Hello,
It seems that the manual page of aio_fsync is missing, at least in
FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE. I have some questions regarding this:
1. Is there somebody working on a man page for aio_fsync?
2. Is there a list of missing manual pages?
3. What is the current status of POSIX and Unix Specification? Is
there any agreement with IEEE or Open Group allowing to cut-and-paste
from, say, http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/aio_fsync.html?
The way open source usually works is, it takes longer for someone to write these questions and wait for a response, than it does to just get your sleeves rolled up and run in, guns blazing, and write the man page.
Of course then it's easy to waste time doing something someone already did, but that way you get experience doing it, that is after all how open source works.
They ain't exactly difficult to write. Doesn't really matter what you do, as long as you do something.... and I myself do well to remember the How It Works(tm) formula from time to time.
I believe there is such an agreement but you need to check with others or use the handy CVSweb commit history(tm) for other pages e.g. clock_gettime to check what you can and cannot lift.
cheers
