2017-04-26Clean up the NAME section.abhinav
The entries in the NAME section of these man pages have man pages of their own, so it doesn't make sense to have their names here, instead they should be just described in the body (similar to what we do in math(3) man page). This also helps whatis(1) and apropos(1), as otherwise you would see multiple results with the same name in the output, while there is actually only one page with that name. Good example is: $ apropos -n 2 -M realloc realloc (3) general memory allocation operations realloc (3) general purpose memory allocation functions The first line is there because memory(3) man page had realloc in its NAME section. This commit will fix this issue. ok wiz@

2009-05-01Add versions of stpcpy(3), stpncpy(3), strnlen(3), all from FreeBSD.perry
These are defined in the latest POSIX Also make related updates to documentation, mostly from FreeBSD, though I cleaned a few other things up along the way. Bump shlib_version. We are still missing strcoll_l, strerror_l, strsignal, strxfrm_l to be POSIX conformant.
