Probably not because it is of very limited usefulness.  It's not
used by device drivers, only in fork1(), exec(), and exit1().  Thus,
the same set of people who would be using these functions would
already need to be fairly intimate with the code.

An example of a more widely used API that needs a manpage are
the EVENTHANDLER() macros.  If you want a longer list of useful
but MIA section 9 manpages, I'm sure bde@ can be of assistance
