[Bug 80541] man pages for unimplemented functions provoke name clash

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80541

--- Comment #3 from Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> ---

Summary: These functions don't exist in glibc, aren't specified in C99 or C11
(those standards merely reserve the names for future use), cause package
conflicts for libcerf (http://apps.jcns.fz-juelich.de/doku/sc/libcerf), which
does provide implementations and man-pages for these functions, and cause
confusion for readers who (not looking too closely at the page) wonder where
the glibc implementation is.

I've removed the cerf(3) and its links from man-pages. Sorry for the slow
follow up.
