    Erik Heckers fixed bug #493 · f037300c
    Sam Lantinga authored
    Searching the installed man pages for SDL functions fails, e.g.
      man -k SDL_ |grep Video
    After investigating this I found that "makewhatis", the tool that generates
    the "whatis" database, reads the SDL_* man pages, but doesn't produce
    entries in the "whatis" database for the SDL_* man pages.
    After some more debugging I found the reason is a missing space.
    After editing SDL_Init.3(.gz) and replacing
       SDL_Init\- Initializes SDL
    with
       SDL_Init \- Initializes SDL
    everything works fine.
    After running "makewhatis" I can successfully do a
       man -k SDL_
    and SDL_Init is listed in the output.

SDL_GL_GetProcAddress \- Get the address of a GL function
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBvoid *\fBSDL_GL_GetProcAddress\fP\fR(\fBconst char* proc\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Returns the address of the GL function \fBproc\fR, or \fBNULL\fR if the function is not found\&. If the GL library is loaded at runtime, with \fI\fBSDL_GL_LoadLibrary\fP\fR, then \fIall\fP GL functions must be retrieved this way\&. Usually this is used to retrieve function pointers to OpenGL extensions\&.
