I want to provide doc for the iconv program. Should I
- Start a new chapter in the libc manual?
Wouldn't --help be enough (for all the noted programs)?
- Start a new manual for the programs that accompany libc?
Depends on how much documentation they need I guess. If it is just a
few pages, I don't think it would be worth it.
- Start a 'man' directory containing manual pages?
- Write a manual page and submit it to the Linux man page maintainer,
Andries Brouwer?
Man pages are secondary in the GNU project. And recall that glibc
runs on non-Linux platforms.
