Changed range for "%S" from 0..61 to 0..60.

|
|
|
|
2006-08-02 11:01:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
SUSv3 says 0..60. I think the manual page probably says
|
2005-03-31 12:57:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
0..61, because that's what SUSv2 said.
|
2006-08-02 11:01:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
(Some other implementations' man pages also say 0..61 --
|
2005-03-31 12:57:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
e.g., Solaris 8 & 9, Tru64 5.1B; FreeBSD 5.1 says 0..60.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The glibc manual currently says 0..60.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-08-02 11:01:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Given that SUSv3 says 0..60, I've changed the
|
2005-03-31 12:57:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
manual page to also say this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-The second as a decimal number (range 00 to 61).
|
|
|
|
|
+The second as a decimal number (range 00 to 60).

Changed name of argument from 'string' to 'command' (like POSIX).
|

|
|
|

|
|
Noted that glibc does nowadays explicitly check for the existence
|
2007-06-08 10:04:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
of the shell if 'command' is NULL, rather than the older behavior
|
2005-03-31 12:57:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
of assuming the shell exists and always returning 1 if
|
|
|
|
|
'command' is NULL.

pipe.2
|
|
|
|
|
As per message from Serguei Leontiev
|
|
|
|
|
Removed SVr2, AT&T, and BSD from CONFORMING TO, since

a pipe on those systems is actually bidirectional.
|
2006-08-02 11:01:14 +00:00
|
|

(Pipes are implemented as STREAMS on the former, and

mtk
|
2007-06-08 10:04:51 +00:00

Added notes on non-standard behavior: Linux allows 'buf' to
|
2005-04-14 09:26:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
be NULL, but POSIX.1 doesn't specify this and it's non-portable.

Heikki Orsila

bcopy() handles overlapping case, but memcpy() does not,
|
2005-04-14 09:26:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
so for consistency memmove() should be also mentioned.

|
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-08-02 11:01:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The changes in this release consist *solely* of formatting fixes, with
|
|
|
|
|
the aim bringing greater consistency to the manual pages according to
|
2005-10-19 13:11:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
the following rules:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-08-02 11:01:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
-- Function name references should *always* be followed by
|
2005-10-19 13:11:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
parentheses, "()" (possibly containing a manual page section
|
|
|
|
|
number).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-08-02 11:01:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
-- The parentheses following a function name should *not* be
|
2005-10-19 13:11:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
formatted. Thus, for example, instead of:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.B name()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
one should write:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.BR name ()
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-08-02 11:01:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Much of the change was automated using two scripts:
|
2005-10-19 13:11:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
add_parens_for_own_funcs.sh and unformat_parens.sh.
|
2006-08-02 11:01:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
For the (possible) benefit of downstream manual page maintainers and
|
2005-10-19 13:11:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
translators, I have placed these scripts in a new subdirectory 'scripts'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE THE FOLLOWING POINTS WELL:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-- These scripts provide a computer-assisted solution to the above
|
|
|
|
|
two goals. However, they are not perfect, and their output should
|
2006-08-02 11:01:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
be scanned by a human. (To see what changes the two scripts
|
2005-10-19 13:11:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*would* make, without making them, use the "-n" command line option.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-- The scripts do not fix all instances that violate the above rules:
|
|
|
|
|
some manual fixes are required. Two further scripts are provided
|
2006-08-02 11:01:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
to help find remaining instances of function names without
|
2005-10-19 13:11:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
following "()": find_dots_no_parens.sh and find_slashes_no_parens.sh.
|
|
|
|
|

Most instances of the constant "NULL" are not formatted (bolded) in

|
|
|
|
|
been removed where it occurred.

|
|
|
|
|
"and it gets these last five capabilities if its fsuid is 0 as well"

since there are (unusual) situations in which fsuid can be 0 while

the effective UID is not.

Although the glibc implementation returns -1 on error (and some
|
|

other man pages (e.g., the BSDs) also document that value for
|
2005-11-17 18:09:54 +00:00

what manual pages on many implementations also say).

Formerly, the page said that all systems declare memalign() in

".so" link files have been created to link the old file locations to the

|
|
|
|
references from any other (non-man-pages) pages will remain valid;

Most pages
|

|
|

mtk
|
|
|
|
|
There was a major reworking of the CONFORMING TO sections
|
|
|
|
|
in most manual pages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* generally try to rationalize the names used for standards.
|
|
|
|
|
The preferred names are now documented as the head words
|
|
|
|
|
of the list in standards(7). For the future: there is
|
|
|
|
|
probably no need to talk about anything more than
|
|
|
|
|
C89, C99, POSIX.1-2001 (or later), xBSD, and SVr4.
|
|
|
|
|
(In particular, I've eliminated most references to XPG
|
|
|
|
|
and SVID, replacing them with references to SUS or SVr4.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* eliminate discussion of errors that can occur on other
|
|
|
|
|
systems. This information exists only patchily in the
|
|
|
|
|
manual pages, is probably of limited use, is hard to maintain,
|
|
|
|
|
and was in some cases simply wrong (and probably always was).

2007-12-01 05:06:57 +00:00
|

|
* Tried to ensure that those interfaces specified in C99 or
|
|
|
|
|
POSIX.1-2001 are marked as such in their manual pages.

Update the RTC man page to reflect the new RTC class framework:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Generalize ... it's not just for PC/AT style RTCs, and there
|
|
|
|
|
may be more than one RTC per system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Not all RTCs expose the same feature set as PC/AT ones; most
|
|
|
|
|
of these ioctls will be rejected by some RTCs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Be explicit about when {A,P}IE_{ON,OFF} calls are needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Describe the parameter to the get/set epoch request; correct
|
|
|
|
|
the description of the get/set frequency parameter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Document RTC_WKALM_{RD,SET}, which don't need AIE_{ON,OFF} and
|
|
|
|
|
which support longer alarm periods.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Hey, not all system clock implementations count timer irqs any
|
|
|
|
|
more now that the new RT-derived clock support is merging.

Kernel 2.6.21 fixes several earlier bugs in mincore().
|
|
|
|

Nick Pollitt

not true.

If sops contains multiple operations, then these are performed
|
|
|
|
|
in array order. All Unix systems that I know of do this,
|
2007-06-08 10:04:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
and some Linux applications depend on this behavior. SUSv3
|
2007-05-11 20:01:16 +00:00
|
|
|
|
made no explicit statement here, but SUSv4 will explicitly
|
2007-06-08 10:04:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
require this behavior.

Chuck Ebbert

|
|
|
|
When the parent receives an event with PTRACE_EVENT_* set,
|
|
|
|
|
the child is not in the normal signal delivery path. This
|
|
|
|
|
means the parent cannot do ptrace(PTRACE_CONT) with a signal
|
|
|
|
|
or ptrace(PTRACE_KILL). kill() with a SIGKILL signal can be
|
|
|
|
|
used instead to kill the child process after receiving one
|
2007-04-03 11:41:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
of these messages.

--------------

|

|

|
|
|
|
This release consists mainly of changes to source file layout
|
|
|
|
|
(wrapped long lines; stripped trailing white space; started new
|
|
|
|
|
sentences on new lines).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is very little change to output formatting or content (see the
|
|
|
|
|
notes below).

Removed pages (!)

Most Section 1 man pages are removed
|
|
|
|
|
mtk (with help from Mike Frysinger, Laird Shaw, Andreas Halter)
|
|
|
|
|
Once upon time Andries added a number of Section 1 manual pages
|
|
|
|
|
to man-pages. However, since that time, those pages have not
|
|
|
|
|
seen much maintenance, and are not in fact distributed in most
|
2007-06-13 21:53:10 +00:00
|
|
|
|
distributions. Instead most distributions supply the
|
2007-05-12 07:26:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
coreutils versions of these pages, which are currently
|
|
|
|
|
maintained. In addition, man-pages provides the 1p pages,
|
|
|
|
|
which document the portable subset of functionality of these
|
|
|
|
|
commands. Since the man1 pages are mostly unneeded, and
|
|
|
|
|
out of date, I'm removing them. The following pages disappear:

Some .SH header lines were made into .SS lines. (One of the aims
|
|
|
|
|
here is to reduce the number of non-standard .SH lines.)

Commented out .SH AUTHOR sections; the right place for

documentation authorship sections is usually comments at the

Changed .SH HISTORY to .SH VERSIONS.
|
2007-06-13 21:53:10 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Reason: in many cases, HISTORY was being used to describe
|
|
|
|
|
Linux/glibc version information, as was already done for
|
2007-05-18 16:06:42 +00:00
|

Removed HISTORY section, or moved it as a subsection or paragraphs
|
|

|
under another section e.g., NOTES.
|
|
|
|
|
Reason: there are too many arbitrary section (.SH) names, and
|
|
|
|
|
a HISTORY section never was consistently used across Linux
|
|
|
|
|
manual pages.

Reason: this was the only Section 9 page, and it is old
|
|
|
|
|
(Linux 2.4). The man9 section never took off as an idea, and
|
|
|
|
|
I see little point in keeping a Section 9 with just a single
|
|
|
|
|
old page.

|
Removed version numbers in .TH lines.
|
2007-06-13 21:53:10 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Reason: these were only arbitrarily updated, and so impart no
|
|
|
|
|
useful information. Version information goes into a
|
2007-05-30 15:24:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
VERSIONS section nowadays, and the date in the .TH line should
|
|
|
|
|
be updated to reflect the date of the last (significant)
|
|
|
|
|
change to the page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Typographical or grammatical errors have been corrected in several
|
|
|
|
|
places.

__clone.2
|
|
|
|
|
mtk
|
|
|
|

This file was created by accident in 2.61, as a copy of clone.2.

respective syscall man pages (stat.2, uname.2).

|
|
|

mtk
|
|
|
|

This page is very out of date, and in any case difficult
|
|
|
|
|
to maintain. Information about undocumented system calls
|
2007-07-18 19:56:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
is maintained in the HOWTOHELP file, and probably in other
|
2007-07-02 12:30:02 +00:00
|
|
|
|
places soon.

killpg.3

|
|

|
|
|
|

Note that the XPG version is provided since glibc 2.3.4.
|
|
|
|
|
The page formerly said that the GNU-specific version
|
|
|
|
|
is provided by default. That certainly isn't true
|
|
|
|
|
nowadays, since _POSIX_C_SOURCE is set to 200112L by
|
|
|
|
|
default, so that the XSI-compliant version is supplied
|
|
|
|
|
by default.

Many other corrections, improvements, additions, and
|
|
|
|
|
details about differences across glibc versions.

Somehow, over time, material on fdatasync(2) crept into

fsync.2, and fdatasync also got added to the NAME section

of fsync.2. All of the material in fdatasync.2 that was

not already in fsync.2 has now been moved there, and

the former page has been removed.

|
|
|
|
|
Maxime Vaudequin
|
|
|
|
|
I noticed things to correct and to clarify in subsection
|
|
|
|
|
"/proc/filesystems" of proc.5:
|
|
|
|
|
- clarify filesystems listing: not only FS compiled
|
|
|
|
|
into the kernel, also FS kernel modules currently loaded
|
|
|
|
|
- add a reference to fs(5)
|
|
|
|
|
- add an explanation for FS marked with "nodev"
|
|
|
|
|
- s/mount(1)/mount(8)/, also corrected in section "SEE ALSO"
|
|
|
|
|
- clarify usage by mount: the current wording may lead to
|
|
|
|
|
think /proc/filesystems is always used by mount when no FS
|
|
|
|
|
is specified. So, usage of "may" which IMHO is more
|
|
|
|
|
appropriate + additional explanations
|
|
|
|
|
In mount(8) we can see:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If no -t option is given, or if the auto type is
|
|
|
|
|
specified, mount will try to guess the desired type.
|
|
|
|
|
If mount was compiled with the blkid library, the
|
|
|
|
|
guessing is done by this library. Otherwise, mount
|
|
|
|
|
guesses itself by probing the superblock; if that
|
|
|
|
|
does not turn up anything that looks familiar,
|
|
|
|
|
mount will try to read the file /etc/filesystems,
|
|
|
|
|
or, if that does not exist, /proc/filesystems.
|
|
|
|
|
All of the filesystem types listed there will be
|
|
|
|
|
tried, except for those that are labeled "nodev"
|
|
|
|
|
(e.g., devpts, proc and nfs). If /etc/filesystems
|
|
|
|
|
ends in a line with a single * only, mount will
|
|
|
|
|
read /proc/filesystems afterwards.
|

Samuel Thibault
|
|
|
|
|
Since linux 2.6.11, /proc/stat has an eighth value for cpu
|
|
|
|
|
lines: stolen time, which is the time spent in other operating
|
|
|
|
|
systems when running in a virtualized environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

hier.7
|
|
|
|
|
Maxime Vaudequin
|
|
|
|
|
This is some corrections for hier.7:
|
|
|
|
|
- missing period for /media and /mnt
|
|
|
|
|
- /mnt description is not totally correct, it is true for some
|
|
|
|
|
distributions but in others /mnt is used as a temporary FS
|
|
|
|
|
mount point, as it is specified by FHS:

Maxime Vaudequin
|
|
|
|
|
I noticed useless use of macros with alternating formatting
|
|
|
|
|
(".IR" instead ".I" which suffices, ".BR" instead ".B", etc.)
|
|
|
|
|
because there is only one element. For example in ldconfig.8:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-.BR /sbin/ldconfig
|
|
|
|
|
+.B /sbin/ldconfig
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is not very important, it only makes the sources more tidy.
|
|
|
|
|
To find these I used:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
egrep '^\.(B[RI]|R[IB]|I[RB]) ([^ ]+|\"[^\"]\+\")$'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And if you want to make these changes, you can use:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sed 's/^\(\.[BRI]\)[BRI]\( \([^ ]\+\|\"[^\"]\+\"\)\)$/\1\2/g'

s/x86/i386/ since that is the name used in 'arch' directories

used in man pages; also nowadays 'x86' is somewhat ambiguous,
|
|
|

since it is the name of the 'arch' directory for i386 and x86-64.

Format casts so that there is a non-breaking space after the

|
|
|
|
type, and remove unnecessary parentheses around the casted value.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR "(size_t) (\-1)" .
|
|
|
|
|

.IR "(size_t)\ \-1" .

ctime.3
|
|
|
|
|
Walter Harms
|
|
|
|
|
Note that POSIX requires localtime() to act as though tzset()
|
|
|
|
|
was called, but localtime_r() does not have the same requirement.

proc.5
|
|
|
|
|
Fernando Luis V<>zquez Cao
|
|
|
|
|
Update /proc/[number]/cmdline description.
|
|
|
|
|
It used to be true that the command line arguments were
|
|
|
|
|
not accessible when the process had been swapped out.
|
|
|
|
|
In ancient kernels (circa 2.0.*) the problem was that the
|
|
|
|
|
kernel relied on get_phys_addr to access the user space buffer,
|
|
|
|
|
which stopped working as soon as the process was swapped out.
|
|
|
|
|
Recent kernels use get_user_pages for the same purpose and thus
|
|
|
|
|
they should not have that limitation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
epoll.7
|

|
|
|
Davide Libenzi / mtk
|
|
|
|
|
Clarify the somewhat unintuitive behavior that occurs if a file
|
|
|
|
|
descriptor in an epoll set is closed while other file descriptors
|
|
|
|
|
referring to the same underlying open file description remain
|
|
|
|
|
open.

|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
A few minor rewordings.
|
|
|
|
|
mtk, after a note by Chris Heath
|
|
|
|
|
Rework Q1/A1, describing what happens when adding the same
|
|
|
|
|
file descriptor twice to an epoll set, and when adding duplicate
|
|
|
|
|
file descriptors to the same epoll set.
|
|
|
|
|
Heikki Orsila / mtk / Davide Libenzi
|
|
|
|
|
Clarify Q9/A9 to discuss packet/token-oriented files.
|
|
|
|
|
mtk, after comments by Devide Libenzi and Chris Heath
|
|
|
|
|
Added Q0/A0, making explicit that the key for items in an epoll
|
|
|
|
|
set is [file descriptor, open file description].
|
|
|
|
|
mtk, after a note by Ron Burk
|
|
|
|
|
Change A3, to note that when events are available,
|
|
|
|
|
the epoll file descriptor will indicate as being readable.
|
|
|
|
|
mtk
|
|
|
|
|
Add some further explanation to Q5/A5 about why an epoll file
|
|
|
|
|
descriptor cannot be passed across a Unix domain socket.

Various pages that I wrote carried a slightly modified version

of the "verbatim" license. In the interests of minimizing

license proliferation, I've reverted the modified form
|
|
|
|
|
so that the license is exactly the same as on other pages
|
|
|
|
|
carrying the verbatim license.

NOTES: since glibc 2.3.3, the glibc NPTL fork() wrapper

NOTES: Pthreads requires that all threads share the same UIDs and
|
|
|
|
|
GIDs. But the Linux kernel maintains separate UIDs and GIDs for
|
|
|
|
|
every thread. NPTL does some work to ensure that credential
|
|
|
|
|
changes by any thread are carried through to all POSIX threads in
|
|
|
|
|
a process.

Global changes
|
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The POSIX.1 man pages (sections 0p, 1p, 3p) have been moved out
|
|
|
|
|
of this package into the separate man-pages-posix package.
|
|
|
|
|
This made sense because those pages are seldom changed (only formatting
|
|
|
|
|
fixes, etc.) so that it was unnecessary to redistribute them with each
|
|
|
|
|
man-pages release.

|
|
s/`/\`/ for backquotes used in command substitution, for
|
|
|
|
|
proper rendering in UTF-8.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Various pages
|
|
|
|
|
mtk, after a note from Stuart Brady
|
|
|
|
|
Using /'x'/ to denote a character (string) renders poorly in
|
|
|
|
|
UTF-8, where the two ' characters render as closing single
|
|
|
|
|
quotes. On the other hand, using /`x'/ renders nicely on UTF-8,
|
|
|
|
|
where proper opening and closing single quotes are produced by
|
|
|
|
|
groff(1), but looks ugly when rendered in ASCII. Using the
|
|
|
|
|
sequence /\\aqx\\aq/ produces a reasonable rendering ('\\aq'
|
|
|
|
|
is a vertical "apostrophe quote") in both UTF-8 and ASCII.
|
|
|
|
|
So that change is made in a number of pages.

Various pages

|
|
|
|
|
Replace form /`string'/ by /"string"/, since the former renders
|
|
|
|
|
poorly in ASCII.
