mtk
- New by mtk
+ Noted the PID caching behaviour of NPTL's getpid()
+ wrapper under BUGS.
+
+ Added futex(2), set_thread_area(2), set_tid_address(2),
+ tkill(2) under SEE ALSO.
+
+epoll_ctl.2
+epoll_create.2
+ Marko Kohtala / mtk
+ Improved various error descriptions.
-ptsname.3
+epoll_wait.2
+ David Lloyd / Mike Frysinger, Marko Kohtala
+ Added EINTR to errors.
+
+fcntl.2
+ Jamie Lokier / mtk
+ Improved discussion of F_SETOWN and F_SETSIG with respect to
+ multi-threaded programs.
+ Generally cleaned up the discussion of F_SETOWN.
+
+ Updated CONFORMING TO to note that F_GETOWN and F_SETOWN are
+ now in POSIX.
+
+link.2
+ mtk
+ Noted discrepancy between Linux and POSIX.1 when oldpath
+ is a symbolic link.
+ See: http://bugs.linuxbase.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367
+ and: http://www.opengroup.org/austin/mailarchives/ag/msg08152.html
+
+ Michael Haardt / mtk
+ Clarified EXDEV error description: it isn't possible to link
+ across mount points, even if the mount points refer to the same
+ file system.
+
+mincore.2
+ mtk, after note from Gordon Jin
+ Updated ERRORS
+
+pipe.2
+ As per message from Serguei Leontiev
+ Removed SVr2, AT&T, and BSD from CONFORMING TO, since
+ a pipe on those systems is actually bidirectional.
+ (Pipes are implemented as STREAMS on the former, and
+ sockets on the latter.)
+
+posix_fadvise.2
mtk
- Added description of ptsname_r().
- Added ERRORS.
+ Noted kernel version where posix_fadvise() appeared and
+ noted bug in handling of 'len' in kernels < 2.6.6.
-ptsname_r.3
+rename.2
+ Michael Haardt
+ Clarified EXDEV error description: it isn't possible to rename
+ a file across mount points, even if the mount points refer to
+ the same file system.
+
+semop.2
mtk
- New link to ptsname.3
-
-shm_open.3
- Matthew Gregan
- add <fcntl.h> to synopsis

+ Matthias Lang, mtk
+ Noted MAX_SEC_IN_JIFFIES ceiling.
+ Added note about treatment of out-of-range tv_usec values.
+
+sigqueue.2
+ Johan Walles, Martin (Joey) Schulze
+ Added sigqueue.2 to SEE ALSO
- Changed range for "%S" from 0..61 to 0..60.
+times.2
+ mtk
+ Added notes on non-standard behaviour: Linux allows 'buf' to
+ be NULL, but POSIX.1 doesn't specify this and it's non-portable.
- SUSv3 says 0..60. I think the manual page probably says
- 0..61, because that's what SUSv2 said.
- (Some other implementations' man pages also say 0..61 --
- e.g., Solaris 8 & 9, Tru64 5.1B; FreeBSD 5.1 says 0..60.)
+uselib.2
+ Andries Brouwer
+ Improved DESCRIPTION; clarified distinction between
+ EACCES and ENOEXEC.
- The glibc manual currently says 0..60.
+bcopy.3
+ Heikki Orsila
+ bcopy() handles overlapping case, but memcpy does not,
+ so for consistency memmove() should be also mentioned.
- Given that SUSv3 says 0..60, I've changed this the
- manual page to also say this:
+getmntent_r.3
+ Martin (Joey) Schulze
+ New link to man3/getmntent.3.
- -The second as a decimal number (range 00 to 61).
- +The second as a decimal number (range 00 to 60).
- +(The range is up to 60 to allow for occasional leap seconds.)
+memcpy.3
+ Small wording change after suggestion from Sasa Stevanovic.

-system.3
- Pedro Zorzenon
- as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=242638
- Noted use of _XOPEN_SOURCE to get macros <sytdlib.h>
- as for wait(2).
+strftime.3
+ mtk
+ Noted that SUSv2 allowed a range of 00 to 61 for %S specifier.
+strstr.3
mtk
- Changed name of argument from 'string' to 'command' (like POSIX).
+ Added description of strcasestr().
- Noted that glibc does nowadays explicitly check for the existence
- of the shell if 'command' is NULL, rather than the older behaviour
- of assuming the shell exists and always returning 1 if
- 'command' is NULL.
+random.4
+ aeb
+ Improved description of read from /dev/urandom.
- Other wording and formatting clean-ups.
+st.4
+ Kai Makisara
+ Substantial updates.
-undocumented.3
- Remove some functions names that *are* documented.
+man.7
+ Martin Schulze <joey@infodrom.org>
+ Branden Robinson <branden@debian.org>
+ Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
+ Mention the .URL macro more verbosely.
