errno is a relevant link IMHO. Otherwise we have to click out, navigate
to
the page manually.

Okay. I'll add that.

Thanks,

Hi


Will this errno link be on all "SEE ALSO"?

I checked two, but these did not have the link:

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/close.2.html

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/fopen.3.html

Hi Jon,

The rendering changes will come out with the 3.41 release. The pages
won't change (there's no point in adding "errno" to the SEE ALSO of
every page), but the html rendering will link errno to errno(3).

Cheers,

Michael
