Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>
 2012-02-27 13:50:55 +13:00
Christoph Hellwig 71ae2f4a3f fsync.2: Various improvements 
- explain the situation with disk caches better
- remove the duplicate fdatasync() explanation in the NOTES
  section
- remove an incorrect note about fsync() generally requiring two
  writes
- remove an obsolete ext2 example note
- fsync() works on any file descriptor (doesn't need to be
  writable); correct the EBADF error code explanation

Michael Kerrisk f52e0be8bb fallocate.2: Substantial restructuring of DESCRIPTION 
The addition of a second class of operation ("hole punching")
to the man page made it clear that some significant restructuring
is required. So I substantially reworked the page, including the
preexisting material on the default "file allocation" operation.

Michael Kerrisk a1712680c4 man.7: Various fixes for description of NAME section 
As noted by reporter:
* The code sample given for the NAME section is incomplete because
  the actual content sample is not given.
* Additionally, the description assumes that the item described is
  a command, which need not be the case.
* The command makewhatis is not present on my system; the
  documented tool to create the whatis database is called mandb.
* The description on .SH NAME in man(7) should either copy the
  relevant paragraph of lexgrog(1) or refer to it.
