Various pages |
|
Fabian Kreutz / aeb |
|
Many minor content and formatting bug fixes were made to the math |
|

translated many of the 1.70 math pages into German) and |

Various pages |

After a note from Vasya Pupkin, I added <errno.h> to the SYNOPSIS |

|
-- erroneous semicolons at the end of _syscallN() were removed |
|
on various pages. |

|
|
-- types such as "uint" in syscallN() declarations were changed |
|
to "unsigned int", etc. |

triggered by http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=283179 |
|
The wording describing how errno is set was fixed up in these pages. |
|
|
|
Typographical or grammatical errors have been corrected in several |
|
other places. |
|
|
|
Changes to individual pages |
|
--------------------------- |
|
|
|
sendfile.2 |
|
mtk |
|
Adjusted descriptions of argument file types to be closer to |
|
2.6 reality. |
|
Wording and formatting changes. |
|
|
|
ctan.3 |
|
ctanh.3 |
|
Tony Crawford |
|
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. |
|
|
|
errno.3 |
|
Martin Schulze, mtk |
|
Removed errno declaration from prototype, added notes |
|
on historical need for this declaration. |
|
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=174175 |
|
|
|
aio_return.3 |
|
as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=224953 |
|
Changed erroneous "aio_return(2)" to "aio_return(3)". |
|
|
|
posix_openpt.3 |
|
mtk |
|
New by mtk |
|
|
|
ptsname.3 |
|
mtk |
|
Added description of ptsname_r(). |
|
Added ERRORS. |
|
|
|
ptsname_r.3 |
|
mtk |
|
New link to ptsname.3. |
|
|
|
shm_open.3 |
|
Matthew Gregan |
|
add <fcntl.h> to synopsis |
|
as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=271243 |
|
|
|
strcasecmp.3 |
|
Marek Habersack |
|
.SH "CONFORMING TO" |
|
-BSD 4.4 |
|
+BSD 4.4, SUSv3 |
|
as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=234443 |
|
|
|
strfry.3 |
|
Joshua Kwan |
|
Added _GNU_SOURCE to prototype |
|
as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=213538 |
|
|
|
strftime.3 |
|
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 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.) |
|
|
|
sysconf.3 |

|
|
|
system.3 |
|
Pedro Zorzenon |
|
as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=242638 |
|
Noted use of _XOPEN_SOURCE to get macros from <stdlib.h> |
|
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 behavior |
|
of assuming the shell exists and always returning 1 if |
|
'command' is NULL. |
|
|
|
Other wording and formatting clean-ups. |
|
|
|
undocumented.3 |
|
Remove some functions names that *are* documented. |
|

|
Updated ERRORS. |
|
|
|
pipe.2 |
|
As per message from Serguei Leontiev |
|
Removed SVr2, AT&T, and BSD from CONFORMING TO, since |

==================== Changes in man-pages-2.10 ==================== |
|
|
|
Released: 2005-10-19 |
|
|
|
Global changes |
|
-------------- |
|
|
|
The changes in this release consist *solely* of formatting fixes, with |
|
the aim bringing greater consistency to the manual pages according to |
|
the following rules: |
|
|
|
-- Function name references should *always* be followed by |
|
parentheses, "()" (possibly containing a manual page section |
|
number). |
|
|
|
-- The parentheses following a function name should *not* be |
|
formatted. Thus, for example, instead of: |
|
|
|
.B name() |
|
|
|
one should write: |
|
|
|
.BR name () |
|
|
|
Much of the change was automated using two scripts: |
|
add_parens_for_own_funcs.sh and unformat_parens.sh. |
|
For the (possible) benefit of downstream manual page maintainers and |
|
translators, I have placed these scripts in a new subdirectory 'scripts'. |
|
|
|
NOTE THE FOLLOWING POINTS WELL: |
|
|
|
-- These scripts provide a computer-assisted solution to the above |
|
two goals. However, they are not perfect, and their output should |
|
be scanned by a human. (To see what changes the two scripts |
|
*would* make, without making them, use the "-n" command line option.) |
|
|
|
-- The scripts do not fix all instances that violate the above rules: |
|
some manual fixes are required. Two further scripts are provided |
|
to help find remaining instances of function names without |
|
following "()": find_dots_no_parens.sh and find_slashes_no_parens.sh. |
|
|
|
The following changes were made: |
|
|
|
-- add_parens_for_own_funcs.sh was applied to the pages in Sections |
|
2 and 3. |
|
|
|
-- unformat_parens.sh was applied to pages in Sections 2, 3, 4, and 7 |
|
(the only sections where such changes were required). |
|
|
|
-- further changes (not so very many) were performed by hand. |
|
(found places to fix with the assistance of find_dots_no_parens.sh |
|
and find_slashes_no_parens.sh). |
|
|
|

New pages |
|
--------- |
|
|
|
rexec.3 |
|
mtk / Justin Pryzby |
|
This page is taken as is from the FreeBSD 5.4 distribution. |
|
(Not checked against Linux reality, but likely things are |
|
the same.) |
|
See also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=336875 |
|
|
|
Changes to individual pages |
|

|
of the bytes in both environment and argument list. |
|
|
|
fcntl.2 |
|
mtk |
|
Clarified parts of the discussion of file leases, |
|
noting effect of open(O_NONBLOCK), interruption |
|
by signal handler, or termination by signal in |
|
lease breaker. In response to |
|
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=339037 |
|
|
|
stat.2 |
|
mtk / Stefan Brüns |
|
Added LINUX NOTES describing nanosecond timestamps. |
|
|
|
frexp.3 |
|
Volker Reichelt / mtk |
|
Fixed to point out that frexp() returns a number whose |
|
*absolute* value is >= 0.5 and < 1. Amended the example |
|
program to demonstrate this. |

open.2 |
|
mtk / Avery Pennarun |

Add EWOULDBLOCK error for file leases. |
|
In response to |

putenv.3 |
|
mtk |
|
Although the glibc implementation returns -1 on error (and some |
|
other man pages (e.g., the BSDs) also document that value for |
|
error returns), SUSv3 merely says "non-zero" (and this is |
|
what manual pages on many implementations also say). |
|
|
|
posix_memalign.3 |
|
mtk |
|
Formerly, the page said that all systems declare memalign() in |
|
<malloc.h>. In fact, many declare it in <stdlib.h>. |

Almost a complete rewrite after Angelo pointed out |
|
that the existing page was deficient. |
