Global changes
--------------
Various pages
Kir Kolyshkin
Trivial punctuation fixes in SEE ALSO
In SEE ALSO, when a few man pages are referenced, those
are divided by commas. Every reference is on a separate
line, and all lines but the last one should end with
comma. I spotted one place where there is no comma in
between references, and mocked up an awk script to find
similar places:
for f in man*/*; do
awk '
/^.SH ["]SEE ALSO["]/ {
sa=1; print "== " FILENAME " =="; print; next
}
/^\.(PP|SH)/ {
sa=0; no=0; next
}
/^\.BR/ {
if (sa==1) {
print;
if (no == 1)
print "Missing comma in " FILENAME " +" FNR-1; no=0
}
}
/^\.BR .*)$/ {
if (sa==1)
no=1;
next
}
/\.\\"/ {next}
/.*/ {
if (sa==1) {
print; next
}
}
' $f;
done | fgrep 'Missing comma'
This patch fixes all the places found by the above script.
Also, there is an extra dot at the end of uri.7 "SEE ALSO"
section. Removed as per man-pages(7) recommendation.
Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
getitimer.2, clock_getcpuclockid.3, time.7
Michael Kerrisk
SEE ALSO: add timer_create(2)
getitimer.2
Michael Kerrisk
Rename arguments for consistency with other timer pages
Also some other minor wording improvements
splice.2
Mark Hills
ERRORS: Add EINVAL case for file opened O_APPEND
Target file cannot be opened in append (O_APPEND) mode
In kernels prior to v2.6.27 splice() to a file in
append mode is broken, and since that version it is
disallowed. It is possible this behaviour may change
in the future; see the kernel commit message
(efc968d450e013049a662d22727cf132618dcb2f) for more
information.

Michael Kerrisk
Note that getpmsg(2) and putmsg(2) are unimplemented
See See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514771

Michael Kerrisk
ERRORS: add EFAULT

Michael Kerrisk
