"man-refs.ent" contains a lot of entities, but a lot of entites are missing, especially for chapter 4 (kernel interfaces). The current policy for man-refs.ent seems to be "only one step at a time". If you need an additional entity, you'll have to add it to man-refs.ent (or find somebody who can add it for you). I'd like to change that, unless there's a good reason to keep this policy. In other words, I want to submit a patch that adds entities for *all* manpages found on an up-to-date current. The list of entites will be created by a perl script. I plan to use this script about once a week to keep up with the developments in currents. Comments? /s/Udo -- >Every program evolves until it is capable of sending email.
