What were you trying to do?
View the man page for cfree, a function in the C library that
is the opposite of calloc and takes the the arguments
"pointer, nelem, elsize".
What's wrong:
There's no man page.
What should have happened:
Cfree should be described in malloc(3), and there should be a
".so" link to malloc.3 from cfree.3 so that "man cfree" will
work.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
malloc(3). Also, ~source/4.3/lib/libc/gen/calloc.c for the
source code for cfree (which is VERY simple).

P.S. Perhaps this one should get forwarded to Berkeley if it isn't
fixed in Tahoe.
