>Description:
There seems to be a typo/bug in "pthread_cond" manual page: the sentence ``The difference between pthread_cond_broadcast() and pthread_cond_signal() is that the former unblocks all threads waiting for the condition variable, whereas the latter blocks only one waiting thread.'' should in my opinion read ``The difference between pthread_cond_broadcast() and pthread_cond_signal() is that the former unblocks all threads waiting for the condition variable, whereas the latter unblocks only one waiting thread.'' ("blocks" vs. "unblocks").
>How-To-Repeat:
man 3 pthread_cond
read the 4th paragraph of description
>Fix:
diff --git a/lib/libpthread/pthread_cond.3 b/lib/libpthread/pthread_cond.3
