Package: portreserve
Version: 0.0.4-1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Javier,
I think it's a good idea to
s/bindresvport()/bindresvport(3)/
in the package description. It would indicate to the readers that the
function is part of the C standard library.
And man bindresvport on my Squeeze system explained:
bindresvport() is used to bind a socket descriptor to a
privileged anony‐
mous IP port, that is, a port number arbitrarily selected from
the range
512 to 1023.
The manpage is dated 2008-12-03. So i suggest
s/600/512/
as well. For your convenience I copied the modified version into this mail.
Description: Port reservation program
The portreserve program aims to help services with well-known ports
that lie in the bindresvport(3) range (currently 512-1023).
It prevents programs requesting a port to the libc from occupying
a real service's port by occupying it itself, until the real service
tells it to release the port (generally in its init script).
Kind regards,
Martin
