Michael Kerrisk 10d76543fe Modify the license on these pages to be the standard verbatim license. 2008-03-18 14:47:54 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk 366a09d51b Remove out-of-date FIXME. 2008-03-18 12:08:43 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk c35a0a7c7c Link to futimes.3 2008-03-18 10:13:18 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk 4cc127252b Add documentation of lutimes(), which appeared in glibc 2.6. 
Change description in NAME line ("or" is not correct: these calls
always change *both* timestamps).
futimes() did not come from 4.2BSD.  (It came from FreeBSD; see
the FreeBSD man page.)

Michael Kerrisk 063a2574dc tfix 2008-03-18 07:44:01 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk f32682858b setenv() copies 'name' and 'value' (contrat with putenv()). 
unsetenv() of a nonexistent variable does nothing and is considered successful.
Noted that setenv() and unsetenv() need not be reentrant.
 2008-03-17 12:06:58 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk 9f6d3345d8 Noted that caller must not modify returned value string. 
Noted that getenv() is not reentrant: the buffer may be statically
allocated and overwritten by later calls to getenv(), putenv(),
setenv(), or unsettenv().
Other minor rewrites.

Michael Kerrisk 4903137bae ffix 2008-03-05 11:30:11 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk 5b475602ef Recommend use or random_r(3) for multithreaded appliucations that need 
independent, reproducible sequences of random numbers.
Move references to "The Art of Computer Programming" and "Numerical Recipes",
formerly in rand(3), to this page.
Add drand48(93) to SEE ALSO list.

Michael Kerrisk 7b16ff4951 Note that POSIX requires localtime() to act as though tzset() 
was called, but localtime_r() does not have the same requirement.
