New and rewritten pages

fgetc.3
|
||||
gets.3
|
||||
David Malcolm
|
||||
Split gets(3) to isolate unsafe gets(3) to a page on its own
|
||||
Currently man3/gets.3 documents various safe I/O functions, along
|
||||
with the toxic "gets" function.
|
||||
|
||||
At the risk of being melodramatic, this strikes me as akin to
|
||||
storing rat poison in a food cabinet, in the same style of
|
||||
packaging as the food, but with a post-it note on it saying
|
||||
"see warnings below".
|
||||
|
||||
I think such "never use this" functions should be quarantined
|
||||
into their own manpages, rather than listing them alongside
|
||||
sane functions.
|
||||
|
||||
The attached patch does this for "gets", moving the documentation
|
||||
of the good functions from man3/gets.3 into man3/fgetc.3,
|
||||
updating the SO links in the relevant functions to point at the
|
||||
latter.
|
||||
|
||||
It then rewrites man3/gets.3 to spell out that "gets" is toxic
|
||||
and should never be used (with a link to CWE-242 for good
|
||||
measure).

Improve description of CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID
|
||||
See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67291
|
||||
|
||||
close.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk [P?draig Brady]
|
||||
Note that errors from close() should be used only for diagnosis
|
||||
In particular, retrying after EINTR is a bad idea.
|
||||
|
||||
See http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=529
|
||||
|
||||
See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.glibc.alpha/37702

||||
Vince Weaver [Sudhanshu Goswami]
|
||||
Clarify issues with the disabled bit
|
||||
Clarify the perf_event_open behavior with respect to the disabled
|
||||

Clarify issues with the exclusive bit
|
||||
Warn that using the perf_event_open "exclusive" bit, while

it might seem like a good idea, might lead to all 0 results
|
||||
in some common usage cases.
|
||||
|
||||
reboot.2
|
||||
Elie De Brauwer
|
||||
Mention RB_POWER_OFF
|
||||
The manpage did not mention RB_POWER_OFF which is the glibc
|
||||
symbolic name for LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_POWER_OFF.
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd /usr/include
|
||||
$ cat x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/reboot.h | grep POWER_OFF
|
||||
define RB_POWER_OFF 0x4321fedc

|
||||
Linux AF_INET supports SOCK_SEQPACKET via SCTP.
|
||||
|
||||
syscall.2
|
||||
Mike Frysinger
|
||||
Fix ia64 registers
|
||||
The original list of registers was created by confusing strace
|
||||
source code--this is for parsing legacy 32-bit code (which is
|
||||
dead and no one cares). Update the list to reflect native ia64
|
||||
syscall interface.
|
||||
|
||||
syscall.2
|
||||
syscalls.2
|
||||
getauxval.3

||||
Correct description of how '*n' is used when '*lineptr' == NULL
|
||||
See https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5468
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Remove SEE ALSO reference to unsafe gets(3)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
Simon Paillard [Raphael Geissert]
|
||||
typo in compiler flag
|
||||
See http://bugs.debian.org/732464

Better describe 'flags' that can be specified for mkostemp()

printf.3
|

Fix memory leak in snprintf() example

pthread_kill.3
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk [Mathieu Desnoyers]
|
||||
POSIX.1-2008 removes ESRCH
|
||||
POSIX.1-2001 mistakenly documented an ESRCH error, and
|
||||
POSIX.1-2008 removes this error. Glibc does return
|
||||
this error in cases where it can determine that a thread ID
|
||||
is invalid, but equally, the use of an invalid thread ID
|
||||
can cause a segmentation fault.
|
||||
|
||||
puts.3
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
SEE ALSO: replace reference to gets(3) with fgets(3)
|
||||

|
||||
Split gets(3) to isolate unsafe gets(3) to a page on its own
|
||||
Currently man3/gets.3 documents various safe I/O functions, along
|
||||
with the toxic "gets" function.
|
||||
|
||||
At the risk of being melodramatic, this strikes me as akin to
|
||||
storing rat poison in a food cabinet, in the same style of
|
||||
packaging as the food, but with a post-it note on it saying
|
||||
"see warnings below".
|
||||
|
||||
I think such "never use this" functions should be quarantined
|
||||
into their own manpages, rather than listing them alongside
|
||||
sane functions.
|
||||
|
||||
The attached patch does this for "gets", moving the documentation
|
||||
of the good functions from man3/gets.3 into man3/fgetc.3,
|
||||
updating the SO links in the relevant functions to point at the
|
||||
latter.
|
||||
|
||||
It then rewrites man3/gets.3 to spell out that "gets" is toxic
|
||||
and should never be used (with a link to CWE-242 for good
|
||||
measure).

Fix ia64 registers
|
||||
The original list of registers was created by confusing strace
|

syscall interface.

POSIX.1-2008 removes ESRCH
|

POSIX.1-2001 mistakenly documented an ESRCH error, and
|
||||
POSIX.1-2008 removes this error. Glibc does return
|
||||
this error in cases where it can determine that a thread ID
|
||||
is invalid, but equally, the use of an invalid thread ID
|

can cause a segmentation fault.
