Package: manpages-dev
Version: 3.21-1
Severity: normal

The getpagesize() manpage contains this:
"The function getpagesize() returns the number of bytes in a page, where a 
"page" is the thing used where it says in the description of mmap(2) that files 
are mapped in page-
sized units."

Defining "page" to be a "thing used where it says" makes this sentence
funny. Unless that was the intention I suggest to change the wording.

Suggestion:
The function getpagesize() returns the number of bytes in a memory page, where
"page" is a fixed-length block, the unit for memory allocation and file
mapping performed by mmap(2). The offset argument to mmap(2) must be a multiple
of page size."
