Subject: manpages-dev: Incorrect return type in posix_openpt(3)
Package: manpages-dev
Version: 2.39-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The manual page for posix_openpt reads:

       char *posix_openpt(int flags);

and it should be:

       int posix_openpt(int flags);

As is inferred from the same manpage and which is the definition from
SUSv6 and stdlib.h.

Hey -- you only need to submit the bug once! (duplicates 400973, 400979).

Anyway -- thanks for reporting this.  I've fixed in the upstream
man-pages-2.44.

Cheers,

Michael
