Michael Kerrisk 7e919b7a1e tfix 2008-08-10 15:10:45 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk 756ede2e38 BUGS: In glibc 2.3.3, tgamma(+-0) produced a domain error 
instead of a pole error.
 2008-08-10 15:10:08 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk 078dfbb054 BUGS: Note the bogus FE_INVALID exception that occurred in glibc 
2.3.2 and earlier on overflow and underflow.

Michael Kerrisk b4338c3fac Restore text about PATH_MAX (it may no be a compile-time constant; 
its value may depend on the file system).

Michael Kerrisk c359e37d82 Clarify description of getcwd() for buf==NULL case; 
CONFORMING TO: According to POSIX.1, the behavior of getcwd()
is unspecified for the buf==NULL case.
Add an introductory paragraph giving an overview of what these functions do.
Fix error in description of getwd(): it does not truncate the
pathname; rather, it gives an error if the pathname exceeds PATH_MAX bytes.
Rewrote RETURN VALUE section.
Add EINVAL ENAMETOOLONG errors for getwd().
Various other clarifications and wording fixes.
CONFORMING TO: POSIX.1-2001 does not define any errors for getwd().

Michael Kerrisk 20ca75a0d7 Lee Schermerhorn 
Update the get_mempolicy(2) man page to add in the description of
the MPOL_F_MEMS_ALLOWED flag, added in 2.6.23.
mtk
Document additional EINVAL error that occurs is MPOL_F_MEMS_ALLOWED
is specified with either MPOL_F_ADDR or MPOL_F_NODE.

Michael Kerrisk 63e28ad443 Lee Schermerhorn 
Misc cleanup of get_mempolicy(2):
+ mention that any mode flags will be saved with mode.
I don't bother to document mode flags here because we
already have a pointer to set_mempolicy(2) for more info
on memory policy.  mode flags are discussed there.
+ remove some old, obsolete [IMO] NOTES and 'roff comments.

Michael Kerrisk d4c8c97c31 s/PF_/AF_/ for socket family constants. Reasons: the AF_ and 
PF_ constants have always had the same values; there never has
been a protocol family that had more than one address family,
and POSIX.1-2001 only specifies the AF_* constants.

Michael Kerrisk bfcecf8a76 Fix error conditions, now that the kernel silently ignores 
nodes outside the task's cpuset, as long as one valid node remains.

Now that cpuset man page exists, we can refer to it.  Remove
stale comment regarding lack thereof.

Michael Kerrisk cdba92536d Lee Schermerhorn 
Fix up the error return for nodemask containing nodes disallowed by
the process' current cpuset.  Disallowed nodes are now silently ignored,
as long as the nodemask contains at least one node that is on-line,
allowed by the process' cpuset and has memory.

Now that we have a cpuset man page, we can refer to cpusets directly
in the man page text.

Michael Kerrisk 82e15b5ebe Provide more detail in the description of rounding modes. 
Add text describing FLT_ROUNDS (foermerly in fma.3).
Add BUGS section pointing out the FLT_ROUNDS does not reflect
changes by fesetround().

Michael Kerrisk d41a0a779d CONFORMING TO: Note that the standards provide a weaker guarantee 
for the return value of isinf().
 2008-08-07 06:57:15 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk e2858a6d2c Updated details for POSIX.1-2008, and noted that if 
POSIX.1-2001 is listed in the CONFORMING TO section of a man
page, then the read can assume that the interface is also
specified in POSIX.1-2008, unless otherwise noted.
