Package: manpages-dev
Version: 3.74-1
Severity: minor
File: socketpair

Hi,

reading 'man 2 socketpair' it is unclear where the new SOCK_NONBLOCK
and SOCK_CLOEXEC flags go in the function call. One has to read
through "man 2 socket" to discover that the type argument now also
serves as flags.

I recommend making this a bit clearer by changing the Notes from:

       Since   Linux  2.6.27,  socketpair()  supports  the  SOCK_NONBLOCK  and
       SOCK_CLOEXEC flags described in socket(2).

to:

       Since   Linux  2.6.27,  socketpair()  supports  the  SOCK_NONBLOCK  and
       SOCK_CLOEXEC flags in the _type_ argument as described in socket(2).
