Global changes
--------------
Various pages
mtk
Use 'glibc' consistently to refer to GNU C library.
New pages
---------
timeradd.3
mtk
Description of timeradd(), timersub(), timerclear(),
timerisset(), timercmp() macros for operating on
struct timeval.
Removed pages
-------------
fdatasync.2
mtk
Somehow, over time, material on fdatasync(2) crept into
fsync.2, and fdatasync also got added to the NAME section
of fsync.2. All of the material in fdatasync.2 that was
not already in fsync.2 has now been moved there, and
the former page has been removed.
In place of the content there, is now a link to fsync.2.
