New and rewritten pages
-----------------------
subpage_prot.2
Michael Kerrisk
New page documenting the PowerPC-specific subpage_prot(2)
aio_init.3
Michael Kerrisk
New page documenting aio_init(3)
Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
---------------------------------------------
posix_fadvise.2
Michael Kerrisk
Document the architecture-specific arm_fadvise64_64() system call
This ARM-specific system call fixes the argument ordering
for that architecture. Since Linux 2.6.14.
sync_file_range.2
Michael Kerrisk
Document the architecture-specific sync_file_range2() system call
As described in commit edd5cd4a9424f22b0fa08bef5e299d41befd5622,
the sync_file_range() argument order is broken for some
architectures (PowerPC, ARM, tile). The remedy was a different
system call using the right argument order on those architectures.
psignal.3
Guillem Jover
Document psiginfo()
psiginfo() was added to glibc in version 2.10.
Michael Kerrisk
Add details, VERSIONS, and BUGS for psiginfo()
ip.7
Balazs Scheidler
Document IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR
Document IP_TRANSPARENT
Michael Kerrisk
Document IP_FREEBIND
Text based on input from Lennart Poettering and Balazs Scheidler.
See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20082
New and changed links
---------------------
arm_fadvise64_64.2
Michael Kerrisk
New link to posix_fadvise.2
arm_sync_file_range.2, sync_file_range2.2
Michael Kerrisk
New links to sync_file_range.2
arrm_fadvise.2
Michael Kerrisk
New link to posix_fadvise.2
psiginfo.3
Guillem Jover
New link to psignal.3
Global changes
--------------
Many pages
Michael Kerrisk
global fix: s/Unix/UNIX/
The man pages were rather inconsistent in the use of "Unix"
versus "UNIX". Let's go with the trademark usage.
Various pages
Michael Kerrisk
Global fix: s/pseudo-terminal/pseudoterminal/
grantpt.3, ptsname.3, unlockpt.3, pts.4
Michael Kerrisk
Global fix: s/pty/pseudoterminal/
recv.2, cmsg.3, unix.7
Michael Kerrisk
global fix: s/UNIX socket/UNIX domain socket/
fmtmsg.3, gethostbyname.3, termios.3
Michael Kerrisk
Global fix: s/Unixware/UnixWare/
Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
inotify_rm_watch.2
Michael Kerrisk
SYNOPSIS: fix type of 'wd' argument
posix_fadvise.2
Michael Kerrisk
Rewrite VERSIONS, noting that the system call is fadvise64()
syscalls.2
Michael Kerrisk
Add the PowerPC-specific subpage_prot() system call
Add sync_file_range2()
truncate.2
Michael Kerrisk
Fix feature test macros
aio_cancel.3
aio_error.3
aio_fsync.3
aio_read.3

Make these into links
In the previous release, these files were accidentally made copies
of getaddrinfo_a.3, instead of being made as link files.
getifaddrs.3
Thomas Jarosch
Prevent possible NULL pointer access in example program
malloc.3
Michael Kerrisk
Emphasize that malloc() and realloc() do not initialize allocated memory
malloc_hook.3
Ivana Varekova
Warn that these functions are deprecated
strcpy.3
Michael Kerrisk
Formatting fixes in strncpy() example implementation code
ip.7
Michael Kerrisk
Reword NOTES on Linux-specific options
sigevent.7
Michael Kerrisk
SEE ALSO: Add aio_read(3), aio_write(3), and lio_listio(3)
unix.7
Michael Kerrisk
Document the autobind feature
Michael Kerrisk
Fix description of abstract socket names
As reported by Lennart Poettering:
The part about "abstract" sockets is misleading as it suggests
that the sockaddr returned by getsockname() would necessarily
have the size of sizeof(struct sockaddr), which however is not
the case: getsockname() returns exactly the sockaddr size that
was passed in on bind(). In particular, two sockets that are
bound to the same sockaddr but different sizes are completely
independent.
See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19812
Michael Kerrisk
Fix description of "pathname" sockets
As reported by Lennart Poettering:
The part about "pathname" sockets suggests usage of
sizeof(sa_family_t) + strlen(sun_path) + 1
for calculating the sockaddr size. Due to alignment/padding
this is probably not a good idea. Instead, one should use
offsetof(struct sockaddr_un, sun_path) + strlen() + 1
or something like that.
