Subject: manpages-dev: dn_expand incorrect prototype in manpage

Date: Thu, 06 Nov 2008 15:13:23 +0200

Package: manpages-dev
Version: 3.07-1
Severity: normal


Prototype in manpage:
       int dn_expand(unsigned char *msg, unsigned char *eomorig,
	      unsigned char *comp_dn, unsigned char *exp_dn,
	      int length);

But headers say:
int		dn_expand (const u_char *, const u_char *, const u_char *,
			   char *, int) __THROW;

The 4th argument is unsigned char* according to the manpage, but in the headers
it is not. This causes warnings with gcc -Wall.

Please fix either the manpage or the headers.

A man-pages fix seems appropriate.

The prototype in the headers is as you show at least as far back as
glibc 2.0, and also the same in the headers on all other of the
several Unix systems that I checked.

I changed the page for man-pages-3.13.

Thanks for your report Török.

Cheers,

Michael
