            Bug ID: 280078
           Summary: man 3 hexdump does not state -lutil

Created attachment 251821

patch to fix this.

The manpage for hexdump does not state that -lutil is the library.  Compare,
say, the man pages for 2 open or 3 abs --- they specify -lc or libc even though
that is standard.  In this case, it's more incidious because I required to
search the libraries with nm to find the appropriate library to include.

Now I also count 43 library man pages that do not contain the keyword LIBRARY:
