Subject: [Bug 52741] New: getnameinfo man page has inappropriate text copied from getaddrinfo
Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:50:30 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-52741-11311@https.bugzilla.kernel.org/> (raw)
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52741
Summary: getnameinfo man page has inappropriate text copied
from getaddrinfo
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: bigpeteb-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org
Regression: No
As of release 3.43 on 2012-08-05, the man page for getnameinfo(3) contains the
following in its first paragraph:
"It combines the functionality of gethostbyaddr(3) and getservbyport(3), but
unlike those functions, getaddrinfo(3) is reentrant and allows programs to
eliminate IPv4-versus-IPv6 dependencies."
This text is identical to what's in getaddrinfo(3). It seems someone copied it
but didn't rewrite it to describe the functions that getnameinfo(3) is intended
to replace.
