Bug #13183
closedSome man pages add a space next to an underscore
100%
Description
Some man pages have an errant space next to an underscore, where the underscore is in the middle of a function name or a type.
I think this is a complete list:
usr/src/man/man9f/ddi_prop_create.9f 'ddi_prop_ undefine'
usr/src/man/man9f/ldi_open_by_dev.9f 'cred_ t'
usr/src/man/man3dat/dat_ep_create_with_srq.3dat
'recv_evd_ handle'
'DAT_CONNECTION_ EVENT_NON_PEER_REJECTED'
'DAT_INVALID_ PARAMETER'
usr/src/man/man3dat/dat_lmr_sync_rdma_write.3dat 'local_ segments'
usr/src/man/man3nsl/rpc_gss_getcred.3nsl 'rpc_gss_rawcred_ t'
usr/src/man/man1/pax.1 'c_ mode'
usr/src/man/man3lib/libscf.3lib
'scf_tmpl_value_count_range_ constraints'
'scf_tmpl_value_int_range_ constraints'
'scf_transaction_property_change_ type'
usr/src/man/man3head/stdint.h
'int_least32 t' 'uint least16_t' 'uint_fastN_ t'
usr/src/man/man3head/fenv.h 'FENV_ ACCESS'
usr/src/man/man3head/wctype.h 'wchar t'
usr/src/man/man3head/termios.h.3head 'speed t'

This seems to be missing:
usr/src/man/man4/mnttab.4 'MNTIOC_ ioctl'

That's actually correct, although it's possible that it could be clearer. It means 'one of the ioctls starting with MNTIOC_'. That sort of pattern is used in a number of other man pages to describe a set of ioctls or variable names with the same prefix.

Tested by quickly eyeballing the changes using the man utility.

Yes, I see it now. Thanks!
