Bug#525546: libxi-dev: manpage bugs in XInput.h related manpages
Package: libxi-dev
Version: 2:1.1.4-1
Severity: minor
XInput related manpages have same inaccuraties in their SYNTAX lines:
XDeviceBell.3.gz:
feedbackclass, feedbackid and percent are numbers and not pointers
as claimed by the SYNTAX line.
XQueryDeviceState.3.gz:
as the manpage correctly states, it returns an XDeviceState.
But the prototype in the SYNTAX header lists int.
XGetDeviceControl.3.gz:
controlType is listed as pointer, put is int.
XSelectExtensionEvent.3.gz:
other way around, last four arguments of XGetSelectedExtensionEvents
all miss an "*". (and both are old K&R syntax, as some others are)
XChangeDeviceDontPropagateList.3.gz:
count is listed as pointer but should not.
Hochachtungsvoll,
Bernhard R. Link
