This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the POSIX
manual pages. These pages were originally maintained by Rik Faith
and then taken over by Andries Brouwer <aeb@cwi.nl>, under permission
of IEEE Open Group.
POSIX manpages are maintained under separate 0p,1p and 3p sections, but
this convention is not conforming with FHS, so they are moved in 7, 1 and 3
respectively, with extensions 7posix, 1posix and 3posix. So you
can use
man 3 -e 3posix <function>
to access POSIX functions description instead of Linux one.
Having manpages is very important to every operating system. It is much
work to keep those documents up to date and to initially write them.
Nevertheless some folks made some of this work. Contributions are
welcome.
