Global changes
--------------
pthread_attr_setaffinity_np.3
pthread_getattr_np.3
pthread_setaffinity_np.3
pthread_tryjoin_np.3
Michael Kerrisk
Explain _np suffix
Add text to CONFORMING TO explaining that the "_np"
suffix is because these functions are non-portable.
Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
sched_setaffinity.2
Michael Kerrisk
SEE ALSO: add sched_getcpu(3)
sched_setaffinity.2
Michael Kerrisk
SEE ALSO: Add pthread_setaffinity_np(3)
sched_setaffinity.2
Michael Kerrisk
Clarify EINVAL error for cpusetsize < kernel mask size
For sched_setaffinity(), the EINVAL error that occurs
if 'cpusetsize' is smaller than the kernel CPU set size only
occurs with kernels before 2.6.9.
vfork.2
Michael Kerrisk
Child holds parent's memory until execve() or *termination*
The page was phrased in a few places to describe the child as
holding the parent's memory until the child does an execve(2)
or an _exit(2). The latter case should really be the more
general process termination (i.e., either _exit(2) or abnormal
termination).
clock_getres.3
Michael Kerrisk
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID and CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID not setabble
According to POSIX.1-2001, the CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID and
CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID clocks should be settable, but
currently they are not.
pthread_attr_setstacksize.3
Michael Kerrisk, after a report by Karsten Weiss
EINVAL occurs on some systems if stacksize != page-size
On MacOS X at least, pthread_attr_setstacksize(3) can fail
with EINVAL if 'stacksize' is not a multiple of the system
page size. Best to mention this so as to aid people writing
portable programs.
pthread_create.3
Karsten Weiss
Fix bug in EXAMPLE program
The calloc() line should read like this instead:
tinfo = calloc(num_threads, sizeof(struct thread_info));
pthread_exit.3
Michael Kerrisk
BUGS: thread group with a dead leader and stop signals
Document the bug that can occur when a stop signal
is sent to a thread group whose leader has terminated.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/611611
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=122525468300823&w=2
resolver.3
Michael Kerrisk
Fix prototype of dn_expand()
The 4th argument is "char *", not "unsigned char *".
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504708
epoll.7
Michael Kerrisk
Fix error handling after accept() in example code
Simply continuing after an error is in most cases wrong,
and can lead to infinite loops (e.g., for EMFILE).
So handle an error by terminating.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504202
epoll.7
Michael Kerrisk
Add error handling for epoll_wait() call in example code
epoll.7
Michael Kerrisk
Improve example code
Fill in some gaps in example code (variable declarations,
adding listening socket to epoll set).
Give variables more meaningful names.
Other minor changes.

iso_8859-7.7
Lefteris Dimitroulakis
Add characters for Drachma and Greek Ypogegrammeni
Lines for these two characters were added in the previous patch,
but the actual characters were not included in the 4th column
of the table. This fixes that.
pthreads.7
Michael Kerrisk
Add a section describing thread IDs
In particular, note that in each pthreads function that takes
a thread ID argument, that ID by definition refers to a thread
in the same process as the caller.
