           Summary: preadv(2) and pwritev(2) lack man pages, pread64(2)
                    and pwrite64(2) aren't mentioned on their man pages
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
        AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/vQLgFONoPN62D2FQJk+8+b@public.gmane.org
        ReportedBy: abacabadabacaba-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org
        Regression: No


System calls preadv(2) and pwritev(2) are provided by Linux kernel, and glibc
has wrappers for them, but there are no corresponding man pages.

Man pages for pread64(2) and pwrite64(2) redirect to pread(2) man page.
However, these system calls aren't mentioned on that man page.

Eugene, this would have been best submitted as two bug reports, because these
really are two separate issues.

However, by chance, I had recently dealt with on of the issues: the lack of a
preadv() and pwritev() documentation (now added to the readv(2) page).

Your report triggered me to deal with the other issue as well. I added a note
as follows:

       On  Linux,  the  underlying  system calls were renamed in
       kernel 2.6: pread() became pread64(), and pwrite() became
       pwrite64(),  The  system  call numbers remained the same.
       The glibc pread() and pwrite() wrapper  functions  trans-
       parently deal with the change.

All of the changes are already pushed to git,and will be in man-pages 3.32.
