It should be in the man pages. I'll file a bug to get this fixed.

There are already bugs tracking the documentation issues; no need to file duplicates. Note that the people who deal with the manual pages, and the people who deal with the ADC site are not the same people.


In general, if you see a __DARWIN_ALIAS() appended to the prototype for a function, it will behave conformingly when you define _XOPEN_SOURCE, _POSIX_C_SOURCE or _APPLE_C_SOURCE.

The latter can be used if you want non-POSIX routines available, but want conforming behavior of things like pthread_cancel().

I didn't fully state this out because I know that _APPLE_C_SOURCE will be changing names at some point in the future, and it's actually better for code portability to not accidently depend on an Apple- specific (or other vendor-specific) API, so kicking this stuff out of the namespace tends to result in the cleanest, most portable code.
