clone.2
|

Michael Kerrisk
|

Since 2.6.30, CLONE_NEWIPC also supports POSIX message queues
|
||||
|
||||
delete_module.2
|

Michael Kerrisk

Small rewording of description of effect of O_TRUNC

|

getrlimit.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk [Trevor Woerner]
|
||||
Document Linux's nonstandard treatment or RLIMIT_CPU soft limit
|
||||
Upon encountering the RLIMIT_CPU soft limit when a SIGXCPU handler
|
||||
has been installed, Linux invokes the signal handler *and* raises
|
||||
the soft limit by one second. This behavior repeats until the
|
||||
limit is encountered. No other implementation that I tested
|
||||
(Solaris 10, FreeBSD 9.0, OpenBSD 5.0) does this, and it seems
|
||||
unlikely to be POSIX-conformant. The (Linux-specific)
|
||||
RLIMIT_RTTIME soft limit exhibits similar behavior.
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Point reader at discussion of /proc/[pid]/limits in proc(5)

io_getevents.2
|

Elie De Brauwer
|
||||
Add example program for sendmmsg()
|
||||
|
||||
stat.2
|
||||
Simon Paillard
|
||||
Clarify description of EOVERFLOW error
|
||||
The EOVERFLOW error is not only for st_size, but also
|
||||
inode and block size fields. See glibc source file
|
||||
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/xstatconv.c and kernel source
|
||||
file fs/stat.c. Also, fix bit/byte confusion
|
||||
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604928
|
||||
|
||||
syscalls.2

||||
Add kernel symbolic 'type' names
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Clarify SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_UNREAD semantics
|

SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_UNREAD returns the number of bytes
|
||||
available for reading via SYSLOG_ACTION_READ.
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Clarify where SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL places data it reads
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Clarify semantics of SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR
|
||||
The SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR command (5) does not really clear
|
||||
the ring buffer; rather it affects the semantics of what
|
||||
is returned by commands 3 (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL) and
|

4 (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_CLEAR).

Glibc 2.0.6 is now so ld that the discussion of details
|

of that version can be deemphasized placing just under

Fix confused text in ERRORS

In IPv6, we can use IPV6_MTU to set socket's MTU,
|

but the return value of getsockopt() is the path MTU.
