Description:
Latest manual reffers about 'net.c'.

23.8.4.2 Writing C API Threaded Client Programs

The client library is almost thread-safe. The biggest problem is that the subroutines in net.c that read from sockets are not interrupt-safe. 

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/c-api-threaded-clients.html

But there is only in MySQL 3.23.x source code.

[root@meiji mysql-3.23.58]# find ./ -name net.c
./libmysql_r/net.c
./libmysql/net.c

There is no net.c  in MySQL 4.0 or later
[root@meiji mysql-4.0.30]# find ./ -name net.c
[root@meiji mysql-4.0.30]#

net.c in 3.23 has these functions as belows.

my_net_init
net_end
net_clear
net_flush
my_(net|real)_(read|write)
my_net_skip_rest

How to repeat:
See, 3.23, 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1, 5.5, 5.6 source codes & documents.

We can get old source codes (GPL) easily from this site (From 3.23 to 5.1)

Suggested fix:
Change net.c to proper source file name in latest document.
