- Subject: glibc-doc: Manual pages are outdated for NPTL
- From: Josef Spillner <2005@kuarepoti-dju.net>

Package: glibc-doc
Version: 2.7-6
Severity: normal
The man pages are LinuxThreads-specific, even though the default
implementation of pthreads is NPTL nowadays. Some library calls such as
pthread_mutexattr_setpshared are missing, and some of the limitations
(such as using inter-process mutex locking), options and other
peculiarities also differ.
Unfortunately I think that the docs are outdated upstream as well
(including the info pages in glibc-doc-reference), but nevertheless this
is a drawback for development and thus constitutes a reason to have a
bug filed. Maybe adding a few lines on top of each man page already
avoids some of the misleading information.
Usually I wouldn't choose severity normal for man pages, but this page
doesn't really contain anything else. Feel free to readjust :)
