+ send.2
+ setsid.2
+ socket.2
+ closedir.3
+ initgroups.3
+ mkstemp.3

+
+Individual pages
+----------------
+
+sendfile.2
+ mtk
+ Adjusted descriptions of argument file types to be closer to
+ 2.6 reality.
+ Wording and formatting changes
+
+ctan.3
+ctanh.3
+ Tony Crawford
+ As per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=270817
+ Formulae on the pages should be T = S / C not T = C / S.
+
+errno.3
+ Martin Schulze, mtk
+ Removed errno declaration from prototype, added notes
+ on historical need for this declaration.
+ http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=174175
+
+aio_return.3
+ as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=224953
+ Changed erroneous "aio_return(2)" to "aio_return(3)"
+
+posix_openpt.3
+ mtk
+ New by mtk
+
+ptsname.3
+ mtk
+ Added description of ptsname_r().
+ Added ERRORS.
+
+ptsname_r.3
+ mtk
+ New link to ptsname.3
+
+shm_open.3
+ Matthew Gregan
+ add <fcntl.h> to synopsis
+ as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=271243
+
+strcasecmp.3
+ Marek Habersack <grendel@debian.org>
+ .SH "CONFORMING TO"
+ -BSD 4.4
+ +BSD 4.4, SUSv3
+ as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=234443
+
+strfry.3
+ Joshua Kwan
+ Added _GNU_SOURCE to prototype
+ as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=213538
+
+strftime.3
+ Cartsen Hey
+ as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=276248
+
+ Changed range for "%S" from 0..61 to 0..60.
+
+ 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.)
+
+ The glibc manual currently says 0..60.
+
+ Given that SUSv3 says 0..60, I've changed this the
+ manual page to also say this:
+
+ -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.)

+
+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).
+
+ mtk
+ Changed name of argument from 'string' to 'command' (like POSIX).
+
+ 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.
+
+ Other wording and formatting clean-ups.
+
+undocumented.3
+ Remove some functions names that *are* documented.
