Subject: struct dirent is not documented in opendir/readdir/closedir

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.
