Global changes
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
Various pages
|
||||
Several pages
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Where there is an instruction in the SYNOPSIS about linking
|
||||
or compiling with a certain option, the option is now
|
||||
marked up in italics (e.g., "\fI-lm\fP").
|
||||
|
||||
Various pages
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Added page numbers to page cross references.
|
||||
|
||||
A few pages
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
s/manpage/man page/, for consistency.
|
||||
Change reference to path_resolution.2 to path_resolutiion.7.
|
||||
|
||||
Typographical or grammatical errors have been corrected in several
|
||||
places.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
New pages
|
||||
---------
|
||||
Moved pages
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
man-pages.7
|
||||
path_resolution.2 has been moved to section 7, thus path_resolution.2
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
A description of the conventions that should be followed
|
||||
when writing pages for the man-pages package.
|
||||
|
||||
Removed pages
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
man1/README
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Already deleted most of the man1 pages previously, so
|
||||
this doesn't need to stay.
|
||||
|
||||
LDP.7
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Removed this page since it is out of date, and the proper place
|
||||
to go for up-to-date information is http://www.tldp.org/.
|
||||
|
||||
ksoftirq.9
|
||||
mtk
|
||||
Reason: this was the only Section 9 page, and it is old
|
||||
(Linux 2.4). The man9 section never took off as an idea, and
|
||||
I see little point in keeping a Section 9 with just a single
|
||||
old page.
|
||||
Reason: this is an overview page, not a one describing as
|
||||
a specific system call.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Changes to individual pages

mremap.2

ioctl_list.2

complex.7
