strcase, strncase are not defined nor in library nor in include file
string.h
but are present in libc help as functions of string.h.
in string.h are def'out:
#ifndef __STRICT_ANSI__
#ifndef _POSIX_SOURCE
but also #undef'ining them I obtain nothing.
BTW: nm -a libc says nothing about those 2 funcs.


class String is defined in _String.h as described in FAQ 8.2
but there's also strclass.h that includes it.

brk() is defined in unistd.h not in stdlib.h as stated in libc info
manuals

<PEDANTIC>
in help of _dos_findfirst() the definition of the struct find_t isn't
reported, neither it is indicated that it is defined in dos.h
</PEDANTIC>

The example is obviously wrong: the structure passed to the function is
called 'result', the structure is accessed thru 'f'.
These patches are over the info file itself: I've not help sources, so
this is
here only indicative.

Indent man and info declare that the option -[n]bbb
- --[no-]blank-lines-after-block-comments are recognized by indent.
Instead indent refuses those parameters.
It's even not well documented.

Moreover, to recompile indent I needed to change configdj.sed
modify this line to compile backup.c (diff -c produces a big file ;):

        s|@DEFS@|-DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -D_USE_LFN=1|g

this is needed for help:

        s|.texinfo|.tex|

maybe I'm missing something, but since I've used GNU unzip,
I guess I'm in a std situation.


I'm unable to understand under which conditions groff
produces and leaves in %DJDIR%\tmp temporary files.
I don't think it is the desired behaviour.

GNU indent 1.9.1
GNU troff version 1.10
GCC version 2.7.2.1
