            Bug ID: 252858
           Summary: calloc manual page has become useless
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Manual Pages
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: benkasminbullock@gmail.com
                CC: doc@FreeBSD.org

The manual page for calloc and friends spends lots of time blathering on ab=
out
how great jemalloc is and very little time actually documenting what calloc
does. For example, it does not actually say what the return value of calloc
might be if given arguments of zero.

The old manual pages for calloc and malloc on FreeBSD were quite good, yet =
they
have been replaced with the Jason Evans advertising in the guise of a manual
page.

Please either make Jason Evans at least document what calloc does or replace
the current jemalloc drivel with the proper documentation that used to exis=
t.
