Michael Kerrisk 00045cbb7e Minor edits. 2007-08-27 11:34:07 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk 05c7d833f8 + changed the "policy" parameter to "mode" through out the 
descriptions in an attempt to promote the concept that the memory
  policy is a tuple consisting of a mode and optional set of nodes.

+ added requirement to link '-lnuma' to synopsis

+ rewrite portions of description for clarification.

+ added all errors currently returned by sys call.

+ removed cautionary note that use of MPOL_F_NODE|MPOL_F_ADDR
  is not supported.  This is no longer true.

+ added mmap(2) to See Also list.

  ++ clarify interaction of policy with mmap()'d files.

     free memory.
