ctime.3
|

|

Note that POSIX requires localtime() to act as though tzset()
|

was called, but localtime_r() does not have the same requirement.
|
||||

getaddrinfo.3
|

|
||||
|
||||
proc.5
|
||||
Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao
|
||||
Update /proc/[number]/cmdline description.
|
||||
It used to be true that the command line arguments were
|
||||
not accessible when the process had been swapped out.
|
||||
In ancient kernels (circa 2.0.*) the problem was that the
|
||||
kernel relied on get_phys_addr to access the user space buffer,
|
||||
which stopped working as soon as the process was swapped out.
|
||||
Recent kernels use get_user_pages for the same purpose and thus
|
||||
they should not have that limitation.
|
||||
|
||||
epoll.7
|
||||
Davide Libenzi / mtk
|
||||
Clarify the somewhat unintuitive behavior that occurs if a file
|
||||
descriptor in an epoll set is closed while other file descriptors
|
||||
referring to the same underlying open file description remain
|
||||
open.
|
||||
See also http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/596462/.
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Clarify error that occurs if we add an epoll fd to its own set.
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
A few minor rewordings.
|
||||
mtk, after a note by Chris Heath
|
||||
Rework Q1/A1, describing what happens when adding the same
|
||||
file descriptor twice to an epoll set, and when adding duplicate
|
||||
file descriptors to the same epoll set.
|
||||
Heikki Orsila / mtk / Davide Libenzi
|
||||
Clarify Q9/A9 to discuss packet/token-oriented files.
|
||||
mtk, after comments by Devide Libenzi and Chris Heath
|
||||
Added Q0/A0, making explicit that the key for items in an epoll
|
||||
set is [file descriptor, open file description].
|
||||
mtk, after a note by Ron Burk
|
||||
Change A3, to note that when events are available,
|
||||
the epoll file descriptor will indicate as being readable.
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Add some further explanation to Q5/A5 about why an epoll file
|
||||
descriptor cannot be passed across a Unix domain socket.
|
