Global changes
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
Many math pages had their synopses compressed, as per suggestion
|
||||
from Fabian Kreutz.
|
||||
|
||||
Many minor content and formatting bug fixes were made to the math
|
||||
pages, following suggestions from Fabian Kreutz (who recently
|
||||
translated many of the 1.70 math pages into German) and
|
||||
Andries Brouwer.
|
||||
|
||||
For consistency, all instances "super-user" were changed to the more
|
||||
common "superuser".
|
||||
|
||||
After a note from Vasya Pupkin, I added <errno.h> to the SYNOPSIS
|
||||
of several Section 2 pages using the _syscallN() macros.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition:
|
||||
-- erroneous semicolons at the end of _syscallN() were removed
|
||||
on various pages.
|
||||
|
||||
-- types such as "uint" in syscalN() declarations were changed
|
||||
to "unsigned int", etc.
|
||||
|
||||
-- various other minor breakages in the synopses were fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
The affected pages are:
|
||||

||||
getdents.2
