Description of problem: The man entry for rresvport states: "The rresvport() function is used to obtain a socket with a privileged address bound to it." Then it continues to state: "Privileged Internet ports are those in the range 0 to 1023." All of which is true. But in actual fact the notes fail to mention that rresvport() returns a port number in the range 512 through 1023 only. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-2.11.1-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. man rresvport Actual results: See description Expected results: It should instead state: "The rresvport() function is used to obtain a socket with its port number bound to an available value between 512 and 1023 inclusive, being a subset of the privileged port range (0 through 1023).

Thanks fixed in man-pages-3.26-1.
