|
||||
getnetent_r.3
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Documents getnetent_r(), getnetbyname_r(),
|
||||
and getnetbyaddr_r(), the reentrant equivalents of
|
||||
getnetent(), getnetbyname(), and getnetbyaddr().
|
||||
|
||||
getprotoent_r.3
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Documents getprotoent_r(), getprotobyname_r(), and
|
||||
getprotobynumber_r(), the reentrant equivalents of
|
||||
getprotoent(), getprotobyname(), and getprotobynumber().
|

|
||||
getrpcent_r.3
|
||||
mtk
|

||||
Documents getservent_r(), getservbyname_r(), and
|
||||

|
||||
getservent(), getservbyname(), and getservbyport().
|
||||
|
||||
numa.7
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
A new page giving overview details for the Linux NUMA interfaces.
|
||||
Incorporates some material from mbind.2, and the description
|
||||
of /proc/PID/numa_maps from proc.5.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
|
||||
---------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
crypt.3
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Add description of crypt_r().
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
New and changed links
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
crypt.3
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
New link to crypt.3.
|
||||
|
||||
getnetbyname_r.3
|
||||
getnetbyaddr_r.3
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
New links to new getnetent_r.3.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
New links to new getservent_r.3.
|
||||
|
||||
numa_maps.5
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Link to new numa(7) page, which incorporates the
|
||||
/proc/PID/numa_maps description.
|
||||
As part of the numactl() package, the /proc/PID/numa_maps
|
||||
documentation was in a numa_maps.5 page; this link
|
||||
ensures that "man 5 numa_maps" still works.
|
||||
(Eventually, we may want to remove this link.)
|
||||

||||

||||

Changes to individual pages
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
eventfd.2
|
||||
Vijay Kumar
|
||||
When an eventfd overflows, select() indicates the file as both
|
||||
readable and writable (not as having an exceptional condition).
|
||||
|
||||
fcntl.2
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC is specified in POSIX.1-2008.

gettimeofday.2

|
||||
CONFORMING TO: POSIX.1-2008 marks gettimeofday() as obsolete.
|
||||
|
||||
link.2
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Note kernel version where Linux stopped following symbolic
|
||||
links in 'oldpath'; see also http://lwn.net/Articles/294667.
|
||||
POSIX.1-2008 makes it implementation-dependent whether or not
|
||||
'oldpath' is dereferenced if it is a symbolic link.
|
||||
Add a reference to linkat(2) for an interface that allows
|
||||
precise control of the treatment of symbolic links.
|
||||
|
||||
mbind.2
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Remove material on library support and numactl; that material
|
||||
is now in numactl.7.
|
||||
|
||||
mmap.2
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Add kernel version numbers for MAP_32BIT.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
move_pages.2
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Added VERSIONS (from kernel 2.6.18) and CONFORMING TO sections.
|
||||
|
||||
open.2
|
||||
mtk
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
socket.2
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
s/d/domain/ for name of argument.
|
||||
Add reference to socket(2) for further information on
|
||||
domain, type, and protocol arguments.
|
||||
|
||||
utimensat.2
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
CONFORMING TO: POSIX.1-2008 specifies utimensat() and futimens().
|
||||
|
||||
dirfd.3
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
CONFORMING TO: Add POSIX.1-2008; other minor changes.
|
||||
|
||||
exec.3
|
||||
mtk

||||
Small rewording: "s/returned/failed with/ [an error]".
|
||||
|
||||
fmemopen.3
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Since glibc 2.7, it is possible to seek past the end of
|
||||
a stream created by open_memstream(). Add a BUGS section
|
||||
describing the bug in earlier glibc versions.
|
||||
|
||||
gethostbyname.3
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Clarify exactly which functions are obsoleted by getnameinfo()
|
||||
and getaddrinfo().
|
||||
|
||||
getnetent.3
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Rephrase description in terms of a database, rather than a file.
|
||||
Note that each of the get*() functions opens a connection to
|
||||
the database if necessary.
|
||||
The database connection is held open between get*() calls if
|
||||
'stayopen' is non-zero (not necessarily 1).
|
||||
s/zero terminated list/NULL-terminated list/
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
In glibc 2.2, the type of the 'net' argument for getnetbyaddr()
|
||||
changed from 'long' to 'uint32_t'.
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Note that the gethostbyaddr() 'net" argument is in host byte order.
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
RETURN VALUE: emphasize that returned pointer points to a
|
||||
statically allocated structure.
|
||||
SEE ALSO: add getnetent_r.3.
|
||||
|
||||
getprotoent.3
|
||||

|
||||
getrpcent.3
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
s/rpc/RPC/.
|
||||
Rephrase description in terms of a database, rather than a file.
|
||||
Note that each of the get*() functions opens a connection to
|
||||
the database if necessary.
|
||||

|
||||
mtk
|
||||
RETURN VALUE: emphasize that returned pointer points to a
|
||||
statically allocated structure.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
realpath.3
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Relocate text for resolved_path==NULL case to DESCRIPTION.
|
||||
POSIX.1-2001 leaves the resolved_path==NULL case as
|
||||
implementation-defined; POSIX.1-2008 specifies the behavior
|
||||
described in this man page.
|
||||
|
||||
sem_init.3
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
POSIX.1-2008 rectifies the POSIX.1-2001 omission, specifying

|
||||
|
||||
core.5
|
||||
Mike Bianchi / mtk
|
||||
Make the page more helpful to non-programmers by referencing

||||
discussion of RLIMIT_CORE and RLIMIT_FSIZE.

|
||||
kernels before 2.6.25.
|
||||
