+ Use <sys/sysmacros.h> in SYNOPSIS
+ Defining these functions via <sys/types.h> causes problems for
+ some folk. As noted by Zack Wein:
+
+ libstdc++ force-enables _GNU_SOURCE, which means people
+ writing in C++ _can't_ avoid these nonstandard macros by
+ using a strict conformance mode.
+
+ Since glibc has basically always used <sys/sysmacros.h>,
+ update the docs to have people include that instead.
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ NOTES: mention that <sys/types.h> may also define these macros
+
+popen.3

+ Marko Myllynen
+ Update LC_ADDRESS after glibc change

+ the same function as MCAST_LEAVE_GROUP and is documented in the
+ ip.7 man page.
+
+ Reference:
+ Linux kernel net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c do_ip_setsockopt()

+namespaces.7
