Description of problem: The ip(7) man page indicates that IP_MULTICAST_IF takes an argument which is an ip_mreqn or ip_mreq structure. In reality, IP_MULTICAST_IF takes an argument which is an ip_mreqn or in_addr structure. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man-pages-2.39-12.el5 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. man 7 tcp 2. Search for IP_MULTICAST_IF 3. Read which argument(s) it takes Actual results: man page claims that IP_MULTICAST_IF takes ip_mreqn or ip_mreq structure. Expected results: man page claims that IP_MULTICAST_IF takes ip_mreqn or in_addr structure. Additional info: LSB gets it wrong as well. In all non-Linux implementations, IP_MULTICAST_IF takes an in_addr structure.
