Description of problem: The man page for inet_aton provides an incorrect example: [...] if (inet_aton(argv[1], &addr) == 0) { perror("inet_aton"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } [...] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man-pages-3.35-2.fc17.noarch How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. man inet_aton 2. Compile example from man page to a.out Actual results: > ./a.out not-an-ip-address inet_aton: Success Expected results: The example should not recommend using perror. inet_aton is not a system call and perror prints "Success" even on an error. Instead, the example should use fprintf (stderr, ...). Additional info:
