Erik Heckers fixed bug #493 Searching the installed man pages for SDL functions fails, e.g. man -k SDL_ |grep Video After investigating this I found that "makewhatis", the tool that generates the "whatis" database, reads the SDL_* man pages, but doesn't produce entries in the "whatis" database for the SDL_* man pages. After some more debugging I found the reason is a missing space. After editing SDL_Init.3(.gz) and replacing SDL_Init\- Initializes SDL with SDL_Init \- Initializes SDL everything works fine. After running "makewhatis" I can successfully do a man -k SDL_ and SDL_Init is listed in the output.

>Description</H2
><P
>On hardware that supports double-buffering, this function sets up a flip
and returns.  The hardware will wait for vertical retrace, and then swap
video buffers before the next video surface blit or lock will return.
On hardware that doesn't support double-buffering, this is equivalent
to calling <A

>SDL_UpdateRect</A
><TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>(screen, 0, 0, 0, 0)</I
></TT
></P
><P
>The <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SDL_DOUBLEBUF</TT
> flag must have been passed to 
<A
HREF="sdlsetvideomode.html"
>SDL_SetVideoMode</A
>,
 when
setting the video mode for this function to perform hardware flipping.</P
