Description Jeff Bastian 2009-01-13 16:40:55 UTC
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.

Comment 1 Ivana Varekova 2009-04-21 07:02:04 UTC
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.
