Hi,

I noticed a double negation in the man page of if_nameindex(3) (present in 3.45 and online version dating from 2012-12-20):

ERRORS top

if_nameindex() may fail and set errno if:

ENOBUFS
Insufficient resources unavailable.
^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^

Patch attached replacing unavailable into available.

Cheers,

Cédric
