Michael Kerrisk f66524636d msgctl.2, msgget.2, msgop.2, semctl.2, semget.2, semop.2, shmctl.2, shmget.2: NOTES: <sys/types.h> and <sys/ipc.h> aren't strictly needed 
Add text to NOTES to say that the <sys/types.h> and <sys/ipc.h>
header files aren't required by Linux or the standards, but may
be needed for portability to old systems.

Michael Kerrisk 26a85bf20e svipc.7: SYNOPSIS: Remove include of <sys/types.h> and <sys/ipc.h> 
Including <sys/types.h> and <sys/ipc.h> isn't needed on Linux
and isn't really relevant for the explanation on this page.

Michael Kerrisk 548be2a60e msgctl.2, semctl.2, shmctl.2, svipc.7: Don't mention that ipc_perm is defined in <sys/ipc.h> 
There's no need to mention that the 'ipc_perm' structure
is defined in <sys/ipc.h>. That's an implementation detail,
and furthermore <sys/ipc.h> is itself included by the other
System V IPC header files. The current text might lead the
reader to conclude that they must include <sys/ipc.h>, which
is not the case (it is required neither on Linux, nor by the
standards).

Bjarni Ingi Gislason 718588ebd2 netdevice.7: Line in table too long

    nroff: netdevice.7: warning: around line 98:
    table wider than line width

Bjarni Ingi Gislason 6d909d223c suffixes.7: srcfix: Fix warnings from "grotty" 
man(1) on the present page yields errors:

    grotty: ... character above first line discarded

The culprit is "Dl 0 -xxxx" (vertical line) where "xxxx" is
one line (40 nroff units) too long.  Or there is a bug in
"grotty".  "nroff" or "tbl" makes an empty line where a page is.

The patch fixes the problem by setting the page length to
a large value.

See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=673436
