|
|

Michael Kerrisk
|
|
|
|
Global fix: use consistent capitalization in .SS headings
|
|
|
|
Capitalization in .SS sections across pages (and sometimes even
|
|
|
|
within a single page) is wildly inconsistent. Make it consistent.
|
|
|
|
Capitalize first word in heading, but otherwise use lower case,
|
|
|
|
except where English usage (e.g., proper nouns) or programming
|
|
|
|
language requirements (e.g., identifier names) dictate otherwise.
|

|
accept.2
|
|
|
|
Michael Kerrisk
|
|
|
|
NAME: Add "accept4"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
access.2
|
|
|
|
Colin Walters
|
|
|
|
Note that access() may also fail for FUSE
|
|
|
|
Since in some cases (e.g. libguestfs's guestmount) it also has the
|
|
|
|
semantics where files can appear owned by root, but are actually
|
|
|
|
mutable by the user, despite what one might infer from the Unix
|
|
|
|
permissions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
getpeername.2
|
|
|
|
Michael Kerrisk [Kai Kunschke]
|
|
|
|
Clarify semantics of getpeername() for datagram sockets
|
|
|
|
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=674034
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
getuid.2
|
|
|
|
Michael Kerrisk
|
|
|
|
Remove duplicate section heading
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mmap.2
|
|
|
|
Cyril Hrubis
|
|
|
|
Add note about partial page in BUGS section
|
|
|
|
This adds a note about Linux behavior with partial page at the end
|
|
|
|
of the object. The problem here is that a page that contains only
|
|
|
|
part of a file (because the file size is not multiple of PAGE_SIZE)
|
|
|
|
stays in page cache even after the mapping is unmapped and the file
|
|
|
|
is closed. So if some process dirties such page, other mappings
|
|
|
|
will see the changes rather than zeroes.
|
|
|
|
Michael Kerrisk [Török Edwin]
|
|
|
|
Some 'flags' values require a feature test macro to be defined
|
|
|
|
Add text to NOTES noting that some MAP_* constants are
|
|
|
|
defined only if a suitable feature test macro is defined.
|
|
|
|
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=542601

|
Cyril Hrubis
|
|
|
|
Document EOVERFLOW error
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
open.2
|
|
|
|
Michael Kerrisk
|
|
|
|
Clarify list of file creation flags
|
|
|
|
POSIX.1-2008 TC1 clarified this, so that O_CLOEXEC,
|
|
|
|
O_DIRECTORY, and O_NOFOLLOW are also in this list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
prctl.2
|
|
|
|
Cyrill Gorcunov
|
|
|
|
Add some details for PR_GET_TID_ADDRESS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
read.2
|
|
|
|
Michael Kerrisk [Zack Weinberg]
|
|
|
|
Clarify interaction of count==0 and error checking
|
|
|
|
POSIX deliberately leaves this case open, so the man
|
|
|
|
page should be less specific about what happens.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533232
