Description Scott R. Godin 2003-05-01 21:37:59 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830

Description of problem:
in (man ipcalc) at the bottom it mentions 
SEE ALSO
        ipcalc(3)
and yet 
$man 3 ipcalc
gives: 
No entry for ipcalc in section 3 of the manual

*sigh* 

As I scan the list of bugs for 'initscripts' I see 179 bugs listed, NOT ONE OF
WHICH IS MARKED "CLOSED" .. they are all either NEW or ASSIGNED,  with a few
REOPENED for fun. That's just depressing. 

oh and 

$ ls /usr/share/doc/initscripts-6.95/
ChangeLog  changes.ipv6  ipv6-6to4.howto  ipv6-tunnel.howto  static-routes-ipv6
 sysconfig.txt  sysvinitfiles

evidently ipcalc(3) isn't in /usr/share/doc/* either. 




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -qf `where ipcalc`
initscripts-6.95-1


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. read ipcalc manpage, observe see also ipcalc(3)
2. attempt to read ipcalc(3) for additional info
3. fall flat on face even after also trying man -a ipcalc
    

Actual Results:  No entry for ipcalc in section 3 of the manual

Expected Results:  additional info? examples of proper usage of ipcalc?
Conversely, no "see also" section ? 

Additional info:

section 3 seems an odd place for the ipcalc "see also"

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2003-05-01 23:02:39 UTC
The default query doesn't show closed bugs.

Reference to ipcalc(3) removed... there is no library with that API.

Will be fixed in 7.19-1.
