Contributors ------------ The following people contributed notes, ideas, or patches that have been incorporated in changes in this release: Justin Pryzby Martin (Joey) Schulze Martin Röhricht Patrick Mansfield Stepan Kasal Apologies if I missed anyone! Global changes -------------- gettimeofday.2 madvise.2 msgctl.2 select.2 semctl.2 shmctl.2 stat.2 a64l.3 printf.3 termios.3 xdr.3 sd.4 mtk Minor wording changes. obsolete.2 syscall.2 unimplemented.2 mtk Added SEE ALSO reference to syscalls.2. New pages --------- sgetmask.2 mtk A real man page for sgetmask(2) and ssetmask(2). (This page replaces a previous link of the same, which linked signal.2.) Removed Pages ------------- obsolete.2 mtk Details on this page are covered in syscalls.2 and in respective syscall man pages (stat.2, uname.2). undocumented.2 mtk This page is very out of date, and in any case difficult to maintain. Information about undocumented system calls is maintained in the HOWTOHELP file, and probably in other places soon. killpg.3 mtk This rather incomplete page seems unnecessary since there is a killpg.2.
