Title:
  The manpage of fread shows wrong parameters

Status in “manpages” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: manpages-dev

  Entering "man:fread" in Konqueror 3.5.10 on an current Kubuntu 8.04 , the output is:
  size_t fread(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmembstream);
  ...
  The function fread() reads nmemb elements of data, each size bytes long, from the stream pointed to by stream, storing them at the location given by ptr. 

  There is clearly one parameter missing in the function and the name of
  the parameters do not match to the commentary.

  Interestingly running "man fread" in a console displays the correct information:
  size_t fread(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE *stream);

  Guess this would be easy to fix.
