Description michal 2000-04-05 18:23:57 UTC 
sln utility is provided by glibc but its manual page shows up
only in util-linux and is not installed by this package.

Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2000-10-09 16:56:50 UTC 
The sln.8 man page is included in util-linux-2.10o-1, but the Right Thing To Do
is bundle the man page with the executable in glibc. Changing component to glibc

Still needs adjusting in 8.0
Comment 3 Jakub Jelinek 2003-04-23 23:16:33 UTC 
glibc doesn't come with any man-pages for the utilities it provides nor its APIs
(with exception of glibc-devel), so IMHO this should go into man-pages like
ldd, ld.so or ldconfig man pages.
Comment 4 Ivana Varekova 2005-08-23 12:57:55 UTC 
sln man page is in man-pages now (man-pages version 2.07-2).
