Subject: More 3.0-current manpage oddities

Precedence: bulk


I've been digging thru manpages in 3.0-current quite a bit lately

is discussed in the man page for popen().

DESCRIPTION
     The global variables end, extext and edata correspond to the the
                                ^-- extra "x" (?)
Meanwhile I still don't understand what end, etext, and edata contain.
gdb reports end is an int function.
