Synopsis: getprogname.3 misleading

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: brueffer
State-Changed-When: Mon Nov 16 17:06:40 CET 2009
State-Changed-Why: 
After consulting with kib, the manpage is correct.  The sentence
you're citing means that calling setprogname() even though it is
not needed on FreeBSD allows getprogname() implementations
on other systems to retrieve and return the program name in any case.
