But dbopen() is not in `The Single UNIX Specification' (somewhere under http://www.opengroup.org/) and is not included in Solaris; the dbm_* functions are. Since legacy and `portable' code calls the dbm_* functions directly, FreeBSD should document these functions. I assume the best place for dbm_* man pages is the /usr/src/lib/libc/db/man directory? tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
