Strange problem with man pages for Pthreads

[codingfreak]

Hi,

I am using UBUNTU 10.04 and I am facing a strange problem with man pages for pthreads.

I dont find the man page for pthread_create while I see man pages for some of the other pthread related functions. If I give man pthread_ and press tab I see the following output.

$ man pthread_
pthread_attr_getaffinity_np     pthread_getaffinity_np
pthread_attr_getguardsize         pthread_getattr_np
pthread_attr_getstack                   pthread_getconcurrency
pthread_attr_getstackaddr         pthread_getcpuclockid
pthread_attr_getstacksize          pthread_setaffinity_np
pthread_attr_setaffinity_np      pthread_setconcurrency
pthread_attr_setguardsize         pthread_setschedprio
pthread_attr_setstack                   pthread_timedjoin_np
pthread_attr_setstackaddr        pthread_tryjoin_np
pthread_attr_setstacksize         pthread_yield

So how could I install man pages for pthread_create and other ???

At present my man page version is 2.5.7.

$ man -V
man 2.5.7

I am not on ubuntu now, but this might works, "manpages-dev".

There is a bug filed on launchpad for this

You can possibly look here for help.

Is the package 'manpages-posix-dev' installed on your system?

Hmmm ... seems I dont have the 'manpages-posix-dev' package installed. After installation it solved my problem. But how could they include a small subset of pthread man pages ... and leave out the rest of them
