Subject: [patch 3/7] getspnam.3: wfix
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2015 22:18:21 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <54B882FD.9090009@redhat.com> (raw)

Harmonize all the manual pages to use "stream" for FILE*
instead of randomly using "fp" or "stream." Choosing something
and being consistent helps users scan the man pages quickly
and understand what they are looking at.

Patch against master.
