Michael Kerrisk 075f5e6592 namespaces.7: Mention that device ID should also be checked when comparing NS symlinks
When comparing two namespaces symlinks to see if they refer to
the same namespace, both the inode number and the device ID
should be compared. This point was already made clear in
ioctl_ns(2), but was missing from this page.

README

This package contains Linux man pages for sections 1 through 8.  Some
more information is given in the 'man-pages-x.y.Announce' file.

Installing and uninstalling
===========================
"make install" will copy these man pages to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].

To install to a path different from /usr, use
"make install prefix=/install/path".

"make remove" or "make uninstall" will remove any man page in this
distribution from its destination.  Use with caution, and remember to
use "prefix" if desired, as with the "install" target.

"make" or "make all" will perform "make uninstall" followed by "make
install".

Man page overlap and duplication
================================
Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages also distributed
in other packages.  This has been reported about:
