Could you please use .B and/or .BR instead of inline \fB...\fP?

See this extract from man-pages(7):

        Any  reference  to  the  subject of the current manual page
        should be written with the name in bold followed by a  pair
        of parentheses in Roman (normal) font.  For example, in the
        fcntl(2) man page, references to the subject  of  the  page
        would  be  written as: fcntl().  The preferred way to write
        this in the source file is:

            .BR fcntl ()

        (Using this format, rather than the  use  of  "\fB...\fP()"
        makes  it  easier to write tools that parse man page source
        files.)


Thanks,

Alex
