Changed type of ai_addrlen in struct addrinfo

Changed type of ai_addrlen in struct addrinfo

[Jak]

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.

Thanks for the report. Fixed for man-pages-3.39.

Cheers,
