hello, world\n
it appears that quite a number of functions in section 3 of the manual
have the following SEE ALSO section (# added where a word is missing).
$ man 3 strstr
[...]
SEE ALSO
strstr is part of the # library. The full documentation for # is
maintained as a Texinfo manual. If info and # are properly installed
at your site, the command info will give you access to the complete manual.
This is due to missing arguments in /usr/share/man/man3/*.3.gz for
the bold face macro .B:
SH "SEE ALSO"
.B strstr
is part of the
.B
library.
The full documentation for
.B
is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If
.B info
and
.B
are properly installed at your site, the command
.IP
.B info
.PP
will give you access to the complete manual.
For a list of man pages where this is the case (more than 400), just zgrep
for '^\.B $':
/usr/share/man/man3$ zgrep '^\.B $' *.gz|sort -u|wc
410 413 6752
