Michael Kerrisk 331dcbfb3a Since kernel 2.6.22, Linux setitimer() now conforms to POSIX.1, 
giving an EINVAL error for a non-canonical tv_usec value.

Michael Kerrisk 9f8162f91b Correct definition of "struct in_addr". 2007-08-27 15:52:38 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk 6486ef0578 Clarify that SO_SNDTIMEO and SO_RCVTIMEO only have effect for 
socket I/O calls; not for multiplexing system calls like
select() and poll().

Michael Kerrisk 9de1f6ccc4 Since linux 2.6.11, /proc/stat has an eighth value for cpu 
lines: stolen time, which is the time spent in other operating
systems when running in a virtualized environment.

Michael Kerrisk de9957dcf7 This is some corrections for hier.7: 
- missing period for /media and /mnt
- /mnt description is not totally correct, it is true for some
distributions but in others /mnt is used as a temporary FS mount point,
as it is specified by FHS:
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#MNTMOUNTPOINTFORATEMPORARILYMOUNT
- s/X-Windows/X-Window/ (3 occurrences)
- section "SEE ALSO": s/mount(1)/mount(8)/
 2007-08-27 13:40:00 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk 809d01649e I noticed things to correct and to clarify in subsection 
"/proc/filesystems" of proc.5:
- clarify filesystems listing: not only FS compiled
  into the kernel, also FS kernel modules currently loaded
- add a reference to fs(5)
- add an explanation for FS marked with "nodev"
- s/mount(1)/mount(8)/, also corrected in section "SEE ALSO"
- clarify usage by mount: the current wording may lead to
  think /proc/filesystems is always used by mount when no FS
  is specified. So, usage of "may" which IMHO is more
  appropriate + additionnal explanations
  In mount(8) we can see:

       If no -t option is given, or if the auto type is
       specified, mount will try to guess the desired type.
       If mount was compiled with the blkid library, the
       guessing is done by this library. Otherwise, mount
       guesses itself by probing the superblock; if that
       does not turn up anything that looks familiar,
       mount will try to read the file /etc/filesystems,
       or, if that does not exist, /proc/filesystems.
       All of the filesystem types listed there will be
       tried, except for those that are labeled "nodev"
       (e.g., devpts, proc and nfs). If /etc/filesystems
       ends in a line with a single * only, mount will
       read /proc/filesystems afterwards.

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.

+ added requirement to link '-lnuma' to synopsis

+ rewrite portions of description for clarification.

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

  ++ defined how "empty set of nodes" specified and what this
     means for MPOL_PREFERRED.

  ++ mention what happens if local/target node contains no
     free memory.

  ++ clarify semantics of multiple nodes to BIND policy.
     Note:  subject to change.  We'll fix the man pages when/if
            this happens.

+ added all errors currently returned by sys call.

+ added mmap(2) to See Also list.
