>Description:
  man (5) dir  does not list   "u_int8_t  d_type"   as a member of struct dirent. As this is an essential member of the structure, excluding it may result in confusion to the reader.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
   Include entry for d_type in the struct dirent { ... } definition in man (5) dir.
