The same deficiency exists for: PTHREAD_COND_INIT(3) no xref to PTHREAD_CONDATTR(3) PTHREAD_CONDATTR(3) lacks definitions PTHREAD_CREATE(3) has no xref to PTHREAD_ATTR(3) PTHREAD_ATTR(3) lacks definitions. >How-To-Repeat: man pthread... >Fix: add more docco? UTSL? I may get to this eventually, but I'm hoping some brave and helpful sole will get to it first. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
