“Multipost” display navigation

Hello,

In the default WordPress theme, for multipost navigation, I see the following code:

<div class="navigation">
    <div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
    <div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
</div>

I was trying to find out more information about the 2 functions above and found that the codex page was either missing or incomplete.

After a search on this forum, I found that it was suggested to use posts_nav_link instead.

So, I’m curious about the status of the first 2 functions.

Can I/someone update the codex page, reflecting that posts_nav_link should be used instead?
