+
+
+Changes to individual pages
+---------------------------
+
+connect.2
+    Michael Haardt
+        Note that a new socket should be used if connect() fails
+
+fcntl.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        One must define _GNU_SOURCE to get the F_OFD_* definitions
+
+poll.2, select.2
+    Rusty Russell
+        Fix erroneous description of "available for write".
+            POSIX says: "POLLOUT Normal data may be written without
+            blocking.".  This "may" is misleading, see the POSIX
+            write page:
+
+                Write requests to a pipe or FIFO shall be handled in the
+                same way as a regular file with the following exceptions:
+                ...
+                If the O_NONBLOCK flag is clear, a write request may cause
+                the thread to block, but on normal completion it shall
+                return nbyte.
+                ...
+                When attempting to write to a file descriptor (other than a
+                pipe or FIFO) that supports non-blocking writes and cannot
+                accept the data immediately:
+
+                If the O_NONBLOCK flag is clear, write() shall block the
+                calling thread until the data can be accepted.
+
+                If the O_NONBLOCK flag is set, write() shall not block the
+                thread. If some data can be written without blocking the
+                thread, write() shall write what it can and return the
+                number of bytes written. Otherwise, it shall return -1 and
+                set errno to [EAGAIN].
+
+            The net result is that write() of more than 1 byte on a
+            socket, pipe or FIFO which is "ready" may block: write()
+            (unlike read!) will attempt to write the entire buffer and
+            only return a short write under exceptional circumstances.
+
+            Indeed, this is the behaviour we see in Linux:

+
+errno.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        SEE ALSO: add errno(1)
+
+rtnetlink.3
+    Holger Hans Peter Freyther
+        Fix parameters for the send() call in the example
+
+inotify.7
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        IN_OPEN and IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE can also occur for directories
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        IN_CLOSE_WRITE occurs only for files (not monitored directory)
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        IN_MODIFY is generated for files only (not monitored directories)
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        IN_ACCESS occurs only for files inside directories
+            IN_ACCESS does not occur for monitored directory.
+
+packet.7
+    Sorin Dumitru
+        Fix include file
+            It looks like most of the socket options from this man pages
+            are not defined in <netpacket/packet.h>. They are defined in
+            <linux/if_packet.h> so we should include that one.
