Package: glibc-doc
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-21
Severity: normal

In "(libc)Socket-Level Options", SO_RCVBUF is documented as having a
type "size_t".  In Linux, it is of type "int".  The man page socket(7)
does not say what type it is.  The same goes for SO_SNDBUF.

This is mostly a problem on 64-bit architechtures where size_t is not an
int.  If SO_RCVBUF should be size_t, then this is a Linux bug and this
bug should be reassigned.
