2004.12.22 03:15 "tiff developer man pages and links", by Jeremy C Reed

I noticed that some symlinks or hardlinks were not made for some
manpages. Or alternatively man pages were not made using .so (to point to
other manpage).

For example, TIFFClientOpen.3 doesn't exist. It should probably be
hardlink or symlink to TIFFOpen.3. Or be an short file containing:
.so man3/TIFFOpen.3

Another example is missing TIFFGetMode.3 which should link to TIFFquery.3.

The list of missing manpages is below. (This may be wrong, because I
didn't check all and some of this may be out-of-date because was comparing
from older tiff.)

p.s. I patched the install so it wouldn't name the manpages with 3tiff
extension. This doesn't work by default on some Unixes. By the way, do any
Unix vendors or distributions ship the developer manpages with the 3tiff
extension? (If not, then why make them patch this?)
