Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
getrusage.2
Bernd Eckenfels
SEE ALSO: Add clock(3), clock_gettime(3).
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=353475
ioctl_list.2
mtk
Remove old sentence about where to send updates for this page.
clock.3
Bernd Eckenfels
SEE ALSO: Add clock_gettime(3).
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=353475
hsearch.3
mtk
Noted that table size as specified by 'nel' is immutable.
Described differences between hsearch() and hsearch_r().
Added missing pieces to RETURN VALUE.
Added a number of new entries under ERRORS.
NOTES: added some basic advice on sizing the hash table;
noted that when a table is destroyed, the caller is responsible
for freeing the buffers pointed to by 'key' and 'data' fields.
One of the BUGS was fixed in glibc 2.3.
Rewrote and clarified various other pieces.
Rename arguments for reentrant functions, using same name as
glibc headers: s/ret/retval/; s/tab/htab/.
mtk, after a suggestion by Timothy S. Wayland
Integrate discussion of reentrant functions into main discussion
(rather than as a short paragraph at the end).
ptsname.3
sukadev
Fix return type of ptsname_r() in SYNOPSIS.
sigsetops.3
Chris Head, signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger
Fix typo: s/sigdelset/sigorset/
proc.5
Mats Wichmann / mtk
s/\[number]/[pid]/ in file names for /proc/PID files.
And similar changes for task/[tid] sub-directories.
mtk / Mats Wichmann
In the description if /proc/[pid]/environ, remove reference to
lilo(8)/grub(8) since there seems to be nothing in those pages
that related to this /proc file.
Michael Schurter / mtk
Remove sentence wrongly saying that /proc/meminfo reports
info in bytes
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=462969
mtk
Note that /proc/meminfo reports system-wide memory usage
statistics.
Joe Korty
Document new fields in /proc/interrupts that were added in
Linux 2.6.24.
unix.7
Marko Kreen
Since glibc 2.8, _GNU_SOURCE must be defined in order to get
the definition of the ucred structure from <sys/socket.h>.
