why no man page for pthread_create ?

It seems like no man pages for posix thread functions.

I go to google and get the description for those undocumented functions.

Is there any more convenient way to spot them?

The man pages surely exist. In Debian, they are in the package 'glibc-doc'.

I agree, they also exist on Suse, so maybe you haven't installed the docs?

I had the same problem when I upgraded to Slackware 12.0. They're there somewhere, but man doesn't seem to find them. Rather than figure it out I just downloaded a pthread reference. They actually used to be in info libc, but don't seem to be there anymore, either.

I ever thought i had installed glibc-doc, 'cos i can man other functions.

I try : apt-get install glibc-doc on my system (Debian Etch). as rupertwh mentioned.

That's OK now !
