Michael Kerrisk
Make source layout of 'Link with' text consistent with other pages
No actual change to formatted output, but this makes the
page sources more consistent for the purpose of grepping, etc.
mempcpy.3
signbit.3
significand.3
Michael Kerrisk
Global fix: acknowledge FSF in copyright
These pages are heavily based on original material in
glibc info pages, but the comments in the source of the pages
did not acknowledge the FRF copyright on the original material.
Fix that.
accept.2
read.2
recv.2
send.2
write.2
Michael Kerrisk
Fix discussion of EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK errors
For a non-blocking socket, POSIX.1-2001/2008 allow either
EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK to be returned in cases where a call
would have blocked. Although these constants are defined
with the same value on most Linux architectures (PA-RISC
is the exception), POSIX.1 does not require them to have
the same value. Therefore, a portable application using
the sockets API should test for both errors when checking
this case.
(NB POSIX.1 only mentions EWOULDBLOCK in the context of
the sockets interfaces.)
Change made after a note cross-posted on linux-arch@vger,
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.ports.hppa/5615
and a suggestion for write(2) from Carlos O'Donell

Add explicit character set encoding to first line of source
Nowadays mandb has provision to understand a character set
encoding that is explicitly indicated in the first line
of the source. As pointed out by Colin Watson, including
such an explicit indication on pages encoded in anything
other than ISO 8859-1 or UTF-8 is useful for man-pages
that aren't shipped in UTF-8.
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=519209
and for some other background (responded to by Colin Watson
in the above report):

Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
fallocate.2
Michael Kerrisk
VERSIONS: glibc support is provided since version 2.10
fcntl.2
Michael Kerrisk
Remove mention of EWOULDBLOCK from discussion of mandatory locking
In the kernel, the error on encountering a mandatory lock is
EAGAIN. Although EAGAIN and EWOULDBLOCK are the same on
most Linux architectures, on some they are not, so don't
mention EWOULDBLOCK as it is misleading. (Mea culpa.)
getcontext.2
Michael Kerrisk
Note that POSIX.1-2008 removes the specification of getcontext()
getitimer.2
Michael Kerrisk
Note that POSIX.1-2008 recommends POSIX timers API instead of this API
gettimeofday.2
Michael Kerrisk
Note that POSIX.1-2008 recommends clock_gettime() instead of this API
ptrace.2
Michael Kerrisk
Note use of 'data' for PTRACE_SYS{CALL,EMU} and PTRACE_*_SINGLESTEP
These operations use the 'data' argument as a signal number,
like PTRACE_CONT.
ptrace.2
Mike Frysinger
only reference <sys/user.h>
The kernel no longer installs linux/user.h, so update
references to sys/user.h.
recv.2
Michael Kerrisk
Add 'iovec' defn to defn of 'msghdr' structure
The 'msghdr' structure includes a field of type 'iovec',
so show the definition of that structure in this page.
rename.2
Michael Kerrisk
Make ENOENT description consistent with POSIX.1-2008
timerfd_create.2
Michael Kerrisk
ERRORS: add EINVAL for invalid 'flags' for timer_settime()
truncate.2
Michael Kerrisk
SYNOPSIS: Fix description of feature test macro requirements
After a report by Arvid Norlander.
bcopy.3
Michael Kerrisk
Note that POSIX.1-2008 removes specification of bcopy()
bsd_signal.3
Michael Kerrisk
Note that POSIX.1-2008 recommends sigaction(2) instead of this API
ctime.3
Michael Kerrisk
Note that POSIX.1-2008 recommends strftime(3) instead of these functions
ecvt.3
Michael Kerrisk
Note that POSIX.1-2008 recommends sprintf(3) instead of these functions
gcvt.3
Michael Kerrisk
Note that POSIX.1-2008 recommends sprintf(3) instead of this function
getcwd.3
Michael Kerrisk
Note that getcwd() should be used instead of the obsolete getwd()
getgrent.3
Michael Kerrisk
Returned buffer may be statically allocated and overwritten by
later calls
gethostbyname.3
Michael Kerrisk
POSIX.1-2008 recommends getaddrinfo(3) and getnameinfo(3) instead
getnetent_r.3
Michael Kerrisk
Fix function name in text: s/getnetbynumber_r/getnetbyaddr_r/
The SYNOPSIS showed the right function name (getnetbyaddr_r),
but the text repeatedly used the wrong name (getnetbynumber_r).
Probably, this was a cut-and-paste error.
getpwent.3
Michael Kerrisk
Returned buffer may be statically allocated and overwritten by
later calls
index.3

lockf.3

makecontext.3
Michael Kerrisk
Note that POSIX.1-2008 recommends the use of POSIX threads instead
mq_notify.3
Michael Kerrisk
Document the POSIX.1-2008 optional EINVAL error
POSIX.1-2008 allows an optional EINVAL error if
notification==NULL and the caller is not currently
registered to receive notifications.
posix_fallocate.3
Michael Kerrisk
Clarify that EINVAL also occurs of 'len' *equals* zero
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12919
posix_fallocate.3
Michael Kerrisk
Document POSIX.1-2001 and POSIX.1-2008 specifications for EINVAL error

posix_memalign.3
Michael Kerrisk
Document handling of size==0 case for posix_memalign()
pthread_exit.3
Michael Kerrisk
Fix error in DESCRIPTION: s/pthread_create/pthread_exit/
realpath.3
Michael Kerrisk
Rework resolved_path==NULL discussion w.r.t. POSIX.1-200[18]
Although the page already mentioned the resolved_path==NULL
feature, and that this feature was added in POSIX.1-2008, there
was still some crufty text in BUGS that hadn't been updated to
reflect the POSIX.1-2008 changes.
Also, some other minor wording and grammar fixes.
scalb.3
Michael Kerrisk
Note that POSIX.1-2008 recommends scalbln*(3) instead
seekdir.3
Michael Kerrisk
SYNOPSIS: Fix type of 'offset' argument: s/off_t/long/
And add a NOTES section pointing out that 'off_t'
was indeed used in glibc 2.1.1 and earlier.
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=519230
sem_post.3
Michael Kerrisk
Document EOVERFLOW error
shm_open.3
Michael Kerrisk
Recast discussion on name length to exclude terminating NULL byte
Probably it's clearer to describe the length of the IPC object
name as a count that excludes the null terminator.
siginterrupt.3
Michael Kerrisk
Note that POSIX.1-2008 recommends sigaction() instead
sigset.3
Michael Kerrisk
Note APIs that POSIX.1-2008 recommends instead of these obsolete APIs
strftime.3
Michael Kerrisk
Small fix to description of %G
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=516677
strftime.3
Michael Kerrisk
Add details on ISO 8601 week-based dates
ISO 8602 week-based dates are relevant for %G, %g, and %V,
and the existing details on these dates are a little thin.
strftime.3
Michael Kerrisk
Remove mention of year from ISO 8601 standard
The text mentioned the 1988 8601 standard, but there have
already been two revisions of the standard since then, so
simply remove mention of the year.
telldir.3
Michael Kerrisk
SYNOPSIS: Fix return type: s/off_t/long/
And add a NOTES section pointing out that 'off_t'
was indeed used in glibc 2.1.1 and earlier.
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=519230

Note that on some systems, <=, >=, == don't work for timercmp()
timeradd.3
Michael Kerrisk
SYNOPSIS: Fix return types of timerisset() and timercmp()

Michael Kerrisk
Add description of /srv
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=520904
ip.7
Michael Kerrisk
Fix type used to declare sin6_port
The page should use the type specified by POSIX,
rather than the (equivalent) type used in the kernel
ipv6.7
Teddy Hogeborn
Fix types used to declare sin6_family and sin6_port
The page should use the types specified by POSIX,
rather than the (equivalent) types used in the kernel.
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=517074
mq_overview.7
Michael Kerrisk
Recast discussion on name length to exclude terminating NULL byte
Probably it's clearer to describe the length of the IPC object
name as a count that excludes the null terminator.
rtld-audit.7
Michael Kerrisk
Note that multiple libraries in LD_AUDIT doesn't work
This is reportedly fixed in glibc 2.10.
See http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9733
sem_overview.7
Michael Kerrisk
Fix discussion of length of semaphore names
Because of the "sem." prefix added by glibc to a semaphore

terminating null byte) is 251 characters.
