As per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=270817
Formulae on the pages should be T = S / C not T = C / S.

    Noted use of _XOPEN_SOURCE to get macros <sytdlib.h>
    as for wait(2).

mtk
    Changed name of argument from 'string' to 'command' (like POSIX).

    Noted that glibc does nowadays explicitly check for the existence
    of the shell if 'command' is NULL, rather than the older behaviour
    of assuming the shell exists and always returning 1 if
    'command' is NULL.

    Other wording and formatting clean-ups.

The wording describing how errno is set was tidied up in a number of
pages.

Michael Kerrisk 0c00f46ce7 Cartsen Hey 
as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=276248

    Changed range for "%S" from 0..61 to 0..60.

    SUSv3 says 0..60.  I think the manual page probably says
    0..61, because that's what SUSv2 said.
    (Some other implementations' man pages also say 0..61 --
    e.g., Solaris 8 & 9, Tru64 5.1B; FreeBSD 5.1 says 0..60.)

    The glibc manual currently says 0..60.

    Given that SUSv3 says 0..60, I've changed this the
    manual page to also say this:

        -The second as a decimal number (range 00 to 61).
        +The second as a decimal number (range 00 to 60).
        +(The range is up to 60 to allow for occasional leap seconds.)

Michael Kerrisk 898e9a87df Hello Joey, 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=205736

[[
This example contains the following line:

    if ((p = realloc (p, size)) == NULL)
       return NULL;

This is a very ill written code, since realloc returning
NULL do not deallocate the original memory block. Such a 
statement has a potential to become significant memory
hole. I suggest to correct this example since:

1. It may trick naive programmers to write bad code
2. It may lead skeptic observers to the believe 
   the whole Linux is written in a similar style.
   

Regards Jan Kuznik 
]]

This guy is right on the money!

I've changed that example, so that the above code has been replaced by:

    char *np;

    ...


    if ((np = realloc (p, size)) == NULL) {
        free(p);
        return NULL;
    } else {
        p = np;
    }

Cheers,

Michael

shm_open(3) refers to O_RWDR during discussion of the possible values of
oflags, and later refers to O_RDWR.  The reference to O_RWDR is
incorrect (likely a typo) and should be changed to O_RDWR.
