These manual pages recently (about 3 meeks ago) migrated from the
upstream keyutils project to the upstream man-pages project. See
http://linux-man-pages.blogspot.de/2017/03/man-pages-410-is-released.html
. They have been removed in the upstream keyutils project in its
latest release 9which happene
t; explicit_bzero() first appeared in glibc 2.25.

I think so.

Is there already something in Section 9 on
ilesystems(5) and

Actually, other operating systems also seemed to come to the same
conclusion. For FreeBSD, I see the following in Section 5:
$ ls -1 *fs.5
autofs.5
devfs.5
ext2fs.5
fdescfs.5
fs.5
linprocfs.5
linsysfs.5
mqueuefs.5
msdosfs.5
nandfs.5
nullfs.5
procfs.5

Not sure where this idea originates. There is no Section 9 on Linux.
And there's certainly precedent for section 5 pages on filesystems.
For example, among others, we have ext4(5), btrfs(5), and nfs(5).
I'm not sure what the best path forward here is.

attr}() and pthread_mutex{,attr}() pages to be
written before the glibc pages can mostly be dispensed with. Probably
that won't happen this side of Christmas (many other things to do).

Just for debian's info: you definitely want the man-pages page. The
pthreads pages that I have been recently adding to man-pages are far
better than the ancient glibc pages.

These pages supercede and provide a superset of the information
in the glibc (3thr) "semaphores(3)" manual page.
(Obviously, "supercede" is my point of view. My pages
do contain more, and more up to date, info. I wish glibc
could decide on just info or just man p
