Bug#4231: acct(2) man page refers to nonexistent acct(5) man page
Richard> Package: manpages
Richard> Version: 1.11-4
...
Richard> No manual entry for acct in section 5
I wrote a realy minimial acct(5) for the acct package which basically refers
back to acct(2), see below.
As acct.h is in the kernel source, and hence in libc5-dev, this acct.5 (or
an improved version) chould move to manpages.
.TH ACCT 5 "1995 October 31" "Debian/GNU Linux"
.SH NAME
acct \- execution accounting file
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <sys/acct.h>
.SH DESCRIPTION
The kernel maintains an accounting information structure for all
processes. If a process terminates, and accounting is enabled, the kernel
calls the
.BR acct (2)
function to prepare, and then append, a record for this process
to the accounting file. The accounting structure
.B "struct acct"
is described in the file
.IR /usr/src/linux/include/acct.h .
.SH SEE ALSO
.BR acct (2),
.BR sa (1).
