Ciao,
in the documentation of glibc 2.27, the description of "confstr()"
says:
Currently there is just one parameter you can read with @code{confstr}:
and then it lists more than one parameter; the following parameters are
missing from the glibc documentation, but they are present in the manual
page of the same function:
_CS_GNU_LIBC_VERSION
_CS_GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
I see that these constants are used in the very source tree of glibc.
The "at" functions (openat, linkat, unlinkat, ...) are undocumented
despite being in the POSIX standard; is there a specific reason?
What about the executable program "getconf"? Is it actually meant to
be fully undocumented?
Is it fine to complain about the documentation? ;-)
TIA
