>Description:
The resolver library routine called res_findzonecut2 which is part
of libc isn't documented on any man page... at least none that I've
found. But this is a useful function, and should have a man page.
>How-To-Repeat:
man res_findzonecut2
man res_findzonecut
man 3 resolver
(The first two commands above just produce errors. The third shows
that the man page which documents all of the other res_* resolver
library routines fails to even mention res_findzonecut.
>Fix:
The man page for resolver(3) should be enhanced so as to also
document res_findzonecut2.
Depending on how the folks at IBM feel about it, you could probably
just snatch most of the verbage necessary to document this function
from the following URL:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/index.jsp?topic=/apis/resfindzonecut.htm
...where IBM seems to have already done a pretty Nice Job of documenting
the original res_findzonecut function. Note however that in the
res_findzonecut2 function, the 7th parameter has type
(union res_sockaddr_union *) rather than type (struct in_addr *) as
for the original function, res_findzonecut.
