Michael Kerrisk 0c00f46ce7 Cartsen Hey 
as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=276248

    Changed range for "%S" from 0..61 to 0..60.

    SUSv3 says 0..60.  I think the manual page probably says
    0..61, because that's what SUSv2 said.
    (Some other implementations' man pages also say 0..61 --
    e.g., Solaris 8 & 9, Tru64 5.1B; FreeBSD 5.1 says 0..60.)

    The glibc manual currently says 0..60.

    Given that SUSv3 says 0..60, I've changed this the
    manual page to also say this:

        -The second as a decimal number (range 00 to 61).
        +The second as a decimal number (range 00 to 60).
        +(The range is up to 60 to allow for occasional leap seconds.)

Michael Kerrisk 898e9a87df Hello Joey, 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=205736

[[
This example contains the following line:

    if ((p = realloc (p, size)) == NULL)
       return NULL;

This is a very ill written code, since realloc returning
NULL do not deallocate the original memory block. Such a 
statement has a potential to become significant memory
hole. I suggest to correct this example since:

1. It may trick naive programmers to write bad code
2. It may lead skeptic observers to the believe 
   the whole Linux is written in a similar style.
   

Regards Jan Kuznik 
]]

This guy is right on the money!

I've changed that example, so that the above code has been replaced by:

    char *np;

    ...


    if ((np = realloc (p, size)) == NULL) {
        free(p);
        return NULL;
    } else {
        p = np;
    }

Cheers,

Michael

shm_open(3) refers to O_RWDR during discussion of the possible values of

incorrect (likely a typo) and should be changed to O_RDWR.
