getifaddrs.3: ATTRIBUTES: Note functions that are thread-safe
...
After research, We think getifaddrs() and freeifaddrs() are not
thread-safe. But, there is not markings of getifaddrs() and
freeifaddrs() in glibc document.
- getifaddrs: MT-Safe
- freeifaddrs: MT-Safe

gethostbyname.3: Remove mention of IPv6 addresses, which are not supported
...
As reported by Laszlo Ersek:
gethostbyname(3) fails to resolve the IPv6 address "::1",
but the manual page says: "If name is an IPv4 or IPv6 address,
no lookup is performed and gethostbyname() simply copies name
into the h_name field [...]".
Debian bug report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=455762
glibc bug report:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5479
SUSv3 link for gethostbyname(3):
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/functions/gethostbyname.html
It seems that the glibc behavior is conformant, and the manual
page is in error.
