Subject: readdir(3) should document struct dirent
Package: manpages
Version: 1.5-1
The manpage readdir(3) (/usr/man/man3/readdir.3) doesn't include a
definition of struct dirent. It is usual for manpages which document
functions taking or returning structures to document those structures.
readdir(3) should show what a struct dirent looks like and should give
the semantics of the fields.
Ian.
