setpwent(3)?

[Math Student from Hell]

On our 4.2BSD system, the man page for the <pwd.h> functions lists a
function called 'setpwent'.  This is what it has to say:

>GETPWENT(3)            C LIBRARY FUNCTIONS            GETPWENT(3)
>
>
>
>NAME
>     getpwent, getpwuid, getpwnam, setpwent, endpwent, setpwfile,
>     fgetpwent - get password file entry
>
> [omitted definitions for other <pwd.h> files]
>
>     int setpwent()
>

And that is the last word.  No definition or description.

What does this function do?  Is it really there, or is it a fib?
Is there a mistake in the man pages?
