I haven't changed this -- I think that the fact that wait4(2) references
getrusage(2) is enough.
Also
getrusage(2) should point to clock(3) and clock_gettime(3)
Why?
I have made this change.
Also:
Also clock(3) should point to the clock_ man pages
I've made this change.
Because those are alternative ways to get to accounting data. I think if
somebody knows the traditional interface like wait3(2) and time(1) she might
want to know about the other posix possibilities to get to that data (not
after the fact). At least I had this situation that I was looking up time
and its background and did not get a pointer to the clock_ familiy.
Well, in clock(3) and getrusage(2) you do now. As noted above, I think the
existing reference to getrusage(2) in wait4(2) suffices (otherwise the SEE
ALSO list has the potential to expand to include every age that is even
vaguely related to a topic, which renders it useless).
The changes are made in man-pages-3.09.
Cheers,
Michael
