No man page exists for /etc/hesiod.conf. (Fortunately, hesiod(3)
mentions HES_DOMAIN, so it's not a problem. I don't see how anyone
could ever use a different LHS value and still get any sort of
interoperability, anyways.)
The hesiod(3) man page does not indicate what kind of storage
allocation is used for the values returned -- static storage, one
large buffer that should be freed, a series of strings that should
each be freed, et cetera.
Although hesiod(3) documents hes_resolve and hes_error, invoking man
with those routine names as arguments does not call it up.
It might be helpful if <hesiod.h> contained prototypes. Also, the
$Athena$ line should be removed, or it should be checked in/out with
-hAthena.
