 .SH DESCRIPTION
 These macros are used to create and access control messages (also called
 ancillary data) that are not a part of the socket payload.

 Ancillary data is a sequence of
-.I struct cmsghdr
+.I cmsghdr
 structures with appended data.
-This sequence should be accessed
-using only the macros described in this manual page and never directly.
 See the specific protocol man pages for the available control message types.
 The maximum ancillary buffer size allowed per socket can be set using
 .IR /proc/sys/net/core/optmem_max ;
 see
 .BR socket (7).

+The
+.I cmsghdr

+.IP * 3
 .BR CMSG_FIRSTHDR ()
 returns a pointer to the first
 .I cmsghdr
 in the ancillary
 data buffer associated with the passed
 .IR msghdr .
-.PP
+.IP *
 .BR CMSG_NXTHDR ()
 returns the next valid
 .I cmsghdr
 after the passed
 .IR cmsghdr .
 It returns NULL when there isn't enough space left in the buffer.
-.PP
+.IP *
 .BR CMSG_ALIGN (),
 given a length, returns it including the required alignment.
 This is a
 constant expression.
-.PP
+.IP *
 .BR CMSG_SPACE ()
 returns the number of bytes an ancillary element with payload of the
 passed data length occupies.
 This is a constant expression.
-.PP
+.IP *
 .BR CMSG_DATA ()
 returns a pointer to the data portion of a
 .IR cmsghdr .
-.PP
+.IP *
 .BR CMSG_LEN ()
 returns the value to store in the
 .I cmsg_len
