Removed information about Section 3 subsections -- it doesn't 

reflect current, and probably never has.

Added SEE ALSO referring to intro.2.

intro \- Introduction to library functions
.SH DESCRIPTION
This chapter describes all library functions excluding the library
functions described in chapter 2, which implement system calls. There
are various function groups which can be identified by a letter which
is appended to the chapter number:
.IP (3C)
These functions, the functions from chapter 2 and from chapter 3S are
contained in the C standard library libc, which will be used by
.BR cc (1)
by default.
.IP (3S)
These functions are parts of the
.BR stdio (3)
library. They are contained in the standard C library libc.
.IP (3M)
These functions are contained in the arithmetic library libm. They are
used by the
.BR f77 (1)
FORTRAN compiler by default, but not by the
.BR cc (1)
C compiler, which needs the option \fI\-lm\fP.
.IP (3F)
These functions are part of the FORTRAN library libF77. There are no
special compiler flags needed to use these functions.
.IP (3X)
Various special libraries. The manual pages documenting their functions
specify the library names.
