Package: manpages
Version: 1.5-1

The manpages opendir(3), readdir(3), closedir(3) and getdirentries(3)
mention `struct dirent', but do not define the fields it contains.

They (readdir, probably) should IMO contain a relevant extract from
<linux/dirent.h>, and define the meanings of the fields.

Ian.
