Description of problem: A man page exists for a number of resolver functions including res_init, res_query, res_search, etc, but not for the thread-safe 'res_n' flavor of those functions, res_ninit, res_nquery, res_nsearch, etc. The thread-safe functions use a user-declared res_state struct instead of the shared _res. Please add man pages for res_ninit, res_nquery, res_nsearch, etc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man-pages-3.09-2.fc10 glibc-2.9-3 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. man res_nquery Actual results: No manual entry for res_nquery Expected results: a man page on res_nquery should be displayed Additional info: In the glibc source tree, see resolv/README section "Using the resolver in multi-threaded code" for a description of the functions. http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/libc/resolv/README?rev=1.2&cvsroot=glibc
This task is on man-pages upstream todo list now. If time permits I will create the man page but there are probably more relevant persons (the authors of these functions) which could do it.
