The .Fn function


# 100571 23-Jul-2002 rwatson

Mention SAVENAME and SAVESTART in the namei(9) operation flag description
since apparently people were missing that you aren't supposed to access
the name buffer following namei() unless you specify one of these flags.

# 79727 14-Jul-2001 schweikh

Removed whitespace at end-of-line; no content changes. I simply did
cd src/share; find man[1-9] -type f|xargs perl -pi -e 's/[ \t]+$//'

BTW, what editors are the culprits? I'm using vim and it shows
me whitespace at EOL in troff files with a thick blue block...

The LOCKPARENT flag is singular. It doesn't work causing complications
is also a singular fact.


# 54789 18-Dec-1999 eivind

Correct the documentation of LOCKPARENT - it does not reliably result in the
parent being locked, but rather plays some hide and seek (does not lock if
dvp == vp).

Also add a BUGS section noting that this is undesired behaviour.
