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.)
|
|
|
|
|

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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-11-17 17:59:37 +00:00
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
Formerly, the pge said that all systems declare memalign() in
|
|
|
|
|
<malloc.h>. In fact, many declare it in <stdlib.h>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
strtok.3
|
|
|
|
|
mtk
|
|
|
|
|
Almost a complete rewrite after Angleo pointed out
|
|
|
|
|
that the existing page was deficient.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sd.4
|
|
|
|
|
Martin Schulze
|
|
|
|
|
Remove SEE ALSO for non-existent scsi.4.
|
|
|
|
|
|

proc.5
|
|
|
|
|
mtk
|
2005-11-17 17:59:37 +00:00
|
|
|
Updated discussion of /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max.
|
2005-11-14 13:26:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2005-11-17 17:59:37 +00:00

|
|
signal.7
|
|
|
|
|
mtk
|
|
|
|
|
Added pthreads.7 to SEE ALSO.

|
|
|
