>Description:
	I wanted to look at the man page for the function for
	returning the contents of a symlink (readlink), but
	couldn't remember "readlink", so I looked at the
	symlink man page's xrefs, and was surprised to not see
	it listed.  Eventually, I remembered readlink on my own.
>How-To-Repeat:
	man symlink, see no xref to readlink.  man readlink, and
	see xref to symlink.
>Fix:
	I don't know what order the xrefs should be in, but
	I'd guess the appropriate patch for /usr/src/lib/libc/sys/symlink.2
	would be along the lines of:
--- symlink.2   Fri Mar 21 21:53:10 1997
+++ symlink.2.new       Fri Mar 21 21:53:49 1997
