We do not have a seperate manualpage for libc, only intro(3). The reference should be changed to point to that manualpage. The manualpages for endhostent(3), gethostbyaddr(3), gethostbyname2(3), gethostent(3), herror(3), hstrerror(3) and sethostent(3) are hard links to gethostbyname(3) and show the same problem. A patch to that effect has been included. >How-To-Repeat: N/A >Fix: --- /usr/src/lib/libc/net/gethostbyname.3.orig Mon Feb 28 20:10:33 2000 +++ /usr/src/lib/libc/net/gethostbyname.3 Mon Feb 28 20:11:45 2000 @@ -249,8 +249,8 @@ and .Fn endhostent are redefined, -when -.Xr libc 3 +when libc (see +.Xr intro 3 ) is built to use only the routines to lookup in .Pa /etc/hosts and not the name server. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
