Global changes
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many math pages had their synopses compressed, as per suggestion
|
|
|
|
from Fabian Kreutz.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many minor content and formatting bug fixes were made to the math
|
|
|
|
pages, following suggestions from Fabian Kreutz (who recently
|
|
|
|
translated many of the 1.70 math pages into German) and
|
|
|
|
Andries Brouwer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For consistency, all instances "super-user" were changed to the more
|
|
|
|
common "superuser".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After a note from Vasya Pupkin, I added <errno.h> to the SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
of several Section 2 pages using the _syscallN() macros.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition:
|
|
|
|
-- erroneous semicolons at the end of _syscallN() were removed
|
|
|
|
on various pages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-- types such as "uint" in syscalN() declarations were changed
|
|
|
|
to "unsigned int", etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-- various other minor breakages in the synopses were fixed.

Cartsen Hey

as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=276248
|
|
|
|
|
2005-04-05 06:44:35 +00:00
|
|
|
Changed range for "%S" from 0..61 to 0..0.
|
2005-03-31 12:57:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SUSv3 says 0..60. I think the manual page probably says
|
|
|
|
0..61, because that's what SUSv2 said.
|
|
|
|
(Some other implementations' man pages also say 0..61 --
|
|
|
|
e.g., Solaris 8 & 9, Tru64 5.1B; FreeBSD 5.1 says 0..60.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The glibc manual currently says 0..60.
|
|
|
|
|
2005-04-05 06:44:35 +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).
|
|
|
|
+(The range is up to 60 to allow for occasional leap seconds.)

Pedro Zorzenon

as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=242638
|

Noted use of _XOPEN_SOURCE to get macros <sytdlib.h>
|
|
|
|
as for wait(2).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mtk
|
|
|
|
Changed name of argument from 'string' to 'command' (like POSIX).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Noted that glibc does nowadays explicitly check for the existence
|
|
|
|
of the shell if 'command' is NULL, rather than the older behaviour
|
|
|
|
of assuming the shell exists and always returning 1 if
|
|
|
|
'command' is NULL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other wording and formatting clean-ups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
undocumented.3
|
|
|
|
Remove some functions names that *are* documented.

|
|
|
|
|
|
Updated CONFORMING TO to note that F_GETOWN and F_SETOWN are
|
|
|
|
now in POSIX.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
link.2
|
|
|

Noted discrepancy between Linux and POSIX.1 when oldpath
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
mincore.2
|
|
|
|
mtk, after note from Gordon Jin
|
|
|
|
Updated ERRORS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|

(Pipes are implemented as STREAMS on the former, and
|
|
|
|
sockets on the latter.)

|
|
|
|
|
semop.2

|
Added notes on non-standard behaviour: Linux allows 'buf' to

|
|
|

|
|
bcopy() handles overlapping case, but memcpy() does not,
|
2005-04-14 09:26:47 +00:00
|
|
|
so for consistency memmove() should be also mentioned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
getmntent_r.3
|
|
|
|
Martin (Joey) Schulze
|
|
|

Released: 2005-10-19

|
|
Global changes
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The changes in this release consist *solely* of formatting fixes, with
|
|
|
|
the aim bringing greater consistency to the manual pages according to
|
|
|
|
the following rules:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-- Function name references should *always* be followed by
|
|
|
|
parentheses, "()" (possibly containing a manual page section
|
|
|
|
number).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-- The parentheses following a function name should *not* be
|
|
|
|
formatted. Thus, for example, instead of:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.B name()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
one should write:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.BR name ()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Much of the change was automated using two scripts:
|
|
|
|
add_parens_for_own_funcs.sh and unformat_parens.sh.
|
|
|
|
For the (possible) benefit of downstream manual page maintainers and
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
be scanned by a human. (To see what changes the two scripts
|
|
|
|
*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
|
|
|
|
to help find remaining instances of function names without
|
|
|
|
following "()": find_dots_no_parens.sh and find_slashes_no_parens.sh.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following changes were made:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-- add_parens_for_own_funcs.sh was applied to the pages in Sections
|
|
|
|
2 and 3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-- unformat_parens.sh was applied to pages in Sections 2, 3, 4, and 7
|
|
|
|
(the only sections where such changes were required).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-- further changes (not so very many) were performed by hand.
|
|
|
|
(found places to fix with the assistance of find_dots_no_parens.sh
|
|
|
|
and find_slashes_no_parens.sh).

Global changes
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most instances of the constant "NULL" are not formatted (bolded) in
|
|
|
|
man pages, but a few are. For consistency, formatting on "NULL" has
|
|
|
|
been removed where it occurred.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many minor formatting fixes were made.
|
|
|

Typographical or grammatical errors have been corrected in several

|
|
|
|
"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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Reworked (cut down) discussion of capabilities, moving part of

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Typographical or grammatical errors have been corrected in several
|
|
|
|
places.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Function and page cross references that were italicised were made bold
|
|
|
|
(which is how the majority of function and page cross references
|
|
|
|
were already done).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instances of things like "NULL-terminated string" were changed to
|
|
|
|
"null-terminated string".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pathnames, structures, arguments, and <header-files> that were bold
|
|
|
|
were changed to italics.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instances of the constant "NULL" that were bold-faced were made
|
|
|
|
unformatted (which is how most instances of "NULL" were already
|
|
|
|
formatted.)

rexec.3
|
|
|
|
mtk / Justin Pryzby
|
|
|
|
This page is taken as is from the FreeBSD 5.4 distribution.
|
|
|
|
(Not checked against Linux reality, but likely things are
|
|
|
|
the same.)
|
|
|
|
See also Debian bug 336875.

Changes to individual pages
|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
arch_prctl.2
|
|
|
|
mtk
|
|
|
|
Updated discussion about lack of prototype in glibc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
execve.2
|
|
|
|
mtk
|
|
|
|
Improved description of E2BIG error: it relates to the sum
|
|
|
|
of the bytes in both environment and argument list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fcntl.2
|
|
|
|
mtk
|
|
|
|
Clarified parts of the discussion of file leases,
|
|
|
|
noting effect of open(O_NONBLOCK), interruption
|
|
|
|
by signal handler, or termination by signal in
|
|
|
|
lease breaker.
|
|
|
|
In response to Debian bug 339037.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
stat.2
|
|
|
|
mtk / Stefan Brüns
|
|
|
|
Added LINUX NOTES describing nanosecond timestamps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
frexp.3
|
|
|
|
Volker Reichelt / mtk
|
|
|
|
Fixed to point out that that frexp() returns a number whose
|
|
|
|
*absolute* value is >= 0.5 and < 1. Amended the example
|
|
|
|
program to demonstrate this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
open.2
|
|
|
|
mtk / Avery Pennarun
|
|
|
|
Add EWOULDBLOCK error for file leases.
|
|
|
|
In response to Debian bug 339037.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
putenv.3
|
|
|
|
mtk
|
|
|
|
Although the glibc implementation returns -1 on error (and some
|
|
|
|
other man pages (e.g., the BSDs) also document that value for
|
|
|
|
error returns), SUSv3 merely says "non-zero" (and this is
|
|
|
|
what manual pages on many implementations also say).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
posix_memalign.3
|
|
|
|
mtk
|
2005-11-30 16:30:32 +00:00
|
|
|
Formerly, the page said that all systems declare memalign() in
|
2005-11-17 18:09:54 +00:00
|
|
|
<malloc.h>. In fact, many declare it in <stdlib.h>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
strtok.3
|
|
|
|
mtk
|
2005-11-30 16:30:32 +00:00
|
|
|
Almost a complete rewrite after Angelo pointed out
|
2005-11-17 18:09:54 +00:00
|
|
|
that the existing page was deficient.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sd.4
|
|
|
|
Martin Schulze
|
|
|
|
Remove SEE ALSO for non-existent scsi.4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
proc.5
|
|
|
|
mtk
|
|
|
|
Updated discussion of /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
signal.7
|
|
|
|
mtk
|
|
|
|
Added pthreads.7 to SEE ALSO.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ld.so.8
|
|
|
|
mtk
|
|
|
|
Fix typo: s/LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT/LD_PROFILE_OUTPUT/
