for the real world i would say that long int == long but for the same reason
i would say what the include says and stay away from discussions.
jm2c,
wh
I think that the man-pages don't need to follow other projects'
inconsistencies. 'long int' == 'long', so I think it's better to be
consistent here and hope that the other projects do that too.
A newbie may see 'long int' and 'long' used differently in the man-pages
and wonder that there might be a good reason for that to happen, and
won't understand why.
So I stand by this patch.
Cheers,
Alex
