Bug filed (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8408)
to get this changed, but maybe that won't be done because it
is an ABI change.

Michael Kerrisk 0579929938 tripped some excess/outdated text from the BUGS section. 2007-03-06 06:37:48 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk 87f434dfce If sops contains multiple operations, then these are performed 
in array order.  All Unix systems that I know of do this,
and some Linux applications depend on this behaviour.  SUSv3
made no explicit statement here, but SUSv3 will explicitly
require this behaviour.
Small rewording of explanation of "atomically".
