What's needed are man pages of the form

.so man3/moira.3

for such items like mr_connect.3 etc....

Subject: vax 7.4B: moira library man page missing
Date: Tue, 26 May 92 02:12:32 EDT

System name:		valhalla
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.4B (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?

	Look up something about the moira library.

What's wrong:

  	The man page for the moira library routines is missing, but
there is still an entry in whatis: 

  > which man
  /usr/ucb/man
  > ls /usr/athena/bin/man
  /usr/athena/bin/man not found (No such file or directory)
  > echo $MANPATH
  /usr/athena/man:/usr/man
  > man -k mr_connect
  mr_connect, mr_host, mr_auth, mr_disconnect, mr_noop, mr_access,
  mr_query, mr_do_update, mr_motd, mr_set_alternate_input,
  format_filesys_type, parse_filesys_type, canonicalize_hostname, strsave,
  strtrim, sq_create, sq_destroy, sq_get_data,sq_remove_data, sq_empty,
  sq_save_args, sq_save_data, sq_save_unique_data,
  sq_save_unique_string(3)
  > man mr_connect
  No manual entry for mr_connect.
  > grep mr_connect /usr/athena/man/whatis
  mr_connect, mr_host, mr_auth, mr_disconnect, mr_noop, mr_access,
  mr_query, mr_do_update, mr_motd, mr_set_alternate_input,
  format_filesys_type, parse_filesys_type, canonicalize_hostname, strsave,
  strtrim, sq_create, sq_destroy, sq_get_data,sq_remove_data, sq_empty,
  sq_save_args, sq_save_data, sq_save_unique_data,
  sq_save_unique_string(3)
  > ls /usr/athena/man/man3/mr*
  ls: No match.


What should have happened:

	Kindly install the man page, or remove the whois entry.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

	They aren't there.
