Should I document the dirent64 structure in glibc?

Given that it's different from the kernel one, I think we should
document both, yes.

versions of struct dirent64 in glibc, in
glibc/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/dirent.h and glibc/bits/dirent.h,
and the latter seems irrelevant on linux systems.

Yes, I seem to have the former in the installed headers.  I don't know
why the latter exists.  I've CCed libc-help@ in case they can help.

And I'm not sure about the wording. Feel free to reword it as you see
fit.

The current patch seems reasonable.  If you add the glibc struct, I'll
add it, and later maybe I'll tweak that page to look more like other
pages.


Have a lovely day!
Alex
