New and rewritten pages
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
getnetent_r.3
|
|
mtk
|
|
Documents getnetent_r(), getnetbyname_r(),
|
|
and getnetbyaddr_r(), the reentrant equivalents of
|
|
getnetent(), getnetbyname(), and getnetbyaddr().
|
|
|
|
getprotoent_r.3
|
|
mtk
|
|
Documents getprotoent_r(), getprotobyname_r(), and
|
|
getprotobynumber_r(), the reentrant equivalents of
|
|
getprotoent(), getprotobyname(), and getprotobynumber().
|
|
|
|
getrpcent_r.3
|
|
mtk
|
|
Documents getrpcent_r(), getrpcbyname_r(), and
|
|
getrpcbynumber_r(), the reentrant equivalents of
|
|
getrpcent(), getrpcbyname(), and getrpcbynumber().
|
|
|
|
getservent_r.3
|
|
mtk
|
|
Documents getservent_r(), getservbyname_r(), and
|
|
getservbyport_r(), the reentrant equivalents of
|
|
getservent(), getservbyname(), and getservbyport().
|
|
|
|
numa.7
|
|
mtk
|
|
A new page giving overview details for the Linux NUMA interfaces.
|
|
Incorporates some material from mbind.2, and the description
|
|
of /proc/PID/numa_maps from proc.5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
crypt.3
|
|
mtk
|
|
Add description of crypt_r().
|
|
|
|
|
|
New and changed links
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
crypt.3
|
|
mtk
|
|
New link to crypt.3.
|
|
|
|
getnetbyname_r.3
|
|
getnetbyaddr_r.3
|
|
mtk
|
|
New links to new getnetent_r.3.
|
|
|
|
getprotobyname_r.3
|
|
getprotobynumber_r.3
|
|
mtk
|
|
New links to new getprotoent_r.3.
|
|
|
|
getrpcbyname_r.3
|
|
getrpcbynumber_r.3
|
|
mtk
|
|
New links to new getrpcent_r.3.
|
|
|
|
getservbyname_r.3
|
|
getservbyport_r.3
|
|
mtk
|
|
New links to new getservent_r.3.
|
|
|
|
numa_maps.5
|
|
mtk
|
|
Link to new numa(7) page, which incorporates the
|
|
/proc/PID/numa_maps description.
|
|
As part of the numactl() package, the /proc/PID/numa_maps
|
|
documentation was in a numa_maps.5 page; this link
|
|
ensures that "man 5 numa_maps" still works.
|
|
(Eventually, we may want to remove this link.)
|
|

Changes to individual pages

---------------------------
|
|
|
|
eventfd.2
|
|
Vijay Kumar
|
|
When an eventfd overflows, select() indicates the file as both
|
|
readable and writable (not as having an exceptional condition).
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
link.2
|
|
mtk
|
|
Note kernel version where Linux stopped following symbolic
|
|
links in 'oldpath'; see also http://lwn.net/Articles/294667.
|
|
POSIX.1-2008 makes it implementation-dependent whether or not
|
|
'oldpath' is dereferenced if it is a symbolic link.
|
|
Add a reference to linkat(2) for an interface that allows
|
|
precise control of the treatment of symbolic links.
|
|
|
|
mbind.2
|
|
mtk
|
|
Remove material on library support and numactl; that material
|
|
is now in numactl.7.
|
|
|
|
mmap.2
|
|
mtk
|
|
Add kernel version numbers for MAP_32BIT.

|
|
|
utimensat.2

|
|
fememopen.2
|
|
mtk
|
|
Since glibc 2.7, it is possible to seek past the end of
|
|
a stream created by open_memstream(). Add a BUGS section
|
|
describing the bug in earlier glibc versions.
|
|
|
|
gethostbyname.3

|
|
the database if necessary.
|
|
The database connection is held open between get*() calls if
|
|
'stayopen' is non-zero (not necessarily 1).
|
|
s/zero terminated list/NULL-terminated list/
|
|
mtk
|
|
In glibc 2.2, the type of the 'net' argument for getnetbyaddr()
|
|
changed from 'long' to 'uint32_t'.
|
|
mtk
|
|
Note that the gethostbyaddr() 'net" argument is in host byte order.
|
|
mtk
|
