Kir Kolyshkin baf17bc4f2 Trivial punctuation fixes in SEE ALSO
In SEE ALSO, when a few man pages are referenced, those are divided by commas.
Every reference is on a separate line, and all lines but the last one should
end with comma. I spotted one place where there is no comma in between
references, and mocked up an awk script to find similar places:

for f in man*/*; do awk '/^.SH ["]SEE ALSO["]/ {sa=1; print "== " FILENAME " =="; print; next } /^\.(PP|SH)/ {sa=0; no=0; next} /^\.BR/ { if (sa==1) { print; if (no == 1) print "Missing comma in " FILENAME " +" FNR-1; no=0 } } /^\.BR .*)$/ { if (sa==1) no=1; next } /\.\\"/ {next} /.*/ { if (sa==1) { print; next }}' $f; done | fgrep 'Missing comma'

This patch fixes all the places found by the above script.

Also, there is an extra dot at the end of uri.7 "SEE ALSO" section.
Removed as per man-pages(7) recommendation.

The POSIX timers API is implemented (mostly) within the kernel,
so thse interfaces are system calls.  Although there are as yet
no man pages, when they are added they should be in Section 2,
not 3.  Therefore fix those pages that currently refer to these
interfaces as being in Section 3.

Michael Kerrisk 08f8825735 printf.3: Source and destination buffers may not overlap for *s*printf()
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7075

Some existing code relies on techniques like the following to
append text to a buffer:

    $ cat s.c
    #include <stdio.h>
    char buf[80] = "not ";
    main()
    {
        sprintf(buf, "%sfail", buf);
	puts(buf);
	return 0;
    }

    $ cc s.c
    $ ./a.out
    not fail

However, the standards say the results are undefined if source
and destination buffers overlap, and with suitable compiler
options, recent changes can cause unexpected results:

    $ cc -v 2>&1 | grep gcc
    gcc version 4.3.1 20080507 (prerelease) [gcc-4_3-branch revision 135036] (SUSE Linux)
    $ cc -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE -O2 s.c
    $ ./a.out
    fail

Glibc's bindresvport() takes no notice of sin->sin_port:

anonymous range (512-1023).  (Reported by Mats Wichmann.)

Also:
* Add EADDRINUSE and EACCES errors.
* Mention use of getsockname(2).
* Other minor rewrites and reorderings of the text.
* Explicitly note that glib's bindresvport() ignores
  sin->sin_port.
* Change license There's now virtually no text remaining from
  the 1.70 version of this page.

Clean up the $LANGUAGE description, by removing bogus comments
from setlocale(3) and expanding the mention in locale(7).

Maybe you will decide that a more detailed description should be left
to the gettext(3) documentation, but I actually care about the invisible
part of the patch more since the comments have put me off the track
initially ($LANGUAGE has nothing to do with setlocale(3) and is
completely isolated to gettext, as obvious from the glibc sources).

Petr Baudis 27a61e8622 dlopen.3: Describe confusing dladdr() behavior
dladdr() will act unexpectedly if called from non-pic code on a
compile-time-generated function pointer:

    /* test_dladdr.c */

    #define _GNU_SOURCE
    #include <dlfcn.h>
    #include <stdio.h>

    int
    main(void)
    {
        void *func;
        Dl_info info = {};

        func = printf;
        dladdr(func, &info);
        printf("%s at %p resolved from %s\n", info.dli_sname,
                func, info.dli_fname);

        return 0;
    }

    $ cc test_dladdr.c -ldl
    $ ./a.out
    printf at 0x804838c resolved from ./a.out
    $ cc -fPIC test_dladdr.c -ldl
    $ ./a.out
    _IO_printf at 0xb7f71c30 resolved from /lib/libc.so.6

In the long term, it might make sense to make dladdr() recognize
plt pointers and recurse, but I'm too afraid of Ulrich ;-)
(and he seems to be heavy proponent of pic code anyway, so
the chances for that to be accepted probably aren't high).
