>Description:
`sigprocmask()' man page references `sigmask()' in synopsis.
>How-To-Repeat:
man sigprocmask(2)
Note odd `sigmask()' line in synopsis. `sigsetops(3)' is better suited
for `sigprocmask' and is already referenced from the manual page.
(`sigmask()' is useful for the older (& deprecated) `sigsetmask()' API).
>Fix:
Apply the following patch:
