rp should be ep in PTHREAD_COND_DESTROY(3P)

rp should be ep in PTHREAD_COND_DESTROY(3P)

[张海]

In the EXAMPLES section of PTHREAD_COND_DESTROY(3P), there are the
following piece of code:

(A) pthread_cond_broadcast(&ep->notbusy);
    pthread_mutex_unlock(&lp->lm);
(B) pthread_cond_destroy(&rp->notbusy);

However according to the context, the rp in (B) should be ep, as in
(A), and there are no other occurrence of rp within the page. Key e
and r are close to each other anyway.

I'm referring to a man-pages 4.02-4 on Arch Linux.

(I'm sending this again because vger.kernel.org rejected my previous
email sent from Google Inbox for having HTML content which cannot be
turned off within it.)

Thanks. This is a bug in the text of the standard, which apparently
has already been fixed:

http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=910

I probably won't fix this page, but one day in the future we'll 
upgrade the 3p pages to latest version from The Open Group.

Thanks,

Michael
