>Description:

The manualpage for gethostbyname contains a reference to 'libc(3)'.  We do
not have a seperate manualpage for libc, only intro(3). The reference should
be changed to point to that manualpage. The manualpages for endhostent(3),
gethostbyaddr(3), gethostbyname2(3), gethostent(3), herror(3), hstrerror(3)
and sethostent(3) are hard links to gethostbyname(3) and show the same
problem.

A patch to that effect has been included.
