       enough detail to allow avoiding them.

    -- Mention the upcoming MAP_FIXED_SAFE flag.

    -- Enhance the alignment requirement slightly.

Michael Kerrisk 5d0ea688e3 ip.7: s/INADDR_ANY/INADDR_LOOPBACK/ in discussion of htonl() 
INADDR_LOOPBACK is a better example, since it is not
byte-order neutral.

Ricardo Biehl Pasquali c0a0e532ae ip.7: INADDR_* values cannot be assigned directly to 's_addr' 
According to The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 7, RATIONALE
section of
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/ basedefs/netinet_in.h.html
some INADDR_* values must be converted using htonl().

INADDR_ANY and INADDR_BROADCAST are byte-order-neutral so they do
not require htonl(), however I only comment this fact in NOTES.
On the text I recommend to use htonl(), "even if for some subset
it's not necessary".

Stefan Hajnoczi ba294a0ee6 vsock.7: Clarify send(2)/recv(2) families of system calls 
Sockets support both read(2)/write(2) and send(2)/recv(2) system
calls.  Each of these is actually a family of multiple system
calls such as send(2), sendfile(2), sendmsg(2), sendmmsg(2), and
sendto(2).

This patch claries which families of system calls can be used.

This patch adds vsock.7 and describes its use along the same lines as
existing ip.7, unix.7, and netlink.7 man pages.

John Hubbard ffa518803e mmap.2: MAP_FIXED is no longer discouraged 
MAP_FIXED has been widely used for a very long time, yet the man
page still claims that "the use of this option is discouraged".

The documentation assumes that "less portable" == "must be discouraged".

Instead of discouraging something that is so useful and widely used,
change the documentation to explain its limitations better.
