>Description:
The directory "/emul" is not sufficiently documented. It doesn't appear in hier(7), and running "apropos emul" doesn't return anything related to binary emulation. Additionally, the compat_* man pages may be difficult to find if you only know the word "emul".

>How-To-Repeat:
$ apropos emul
$ cd /usr/share/man && grep -wr emul man*

>Fix:
create a manpage emul(7) that provides an overview of binary emulation.
