GNU/Linux systems have two sections: 'man 3' for system writeup, and 'man 3p' for POSIX pages. This is useful, because in many instances, the system writeup has more details about Linux-specific extensions, while the 3p page is more useful for limiting usage to just portable aspects. Having both sets shouldn't hurt, if we have a way to easily open from either set. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
