Michael Kerrisk 0e1ad2f01a ld.so.8: Note some further details of secure-execution mode
Note some further details of the treatment of environment
variables in secure execution mode. In particular (as noted by
Matthias Hertel), note that ignored environment variables are also
stripped from the environment. Furthermore, there are some other
variables, not used by the dynamic linker itself, that are also
treated in this way (see the glibc source file
sysdeps/generic/unsecvars.h).

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:
