Michael Kerrisk c8bd05f909 Add more detail about wrapper functions
Add a few more details about work generally done by wrapper
functions.  Note that syscall(2) performs the same steps.

Michael Kerrisk c3ea9f2ded Can't use comma instead of slash to separate port and protocol.
Remove crufty text about use of comma instead of slash to separate
port and protocol.  It's not true as at glibc 2.8, and it's not
clear if/when it was ever true.

Michael Kerrisk a2610398b8 Remove some bugs, that no longer seen to be true in glibc 2.8. 2008-09-23 10:46:24 +02:00
George Spelvin 7134d7e62c Clarify closedir()'s treatment of underlying file descriptor.
At the end of the paragraph in opendir(3) describing fdopendir(), I
think it's worth adding "The file descriptor will be closed when
closedir() is called."  It's a bit ambiguous if the file descriptor
is closed or "given back" at closedir time.

(I've tested this and verified that it's true, BTW.)

Michael Kerrisk 6dea120e68 Fix 'dir' argument name: should be 'dirp'.
POSIX.1-2008 and glibc call this argument 'dirp' (consistent
with the fact that it is a *pointer* to a DIR structure).

Michael Kerrisk 3e7a52936d Fix 'dir' argument name: should be 'dirp'.
The page formerly used both 'dir' and 'dirp'(!).
POSIX.1-2008 and glibc call this argument 'dirp' (consistent
with the fact that it is a *pointer* to a DIR structure).

Michael Kerrisk 67f0f50d07 Describe getpid()'s PID caching and its consequences.
getpid() caches the PID after the first call.  This relies
on support in the glibc wrappers for fork()/vfork()/clone().
However, if syscall() is used to directly invoke fork()/vfork()/clone(),
the cache is not updated, and getpid() in the child procudes the wrong
result.
