2020-02-08T01:09:57+00:00

Starting from "Combined Table of Contents" in Doug McIlroy's "A Research UNIX Reader" a table of which edition manuals appeared in.

Ingo points out there are cases where something is included but not documented until a later release. bcd(6) v6 v7 printf(3) v2 v4 abort(3) v5 v6 system(3) v6 v7 fmod(3) v5 v6 ok schwarze@

void return types 'return no value'. This is obvious and therefore unneccessary to mention. We spare rewind(3)'s sentence because espie@ pointed out that it's a warning - the function masks a potential error. This commit also adds a sentence to X509_free clarifying that it's NULL-safe.
