Subject: Confusing portability statements in libc reference?

Hello.

Yesterday I looked at this info page:

info libc alpha sigaction

The portability is shown as:

not ANSI, POSIX

My first thought was that this was neither ANSI nor POSIX, but it is
POSIX. This could be confusing. I think that the portability info produced
should be either:

1. sorted to group all nots onto one line & all "yes" cases on another
line;
2. split across multiple lines (one case/lines);
3. separated by semi-colons.

Could anyone else be confused by this, or is it just me? ;)

Bye,
