NAME

       missing - missing manual pages

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page intends to document which manual pages are missing in various sections.  Bug reports against the package manpages-dev or
       manpages were opened for all of them through the Debian Bug Tracking System (BTS).  Some of these bug reports were reported upstream  while
       some  weren't.	Upstream,  however,  is  not  able  to create arbitrary manpages without additional information and additional spare time.
       Hence, it's completely useless to simply report them upstream.

       Manpages represent an important means of documentation which can easily be read and converted into various formats.  They are very  helpful
       for  checking how things work, rather than for a tutorial.  If you notice that more pages are missing, please try to find additional infor-
       mation and report it as wishlist bug against this package.

       If you are confident with the issue, please write up a preliminary manpage and attach it to the bug report.  It doesn't matter if your Eng-
       lish  is bad or if you mixed up markup, as long as the content can be used as source for a new manpage.	A detailed documentation on how to
       write manpages is available in man(7).

       When writing manual pages please ensure that they are conforming with The Single UNIX Specification (see below).  Linux ought  to  be  con-
       forming to this specification.  Differences need to be documented, in additional sections, though.

MISSING PAGES

       The  following  is  a  list of missing pages sorted by section and bug number.  If you can contribute content or even a manual page, please
       send a mail to nnnnn@bugs.debian.org where nnnnn refers to the bug number from below.

   Section 9 - Kernel routines
       Bug#102724
	      Mandrake seems to deliver section 9 manual pages, though their source is obscure and they do seem to  be	out-dated.   Nevertheless,
	      some section 9 manpages would be nice, indeed.

       Bug#179475
	      kapmd(9) - kernel APM thread

	      khubd(9) - kernel USB hub daemon thread

	      ksoftirqd(9) - software handling of incoming IRQs
	      kswapd(9) - kernel swap daemon thread
	      kupdated(9) - flush the journal
	      scsi_eh(9) - kernel SCSI error handler thread
