Subject: manpages-dev: htonl/ntohl belong in arpa/inet.h

Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2004 21:08:02 +1000

Package: manpages-dev
Version: 1.67-1
Severity: normal

According to POSIX, these functions are declared in arpa/inet.h.  So
the manual page should document that file instead of netinet/in.h.

thanks

As suggested I have changed <netinet/in.h> to <arpa/inet.h>.

Thanks!

Fix will be in man-pages-2.12.

Cheers,

Michael
