I'd like to nominate the following man pages for duplication into section
9f (kernel functions):
bcmp, bcopy, bzero
memcpy
printf, vprintf (I'me sure there are some differences)
putc
free
index, rindex
inet_ntoa
qsort
random, srandom
strcat (need to remove strncat or add it to the kernel*)
strcmp, strncmp
strcpy, strncpy
strlen
...just to start the man9 section off. Comments ?
* - there's a noticable lack of the *nprintf functions from the kernel.
Given the number of buffer overflow problems and the trend towards their
use, shouldn't things like strncat & friends be put in the kernel too ?
