Subject: bug in man netdevice?

Hello

struct ifreq {
char ifr_name[IFNAMSIZ];/* Interface name */
union {
struct sockaddrifr_addr;
struct sockaddrifr_dstaddr;
struct sockaddrifr_broadaddr;
struct sockaddrifr_netmask;
struct sockaddrifr_hwaddr;

This looks like spaces forgotten between "sockaddr" and ifr_something.
Is it a bug? Or is it some elaborate language construct?

This is not for l-k but for [email protected] .

And to answer your question, there is a tabs line in the source
that puts the tabs at the wrong positions. Do a
1,$s/sockaddr<tab>/sockaddr /

Thanks. Now fixed in the netdevice.7 page.
