The preferred version is something close to what .Rv produces: schwarze@isnote $ echo ".Rv\n.Pp\n.Rv foo" | mandoc -mdoc Upon successful completion, the value 0 is returned; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error. The foo() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error. That gives, for a page with one function, or if all functions have the same return values, taking accept(2) as an example: Upon successful completion, a non-negative integer representing the file descriptor for the accepted socket is returned; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable .Va errno is set to indicate the error. I think fhopen(3) can remain as it is, even though it differs in a few very small details. Yours, Ingo
