Hello Michael,

Here is a bigger patchset documenting a few types + a few fixes.

Sorry -- I misspoke. This pach doesn't apply. It wasn't obvious why.

But, yes, I think adding a description would be good.

Thanks,

I added that comment to every type that lacks a description so that we 
can see them easier.  In other types I embedded that comment in the 
patch with the documentation, but in this case, the type was already 
documented, so I had to add an extra commit.

Cheers,

Alex

Thanks, Alex. Patch applied. I added a line re description, 
deferring to sigevent(7).

Cheers,

I think that I won't apply this, since it will hide sigevent(7).
Okay?

Fine,  sigevent(7) already documents the type, so it's perfect.  The 
type will be documented in system_data_types.7 anyway, so no problem.

I guess you'll add a reference to system_data_types(7) in sigevent(7), 
right?

Thanks,

Alex

Do you think it's needed? I"m not so sure...

Not sure.

There are a few things that are documented in system_data_types but not 
in sigevent(7), but not too many.

For the moment, I think the reference probably isn't needed.

Long day for both of us, and I think the line above shows that :-).

I'm not applying this patch (or the corresponding link patch)... 

For "description" (in the next iteration of this patch),
I think you should defer to sigaction(2).

Thanks

Some minor white space issues in the above structure (blank lines,
misaligned comments); I fixed them.

Generally, I think we always should have a description, even if 
very short. I added one, mainly in the form of a reference to
sigaction(2).
