+Changes to individual pages
+---------------------------
+
+fcntl.2
+ mtk, after a note by Mike Bianchi
+ More clearly and consistently describe whether
+ or not the third argument to fcntl() is required,
+ and what its type should be.
+ mtk
+ Move description of negative l_len from NOTES, integrating
+ it into the discussion of file locking.
+ Minor rewrites of the text on file locking.
+
+getrusage.2
+ Bernd Eckenfels
+ SEE ALSO: Add clock(3), clock_gettime(3).
+ See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=353475
+
+ioctl_list.2
+ mtk
+ Remove old sentence about where to send updates for this page.
+ Add more detail on mount options that prevent updates to atime.
+
+sched_setscheduler.2
+ Carsten Emde
+ Update kernel version numbers relating to real-time support.
+
+stat.2
+ H. Peter Anvin
+ Note that lstat() will generally not trigger automounter
+ action, whereas stat() will.
+
+clock.3
+ Bernd Eckenfels
+ SEE ALSO: Add clock_gettime(3).
+ See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=353475
+
+clock_getres.3
+ Tolga Dalman / mtk
+ Add "Link with -lrt" to SYNOPSIS; remove now redundant
+ sentence mentioning librt from NOTES.
+
+getdate.3
+ mtk
+ Rewrite description of getdate_r() and integrate into main text
+ (rather than describing in NOTES).
+ Other parts rewritten for greater clarity.
+ Make it clearer in the main text that glibc does not implement %Z;
+ remove discussion of that point from NOTES.
+ Added an example program.
+
+hsearch.3
+ mtk
+ Noted that table size as specified by 'nel' is immutable.
+ Described differences between hsearch() and hsearch_r().
+ Added missing pieces to RETURN VALUE.
+ Added a number of new entries under ERRORS.
+ NOTES: added some basic advice on sizing the hash table;
+ noted that when a table is destroyed, the caller is responsible
+ for freeing the buffers pointed to by 'key' and 'data' fields.
+ One of the BUGS was fixed in glibc 2.3.
+ Rewrote and clarified various other pieces.
+ Rename arguments for reentrant functions, using same name as
+ glibc headers: s/ret/retval/; s/tab/htab/.
+ mtk, after a suggestion by Timothy S. Wayland
+ Integrate discussion of reentrant functions into main discussion
+ (rather than as a short paragraph at the end).
+
+iconv.3
+ Bruno Haible
+ Describe "shift sequence" input.
+
+ptsname.3
+ sukadev
+ Fix return type of ptsname_r() in SYNOPSIS.
+
+readdir.3
+ H. Peter Anvin
+ s/stat(2)/lstat(2)/ when discussing d_type (since we
+ are talking about a case where we might be interested to
+ whether the file itself is a symbolic link).
+
+sigsetops.3
+ Chris Head, signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger
+ Fix typo: s/sigdelset/sigorset/
+
+proc.5
+ Mats Wichmann / mtk
+ s/\[number]/[pid]/ in file names for /proc/PID files.
+ And similar changes for task/[tid] sub-directories.
+ mtk / Mats Wichmann
+ In the description if /proc/[pid]/environ, remove reference to
+ lilo(8)/grub(8) since there seems to be nothing in those pages
+ that related to this /proc file.
+ Michael Schurter / mtk
+ Remove sentence wrongly saying that /proc/meminfo reports
+ info in bytes;
+ see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=462969
+ mtk
+ Note that /proc/meminfo reports system-wide memory usage
+ statistics.
+ Joe Korty
+ Document new fields in /proc/interrupts that were added in
+ Linux 2.6.24.
+
+unix.7
+ Marko Kreen
+ Since glibc 2.8, _GNU_SOURCE must be defined in order to get
+ the definition of the ucred structure from <sys/socket.h>.
