Notes from Bert Hubert:
Recently PowerDNS needed to support the getting of the
original destination address of packets received on ::.
Following the advice in ipv6(7) generated an error on
setsockopt().
Some googling confirmed that setsockopt() with
IPV6_PKTINFO indeed does not work, but we found that
IPV6_RECVPKTINFO did.
Our experiences are detailed in
http://bert-hubert.blogspot.nl/2012/10/on-binding-datagram-udp-sockets-to-any.html
Please find attached a quite naive patch to ipv6.7 that at
least fixes 'my' problem, but does not document if
IPV6_PKTINFO ever worked as a flag. It does document that
IPV6_RECVPKTINFO is available since 2.6.13.
Please let me know if this patch is acceptable, or if you
want me to dig deeper into the IPV6_PKTINFO situation.
Notes from mtk:
Drop mention of IPV6_PKTINFO; that's IPV6_2292PKTINFO nowadays
(and needs to be documented). And, confusingly, there's nowadays
an IPV6_PKTINFO that is a quite different thig.
With kernel commit 333fad5364d6b457c8d837f7d05802d2aaf8a961
(Sep 2005) PV6_PKTINFO disappeared from the
getsockopt/setsockopt API, and IPV6_2292PKTINFO took its place.
Meanwhile, IPV6_RECVPKTINFO was added.
Then kernel commit b24a2516d10751d7ed5afb58420df25370c9dffb
(Dec 2008) added IPV6_PKTINFO back to the
getsockopt/getsockopt API, but with what looks to be a
rather different meaning (it takes a 'struct in6_pktinfo'
as the third arg).
This seems consistent (if confusing) with the RFCs:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2292.txthttp://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3542.txt (obsoletes 2292)
Both of those RFCs define an IPV6_PKTINO sockopt, but the
former takes an int arg, and the latter takes a
'struct in6_pktinfo'.
So, my summary of your patch is that it's correct. (But I think
that IPV6_RECVPKTINFO is present since 2.6.14, not 2.6.13.)

The line(s) in the NAME section should only use capitals
where English usage dictates that. Otherwise, use
lowercase throughout.

Existing pages variously use "userspace or "user space".
But, "userspace" is not quite an English word.
So change "userspace" to "user space" or, when used
attributively, "user-space".

<groff: iso_8859-2.7>:89: warning: can't find special character `shc'
This is the only "iso_8859-*.7" file that has this (now)
undefined character. The code in column four in "iso_8859-1.7" is
"0x2D" ("HYPHEN, MINUS SIGN" or "HYPHEN-MINUS") instead of "0xAD".
See Debian bug 156154 (or package "manpages").
There should be an explanation for this graphic character and the
code should be 0xAD in iso_8859-1.7 (as in all others), even
though "[gn]roff" does not display a "HYPHEN" in that position of
the table.
The line with "SOFT HYPHEN" gets a footnote and a short
explanation.

The syntax .UR http://example.com paired with .UE will create
links which one can interact, if the pager allows that. One
way to see the effect is ask the man(1) command to use browser
display, e.g.:
man -H man7/uri.7
("\:" is optional groff syntax to permit hyphenless line breaks.)

uri(7) documents that "Older documents suggested inserting the
prefix 'URL:' just before the URI, but this form has never
caught on." and advise to "enclosed in angle brackets" (and a
few other alternatives).
This patch removes an instance of 'URL:' from the page.
