrinfo): Use socklen_t for ai_addrlen element.

Please could the manpage be updated?

Thanks,
Jak.
