The man pages for system calls in NSA SE Linux include pages for common system calls such as sendto(2)/sendmsg(2) because there are new functions sendto_secure(2)/sendmsg_secure(2) which are documented on the same page.
How should I handle this? Should I divert the existing files (in this case the file /usr/share/man/man2/send.2.gz) and then provide extra sym-links in my package for the new system calls? Should I install the page as sendto_secure(2) and not touch the existing page? This is easiest and avoids losing information in cases where the NSA web pages don't have the same data as the existing Debian pages. But it does give the result that when you run "man 2 sendto" you will not be informed of the existance of sendto_secure(2). Any other possibilities? -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
