New and rewritten pages
-----------------------
move_pages.2
Christoph Lameter, various edits and improvements by mtk
Documentation of the move_pages() system call.
This page was formerly part of the numactl package, but really
belongs in man-pages (since it describes a kernel interface).
clock_getcpuclockid.3
mtk
New page documenting the clock_getcpuclockid() library function,
available since glibc 2.2.
udplite.7
Gerrit Renker
Document the Linux implementation of the UDP-Lite protocol,
new in Linux 2.6.20.
Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
---------------------------------------------
proc.5
Christoph Lameter, minor edits and improvements by mtk
Documentation of the /proc/PID/numa_maps file.
This material was formerly the numa_maps.5 page in the numactl
package, but really belongs in man-pages (since it describes
a kernel interface).
Global changes
--------------
nanosleep.2
inet_ntop.3
inet_pton.3
scanf.3
initrd.4
mtk
Fix mis-ordered (.SH) sections.
connect.2
socket.2
rtnetlink.3
arp.7
ddp.7
ip.7
ipv6.7
netlink.7
packet.7
raw.7
rtnetlink.7
socket.7
tcp.7
udp.7
unix.7
x25.7
mtk
s/PF_/AF_/ for socket family constants. Reasons: the AF_ and
PF_ constants have always had the same values; there never has
been a protocol family that had more than one address family,
and POSIX.1-2001 only specifies the AF_* constants.
Typographical or grammatical errors have been corrected in several
other places.
Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
execve.2
mtk
The floating-point environment is reset to the default
during an execve().
getitimer.2
mtk
CONFORMING TO: POSIX.1-2008 marks getitimer() and setitimer()
obsolete.
get_mempolicy.2
Lee Schermerhorn
Misc cleanup of get_mempolicy(2):
+ mention that any mode flags will be saved with mode.
I don't bother to document mode flags here because we
already have a pointer to set_mempolicy(2) for more info
on memory policy. mode flags are discussed there.
+ remove some old, obsolete [IMO] NOTES and 'roff comments.
Lee Schermerhorn
Update the get_mempolicy(2) man page to add in the description of
the MPOL_F_MEMS_ALLOWED flag, added in 2.6.23.
mtk
Document additional EINVAL error that occurs is MPOL_F_MEMS_ALLOWED
is specified with either MPOL_F_ADDR or MPOL_F_NODE.
mbind.2
Lee Schermerhorn
Fix error conditions, now that the kernel silently ignores
nodes outside the task's cpuset, as long as one valid node
remains.
Now that cpuset man page exists, we can refer to it. Remove
stale comment regarding lack thereof.
Lee Schermerhorn
Add brief discussion of mode flags.
Lee Schermerhorn
Attempt to clarify discussion of MPOL_DEFAULT.
mtk
Fix URI reference for libnuma.
mprotect.2
mtk / Maxin John
Remove EFAULT from errors. Under ENOMEM error, note that
EFAULT was the error produced in some cases for kernels before
2.4.19.
msgctl.2
mtk, after a note from Filippo Santovito
In the ipc_perm structure definition, some fields were
incorrectly named: s/key/__key/ and s/seq/__seq/.
set_mempolicy.2
Lee Schermerhorn
Fix up the error return for nodemask containing nodes disallowed by
the process' current cpuset. Disallowed nodes are now silently ignored,
as long as the nodemask contains at least one node that is on-line,
allowed by the process' cpuset and has memory.
Now that we have a cpuset man page, we can refer to cpusets directly
in the man page text.
Lee Schermerhorn
Another attempt to rationalize description of MPOL_DEFAULT.
Since ~2.6.25, the system default memory policy is "local allocation".
MPOL_DEFAULT itself is a request to remove any non-default policy and
"fall back" to the surrounding context. Try to say that without delving
into implementation details.
Lee Schermerhorn
Add discussion of mempolicy mode flags to set_mempolicy(2).
This adds another reason for EINVAL.
setpgid.2
mtk
CONFORMING TO: POSIX.1-2008 marks setpgrp() obsolete.
semctl.2
mtk, after a note from Filippo Santovito
In the ipc_perm structure definition, some fields were
incorrectly named: s/key/__key/ and s/seq/__seq/.
shmctl.2
Filippo Santovito / mtk
In the ipc_perm structure definition, some fields were
incorrectly named: s/key/__key/ and s/seq/__seq/.
utime.2
mtk
CONFORMING TO: POSIX.1-2008 marks utime() obsolete.
CONFORMING TO: POSIX.1-2008 removes the POSIX.1-2001 LEGACY

removed from the page.

is unspecified for the buf==NULL case.

Add an introductory paragraph giving an overview of what these
functions do.
Fix error in description of getwd(): it does not truncate the
pathname; rather, it gives an error if the pathname exceeds
PATH_MAX bytes.
Rewrote RETURN VALUE section.
Add EINVAL ENAMETOOLONG errors for getwd().
Various other clarifications and wording fixes.

Remove text about FLT_ROUNDS, replacing with a cross-reference
to fenv(3).
fpclassify.3
mtk
CONFORMING TO: Note that the standards provide a weaker guarantee

instead of a pole error.
y0.3
mtk
In glibc 2.3.2 and earlier, these functions do not raise an
FE_INVALID exception for a domain error.
math_error.7
mtk
Rewrite introductory paragraph.
Point out that a NaN is commonly returned by functions that report
a domain error.
