Re: man 3 switch

Once upon a time, Frank Cox <theatre@xxxxxxxxxxx> said:
I expected to see a write-up on the C switch statement. Similar to what I see
with "man 3 strlen" and the like.

Your statement indicates that keywords are not included in "man 3", so
apparently that's why it's not there.

It seems an odd choice to make, to cover the standard library and not the
keywords.

Functions in libraries are documented, not language syntax itself. I
suppose somebody could write a man page for cc that documents syntax,
but I've never seen a Unix that does that for C.

Would you expect to see individual man pages for "if", "?:", "void",
etc.?
