NAME

       missing - missing manual pages

DESCRIPTION

This manual page intends to document which manual pages are missing in various sections. Bug reports
against the package manpages-dev or manpages were opened for all of them through the Debian Bug Tracking
System (BTS). Some of these bug reports were reported upstream while some weren't. Upstream, however,
is not able to create arbitrary manpages without additional information and additional spare time.
Hence, it's completely useless to simply report them upstream.

Manpages represent an important means of documentation which can easily be read and converted into
various formats. They are very helpful for checking how things work, rather than for a tutorial. If you
notice that more pages are missing, please try to find additional information and report it as wishlist
bug against this package.

If you are confident with the issue, please write up a preliminary manpage and attach it to the bug
report. It doesn't matter if your English is bad or if you mixed up markup, as long as the content can
be used as source for a new manpage. A detailed documentation on how to write manpages is available in
man(7).

When writing manual pages please ensure that they are conforming with The Single UNIX Specification (see
below). Linux ought to be conforming to this specification. Differences need to be documented, in
additional sections, though.

MISSING PAGES

       The following is a list of missing pages sorted by section and bug number.  If you can contribute content
       or even a manual page, please send a mail to nnnnn@bugs.debian.org where nnnnn refers to the  bug  number
       from below.

   Section 9 - Kernel routines
       Bug#102724
              Mandrake  seems to deliver section 9 manual pages, though their source is obscure and they do seem
              to be out-dated.  Nevertheless, some section 9 manpages would be nice, indeed.

              ksoftirqd(9) - software handling of incoming IRQs
              kswapd(9) - kernel swap daemon thread
              kupdated(9) - flush the journal
              scsi_eh(9) - kernel SCSI error handler thread
