Subject: rt 7.2P: dyn man page confusion
Date: Thu, 31 Jan 91 21:20:45 EST
From: Barr3y.Jaspan@ATHENA.MIT.EDU, bjaspan@mit.edu <bjaspan@ATHENA.MIT.EDU>
System name: portnoy
Type and version: RTPC-ROMPC 7.2P (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: apa16
What were you trying to do?
Convince myself that Athena wasn't silly enough to put my dynamic
object library into the release.
What's wrong:
They did. :-) Actually, the bug is this:
<portnoy> ~% ( unsetenv MANPATH ; man -k dyn )
dyn (3) - the C++ Dynamic Object library
dyn (3M) - the C Dynamic Object library
editres (1) - a dynamic resource editor for X Toolkit applications
netconfig (8) - configure the network and hostname dynamically
The version that's installed is (I assume) the C version, and the man
page is dyn(3). dyn(3M) does not exist (I believe).
What should have happened:
(1) I should have demanded royalties for the library. :-)
(2) The dyn(3) man page should describe itself as "the C Dynamic
Object library" and the dyn(3M) reference should go away.
