https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D268310 Bug ID: 268310 Summary: add sizeof(7) man page Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: jschauma@netmeister.org CC: doc@FreeBSD.org Attachment #238705 text/plain mime type: Created attachment 238705 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D238705&action= =3Dedit sizeof manual page As an operator rather than a library function or syscall, 'sizeof' does not have a manual page. Its use is however not always completely obvious and especially novice programmers misunderstand its function. Being able to ty= pe 'man sizeof' to get an explanation is a lot more convenient than having to = rely on Google->StackOverflow and hoping whatever answers one finds there is reasonable. I wrote a manual page for the 'sizeof' operator: https://github.com/jschauma/manpages/blob/main/man7/sizeof.7 (I've attached a copy of the manual page here to the bug as well.) If the FreeBSD Project sees value in this and would like to add this manual page to the base system, I'd be happy to sign over the copyright. Note: my mandoc-fu is weak, and fixes and improvements may well be necessar= y. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
