Package: ghc-doc
Version: 7.6.3-20
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm reading though Real World Haskell and playing with some example code from
Chapter 7: I/O. The code uses openTempFile to begin operating on temporary
files. Though when I go to look for documentation for this function in GHC's
html library reference, I see nothing in

/usr/share/doc/ghc-doc/html/libraries/haskell2010-1.1.1.0/System-IO.html

relating to openTempFile.

openTempFile is however provided by System.IO:

Prelude> :m +System.IO
Prelude System.IO> :t openTempFile
openTempFile :: FilePath -> String -> IO (FilePath, Handle)
