Package: manpages-dev
Version: 4.07-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
In "man wcstombs" the words
The function wcsrtombs(3) provides a thread safe interface to the same
functionality.
should be changed to
The function wcsrtombs(3) provides a better interface to the same
functionality.
Because
1) wcsrtombs is not thread safe if "ps" is NULL (see "ATTRIBUTES" in "man
wcsrtombs")
2) wcstombs *is* thread safe (see "ATTRIBUTES" in "man wcstombs")
3) "man mbstowcs" says "The function mbsrtowcs(3) provides a better interface
to the same functionality." in the same NOTES section.
