Subject: manpages: error and typo in socket(7)

Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 17:33:42 +0200

Package: manpages
Version: 1.67-1
Severity: minor

   Hey,

 There is an error in socket(7), in the description of the SO_REUSEADDR
 socket option: it expects an integer boolean flag which is not
 documented.

 Also, there are two small typos is the SO_KEEPALIVE socket option and
 in the FIOASYNC ioctl:
 "Expects a integer boolean flag." (Should be "an".)
 "Argument is a integer boolean flag." (Should be "an".)

   Regards,

Can you provide a proof for that?

This seems to be fixed upstream already.

 Attached file exposes what I meant with "expects an integer boolean
 flag".  I'm sorry if I ask for the documentation of something obvious.

No, I agree, the "integer boolean flag" should be documented,
preferably by an example, and probably in setsockopt.2.
