Thanks for the update. The getaddrinfo manpage on Ubuntu 9.04 has text.
"Specifying hints as NULL is equivalent to setting ai_socktype and ai_protocol to 0; ai_family to AF_UNSPEC; and ai_flags to (AI_V4MAPPED | AI_ADDRCONFIG)." I notice there are two getaddrinfo manpages, section 3 and 3posix. I didn't spotted that before. The section 3 manpage correctly documents the glibc implementation. So I the manpage part of this bug is fixed (or wasn't a bug to start with). Thanks for raising the glibc bug, it'll be interesting to see the reasoning behind the deviation from the POSIX standard. -- getaddrinfo manpage doesn't match glibc implementation when hints is NULL https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153571 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
