Changes to individual pages
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
clone.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Since 2.6.30, CLONE_NEWIPC also supports POSIX message queues
|
||||
|
||||
delete_module.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Small rewording of description of effect of O_TRUNC
|
||||
|
||||
getrlimit.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk [Trevor Woerner]
|
||||
Document Linux's nonstandard treatment or RLIMIT_CPU soft limit
|
||||
Upon encountering the RLIMIT_CPU soft limit when a SIGXCPU handler
|
||||
has been installed, Linux invokes the signal handler *and* raises
|
||||
the soft limit by one second. This behavior repeats until the
|
||||
limit is encountered. No other implementation that I tested
|
||||
(Solaris 10, FreeBSD 9.0, OpenBSD 5.0) does this, and it seems
|
||||
unlikely to be POSIX-conformant. The (Linux-specific)
|
||||
RLIMIT_RTTIME soft limit exhibits similar behavior.
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Point reader at discussion of /proc/[pid]/limits in proc(5)
|
||||
|
||||
io_getevents.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
io_getevents() may cause segfault when called with invalid ctx_id
|
||||
For reference see: http://marc.info/?l=linux-aio&m=130089887002435&w=2
|
||||
|
||||
recv.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk [Eric Dumazet]
|
||||
UNIX domain sockets support MSG_TRUNC since 3.4
|
||||
|
||||
sendmmsg.2
|
||||
Elie De Brauwer
|
||||
Add example program for sendmmsg()
|
||||
|
||||
stat.2
|
||||
Simon Paillard
|
||||
Clarify description of EOVERFLOW error
|
||||
The EOVERFLOW error is not only for st_size, but also
|
||||
inode and block size fields. See glibc source file
|
||||
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/xstatconv.c and kernel source
|
||||
file fs/stat.c. Also, fix bit/byte confusion
|
||||
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604928
|
||||
|
||||
syscalls.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||

||||
Add s390_runtime_instr(2)

||||
sysctl.2
|
||||

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
syslog.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Substantially reorganize discussion of commands
|
||||
Make the layout of the discussion of the commands
|
||||
more readable.
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Add kernel symbolic 'type' names
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Clarify SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_UNREAD semantics
|
||||
SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_UNREAD returns the number of bytes
|
||||
available for reading via SYSLOG_ACTION_READ.
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Clarify where SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL places data it reads
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Clarify semantics of SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR
|
||||
The SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR command (5) does not really clear
|
||||
the ring buffer; rather it affects the semantics of what
|
||||
is returned by commands 3 (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL) and
|
||||
4 (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_CLEAR).
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||

memcmp.3
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk [Jon Grant]

||||
Enhance RETURN VALUE text and remove redundant text from DESCRIPTION
|
||||
Note that sign of result equals sign of difference between
|
||||
first two bytes that differ (treated as "unsigned char")."
|
||||
|
||||
mkstemp.3
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk [Florian Weimer]
|
||||
Deemphasize discussion of mode 066 in glibc 2.0.6
|
||||
Glibc 2.0.6 is now so ld that the discussion of details
|
||||
of that version can be deemphasized placing just under
|
||||
NOTES.
|
||||
|
||||
See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51811
|
||||
|
||||

ttyname.3
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Fix confused text in ERRORS

||||
The existing text suggested that the ERRORS applied
|
||||

|
||||
can occur for ttyname().

||||
Gao Feng

||||
Add description of getsockopt() for IPV6_MTU
|
||||
In IPv4,IP_MTU is only supported by getsockopt.
|
||||
In IPv6, we can use IPV6_MTU to set socket's MTU,
|
||||
but the return value of getsockopt() is the path MTU.
|
||||

||||
