Unfortunately the MDN docs are incomplete, they are missing details. I guess the problem was introduced a long time in the past, when an import from www to MDN was made.

For example, look at file nspr_types in your patch. At the bottom, in section "Status Type for Return Values", it simply says "PRStatus".

But the docs here include more information: https://www-archive.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/reference/html/prtyp
You will see information missing for each section on that page.

Thanks to bkochendorfer
who told me where to find the raw www files:

Well, to be honest, I have no intention to improve the doc itself.
I just want them to be available online which has not been the case for sometime.

But looking a bit deeper, I don't see what is missing on the imports.

For example, look at file nspr_types in your patch. At the bottom, in section "Status Type for Return Values", it simply says "PRStatus".

I think during the MDN import, the content has been split into smaller page.
For PRStatus, it is pointing to the page:
http://gecko-docs.mozilla.org-l1.s3-website.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/main/1f997d84-83bf-11ec-bf1c-0242ac110004/security/nss/nspr/reference/prstatus.html

Note that the original URL doesn't have more content:

That's fine. My point is, the MDN docs are incomplete, and I'd prefer that we rather import the documentation from www-archive.

But looking a bit deeper, I don't see what is missing on the imports.

This is your full import:
https://d2mfgivbiy2fiw.cloudfront.net/file/data/f3tiyglgas67tkloxo2b/PHID-FILE-caorl5jyazygw4uyuv3g/D137588.diff

That doesn't contain the text "Use PRPackedBool within structures where bit fields" which I found on this page:
https://www-archive.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/reference/html/prtyp

For the record:

Normally, the keywords UPGRADE_NSS_RELEASE and UPGRADE_NSPR_RELEASE are allowed only when comitting official upstream releases.

We allow these changes, because they are temporary, to simplify Sylvestre's work.

All files that are added to the security/nss and nsprpub directories (temporarily) are suposed to be moved to a different place as part of the patches in this bug.

After all patches were landed, we must verify that no (new or changed) files remain, and that using the NSS/NSPR update scripts will create the exact same state of the directories. If a difference is shown, and the differences are supposed to be kept, follow-up work will be required.

I'm attaching with additional docs that I found on https://github.com/mozilla-it/www-archive.mozilla.org and https://github.com/mdn/archived-content

Included are two training documents, that were originally .ppt files.

What happens to files that aren't linked? They cannot be opened through https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/nspr/ right?

This old page here has a table "technical notes". It would be good to copy that and link the various documents that we have in tree.
