pthread_create man page has gone missing

[Scott Ritchie]

This manpage used to be present, but is no longer contained in the gilbc-docs package. It is referenced by other man pages.

The function pthread_create() is missing from 'man' pages (and other
stuff related to pthread also).

Besides this, as emacs user (at least to program), I would like the
developers to consider putting this information in the Info system
instead of man, because the info is easier to access.

Thanks in advance.

Ric.

I faced the same issue ... just check for package named 'manpages-posix-dev' in Ubuntu Software Center ... In my case it is not installed after installation I am able to access the pthread_create man pages and also others.

Looks like the man pages got "lost" during the transition to eglibc.

the upstream eglibc source does ship the man pages and from eyeballing the Makefile I would think they'd be included but obviously something goes wrong along the way. This will need some further inspection.
