Always wondered why there's non-Linux kernel information in the Linux man pages. I mentioned this to Greg Kroah-Hartman when he did his second AMA on reddit, hoping he would comment on it. https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/fx5e4v/im_greg_kroahhartman_linux_kernel_developer_ama/fn3rpht/ https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/fx5e4v/im_greg_kroah... > So we rely on different libc projects to provide this, and work with them when needed. > This ends up being more flexible as there are different needs from a libc, and for us to "pick one" wouldn't always be fair. I think putting libc information in the Linux man page is effectively "picking one". The init section of the manual also contains systemd information, giving the impression it's the "official" init. I expected to read about the ways the Linux kernel treats PID 1 specially but got the systemd manual instead.
