Zubkov] Clarify that flushing of input streams occurs only for seekable files See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91931 Michael Kerrisk [Sergey V. Zubkov] POSIX.1-2008 specifies the behavior when flushing input streams POSIX.1-2001 did not have a specification for input streams, but POSIX.1-2008 added one. getopt.3 Michael Kerrisk SEE ALSO: add getopt(1) random.3 Heinrich Schuchardt SEE ALSO: add getrandom(2) termios.3 Michael Kerrisk SEE ALSO: add reset(1), setterm(1), tput(1) tzset.3 J William Piggott Document behavior when TZ filespec omits the colon If the TZ filespec omits the leading colon, glibc will parse it for any valid format, i.e., it will still work. J William Piggott Add description for posixrules file J William Piggott Correct system timezone file path J William Piggott There are only two TZ formats tzset(3) currently states that there are three TZ formats. The first two it lists are actually variations of the POSIX-style TZ format, of which there are at least five variations. This patch corrects this to match the POSIX specification of TZ having only two formats. J William Piggott Filespec omitted incorrect Paragraph three of the DESCRIPTION section says that when TZ is set, but empty, then UTC is used. Later it says if the TZ filespec is omitted then the file /usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime is used. This is incorrect, it will use UTC in that case as well. J William Piggott Fix incorrect TZ string representation The TZ string representation indicates that the start/end rules are required; this is incorrect. J William Piggott Add ENVIRONMENT section + other rearrangements FILES section was overly verbose and included environment variables. Added ENVIRONMENT section, removing ENV VARS from the FILES section. random.4 Heinrich Schuchardt SEE ALSO: add getrandom(2) passwd.5 Michael Kerrisk SEE ALSO: add chfn(1), chsh(1) capabilities.7 Michael Kerrisk SEE ALSO: add setpriv(1) signal.7 Michael Kerrisk Add getrandom(2) to list of restartable system calls Michael Kerrisk Add F_OFD_SETLKW to list of restartable operations
