Reference Manual Reorganization

The section of the SunOS Reference Manual that describes the C library functions (but does not include the system calls) now contains six books instead of one. These books are:

• Library Interfaces and Headers

• Basic Library Functions

• Networking Library Functions

• Threads and Realtime Library Functions

• Extended Library Functions

• Curses Library Functions

In addition, many of the man page suffixes have been changed to reflect the library that contains the function (for example, all man pages describing functions contained in libnsl now have the suffix .3NSL).

For more information, see the Intro(1) man page and About Solaris 8 Documentation.
