>Description:

While a man page for select() from sys/select.h exists,
the macros relating
to that function are not apropos.  Presumably because they're
macros, rather than functions, though they are publically
callable and well-used.

>How-To-Repeat:
	'man FD_SET'    - yields nothing
      'man -k FD_SET' - yields nothing
      'man select'    - as expected
      'man -k select' - as expected
>Fix:
Unknown.
