 I have no idea about the usefulness of plot(3), but as for libc(3),
 i'd rather see a man page for it.  At least the ANSI standard library
 should be summarized there, perhaps also some Posix level.
 
 (I would volunteer to type the ANSI overview after the Bible, but i
 don't have a Posix.1 around.)
