From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Sam Varshavchik Subject: Duplicated text in getaddrinfo(3) Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2008 19:46:26 -0500 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; boundary="=_mimegpg-commodore.email-scan.com-11463-1203900386-0002"; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature" Return-path: Sender: linux-man-owner-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org To: linux-man-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org List-Id: linux-man@vger.kernel.org This is a MIME GnuPG-signed message. If you see this text, it means that your E-mail or Usenet software does not support MIME signed messages. The Internet standard for MIME PGP messages, RFC 2015, was published in 1996.

Describing the results placed into the returned addrinfo struct: The members .IR ai_family , .IR ai_socktype , and .I ai_protocol have the same meaning as the corresponding parameters in the .BR socket (2) system call. Then, two paragraphs later: .IR ai_family , .IR ai_socktype , and .I ai_protocol specify the socket creation parameters. Even those the immediately preceding sentence refers to the hints input parameter, this sentence seems to refer to the output addrinfo struct again, and just restates the description given two paragraphs earlier. --=_mimegpg-commodore.email-scan.com-11463-1203900386-0002 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBHwg/ix9p3GYHlUOIRAtvZAJ9tGKP0M56kJ9g6YCcrsH0TuPrwDgCfQ03f bWq07j5sQQj1d/xH8Zzw+Hw= =mhRO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=_mimegpg-commodore.email-scan.com-11463-1203900386-0002--
