All definitions of the Epoch have been refactored to the following:
1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC)
That form is more consistent, logical, precise, and internationally
recognizable than the other variants.
Also, some wording has been altered as well.

Or maybe "choices" could be replaced by "algorithms".

man complex (from release 3.18) contains the following code:
complex z = cexp(I * pi);
Reading the C99 standard, "complex" is not a valid type, and several
compilers (Intel ICC, ARM RVCT) will refuse to compile.
It should be
double complex z = cexp(I * pi);
instead.

Gallmeister and Lewine are rather old books. Probably,
there are better books to consult nowadays, and anyway,
this man page isn't intended to be a bibliography.

From glibc 2.10, <features.h> understands the values 200809
for _POSIX_C_SOURCE and 700 for _XOPEN_SOURCE, and makes
corresponding changes to defaults for other feature test macros.

Nowadays mandb has provision to understand a character set
encoding that is explicitly indicated in the first line
of the source. As pointed out by Colin Watson, including
such an explicit indication on pages encoded in anything
other than ISO 8859-1 or UTF-8 is useful for man-pages
that aren't shipped in UTF-8.

Probably it's clearer to describe the length of the IPC object
name as a count that excludes the null terminator.
Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>
Because of the "sem." prefix added by glibc to a semaphore
name, the limit on the length of the name (excluding the
terminating null byte) is 251 characters.

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.
