Description Maryna Nalbandian 2018-08-02 08:35:19 UTC
In order to improve usability of packages in Fedora, project Man Page Scan was created and its task is to provide consistency of man pages (and documentation in general). The results are now available for package maintainers to fix documentation issues.

If you need to re-run the check yourself, here is the simple process of man page check:

1. Download man-page-day from:

    https://pagure.io/ManualPageScan/blob/master/f/man-page-day.sh

2. Run the script:
    $ ./man-page-day.sh glibc

Comment 2 Carlos O'Donell 2018-08-02 16:25:20 UTC
We don't ship man pages in glibc. All the glibc interfaces are covered by the texinfo manual. Many glibc interfaces are documented by the linux man pages project.
