Michael Kerrisk 6e657687f9 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=194842 
Because RAND_MAX is equal to INT_MAX, the following expression
contained in the manpage for rand(3) is slightly incorrect.
j=1+(int) (10.0*rand()/(RAND_MAX+1.0));

The correct expression should use parentheses to group the division
before the multiplication, thus yielding:
j=1+(int) (10.0*(rand()/(RAND_MAX+1.0)));

This is not an error where 10.0 is a floating point number, however
where 10.0 is replaced with an integer, this will cause the expression
to always evaluate to 1. (The addition of two parentheses would make
this bug a lot more difficult to make.)

bcopy handles overlapping case, but memcpy does not,
so for consistency memmove should be also mentioned.

    Noted use of _XOPEN_SOURCE to get macros <sytdlib.h>
    as for wait(2).

mtk
    Changed name of argument from 'string' to 'command' (like POSIX).

    Noted that glibc does nowadays explicitly check for the existence
    of the shell if 'command' is NULL, rather than the older behaviour
    of assuming the shell exists and always returning 1 if
    'command' is NULL.

    Other wording and formatting clean-ups.

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.)
