[Bug 1075567] [NEW] Missing pthread related man pages

[Stephen Baynes]

Public bug reported:

man pthreads says:
SEE ALSO
       clone(2), futex(2), gettid(2), proc(5), futex(7), sigevent(7),
       signal(7),
       and various Pthreads manual pages, for example: pthread_attr_init(3),
       pthread_atfork(3), pthread_cancel(3), pthread_cleanup_push(3),
       pthread_cond_signal(3), pthread_cond_wait(3), pthread_create(3),
       pthread_detach(3), pthread_equal(3), pthread_exit(3),
       pthread_key_create(3), pthread_kill(3), pthread_mutex_lock(3),
       pthread_mutex_unlock(3), pthread_once(3), pthread_setcancelstate(3),
       pthread_setcanceltype(3), pthread_setspecific(3), pthread_sigmask(3),
       pthread_sigqueue(3), and pthread_testcancel(3)

However many of these don't exist. For example:

b:~:504$ man pthread_once
No manual entry for pthread_once
b:~:502$ man pthread_mutex_lock
No manual entry for pthread_mutex_lock
b:~:503$ man pthread_mutex_unlock
No manual entry for pthread_mutex_unlock
b:~:508$ man pthread_setspecific
No manual entry for pthread_setspecific
b:~:513$ man pthread_atfork
No manual entry for pthread_atfork
b:~:516$ man pthread_cond_signal
No manual entry for pthread_cond_signal
b:~:517$ man pthread_cond_wait
No manual entry for pthread_cond_wait


Also though not directly refereneced from there
b:~:520$ man pthread_mutex_init
No manual entry for pthread_mutex_init

Which exists in other places - eg:
http://linux.die.net/man/3/pthread_mutex_lock
