However I cannot remember it right now. Does the MLINK actually get installed correctly in this case? I don't think we have any other man pages that do cross-section links like this. Does it "whatis malloc.conf" report the correct thing? If I remember right, cross-section links like this cause problems. Also, the malloc(3) man page does not include malloc.conf in its name section, so that is an mdoc style violation. I think this commit is a bad idea. There should be a real malloc.conf.5 man page instead. -Mike -- Mike Pritchard mpp@FreeBSD.org or mpp@mppsystems.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
