Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
bind.2
Michael Kerrisk
SEE ALSO: Add getifaddrs(3)
epoll_create.2
Michael Kerrisk
Document EMFILE error
This error is encountered when the limit imposed by
/proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_instances is encountered.
Michael Kerrisk
Clarify distinction between epoll instance and epoll file descriptor
Reword so that the notion of an epoll instance is made clear,
and made distinct from the notion of an epoll file descriptor.
Some other minor rewordings also.
epoll_ctl.2
Michael Kerrisk
Reordered parts of the text
Michael Kerrisk
Introduce notion of epoll instance
Introduce notion of epoll instance as distinct from
epoll file descriptor. Plus other wording clean-ups.
Michael Kerrisk
Document ENOSPC error (new in Linux 2.6.28)
This error results when the limit imposed by
/proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_watches is encountered.
epoll_wait.2
Michael Kerrisk
Introduce the notion of an epoll instance into text
getdents.2
Michael Kerrisk
Before kernel < 2.6.4, 'd_type' was effectively always DT_UNKNOWN
gethostid.2
Michael Kerrisk
Rename file (was misnamed gethostd.2 in previous release)
getsockname.2
Michael Kerrisk
SEE ALSO: Add getifaddrs(3)
signalfd.2
Michael Kerrisk
Fix description of fork() semantics
The page text described the semantics of the initial
implementation of signalfd(). These were changed early on,
but the man page wasn't updated.
byteorder.3
Michael Kerrisk
SEE ALSO: add endian(3)
longjmp.3
Michael Kerrisk
Clarify wording re saving/restoring signal mask
Michael Kerrisk
siglongjmp() restores signal mask iff 'savesigs' was non-zero
Note that siglongjmp() restores signal mask if, and only
if, 'savesigs' argument of sigsetjmp() was non-zero. (Previous
text omitted the "and only if".)
memccpy.3
Michael Kerrisk
Fix CONFORMING TO: s/C99/POSIX.1-2001/
Michael Kerrisk
If the memory areas overlap, the results are undefined
sethostid.3
Michael Kerrisk
Rename file (was misnamed sethostd.3 in previous release)
setjmp.3
Michael Kerrisk
Clarify wording re saving/restoring signal mask
Michael Kerrisk
Clarify when setjmp() provides BSD vs System V signal mask semantics
strsep.3
Michael Kerrisk
BUGS: explicitly list problems afflicting strsep()
Previously, the page said this function suffered the same
problems as strtok(), but in fact strsep() doesn't suffer
from all of the same problems as strtok(), so explicitly
list just the problems of strsep() in the strsep.3 page.
proc.5
Michael Kerrisk
Add pointer to epoll(7) for description of epoll /proc files
epoll.7
Michael Kerrisk
Document /proc interfaces for limiting kernel memory usage
Document the following /proc files that were added in
Linux 2.6.28:
/proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_instances
/proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_watches
Michael Kerrisk
Various wording changes to improve clarity and consistency
