Linux man pages 6.17 released

Version 6.17 of the Linuxmanual-page collection has been released. Along with a long list ofupdates to the man pages themselves, it includes some new utility programsof interest.

The grepc(1) program is something that originated in this project,as it helped me find code quickly in glibc and the Linux kernel.However, I've found it incredibly useful outside of this project.I'll take some space to announce it, as it's much more than just atool for writing manual pages, and I expect it to be useful to most--if not all-- C programmers.

It is a command-line tool that finds C source code (for example, afunction definition) in arbitrary projects. It doesn't use anyindexing mechanism (unlike ctags and similar tools). This meansthat it can be used right after cloning some repository, withouthaving to first generate an index.
