Summary

0000845: Two variables not included in System Interfaces

Description

The in6addr_any and in6addr_loopback variables are defined in netinet/in.h, the only other reference to either of these is in6addr_any which is referenced in Section 2.10.20, "Compatibility with IPv4".

Other variables (signgam, stderr, stdin, stdout, daylight, timezone, tzname, optarg, optind, opterr and optopt) are all documented in the System Interfaces section. In fact, the stderr, stdin and stdout variables are documented on their own System Interface page.

Is this intentional or an oversight?

Desired Action

Add in6addr_any and in6addr_loopback to the System Interfaces section, either in their own page, or on an existing page.
