The system release notes indicate a slight inconsistency in the way some
man pages have been added for File Exchange (fx) and Moira (mr) library
calls. (If I understand the situation correctly, which I may not...)
In each case, as far as I can gather, there's really only one man page (fxcl.3
and moira.3). But the release notes indicate (correctly) that a whole list of
new Moira entries (e.g., mr_host.3, strsave.3, sq_create.3) is now recognized
by "man". (I guess these are implemented as aliases -- or whatever you call
them in man pages -- that point to the one man page moira.3.)
If that's the way to go, the different fxcl entries should be given similar
aliasing. The "entries" (which should all just alias to fxcl.3) are:
fx_open.3
fx_close.3
fx_create.3
fx_acl_add.3
fx_acl_del.3
fx_acl_list.3
fx_acl_list_destroy.3
fx_list.3
fx_list_destroy.3
paper_copy.3
fx_move.3
fx_copy.3
fx_delete.3
Bruce and Bill, does that sound right to you?
(On the other hand, we could pull out the moira aliases; my point is to just
be consistent in how we create new man entries...)
