[Bug manual/6890] New: DT_UNKNOWN happens on GNU


Hi again everyone,

in manual, in description of struct dirent,
for member d_type, it is said :
  "`DT_UNKNOWN'	 Type is unknown.
   On some systems this is only value returned."

I have encountered this on GNU+Linux ,
  namely when reading files from CDs (iso9660 filesystem).
I had not suspected this,
  since phrase 'on some systems' made it sound like
  it only happens on some obsolete windows systems.
So i think it would be an enhancement to note this in manual.
