Package: glibc-doc Version: 2.7-6 Severity: normal The man pages are LinuxThreads-specific, even though the default implementation of pthreads is NPTL nowadays. Some library calls such as pthread_mutexattr_setpshared are missing, and some of the limitations (such as using inter-process mutex locking), options and other peculiarities also differ.
Unfortunately I think that the docs are outdated upstream as well (including the info pages in glibc-doc-reference), but nevertheless this is a drawback for development and thus constitutes a reason to have a bug filed. Maybe adding a few lines on top of each man page already avoids some of the misleading information. Usually I wouldn't choose severity normal for man pages, but this page doesn't really contain anything else.
