To easily distinguish documentation about glibc wrappers from documentation about kernel syscalls, let's have a normalized 'Note' in the SYNOPSIS, and a further explanation in the page body (NOTES in most of them), as already happened in many (but not all) of the manual pages for syscalls without a wrapper. Furthermore, let's normalize the messages, following membarrier.2 (because it's already quite extended), so that it's easy to use grep to find those pages. To find these pages, we used: $ grep -rn wrapper man? | sort -V and $ grep -rni support.*glibc | sort -V delete_module.2, init_module.2: glibc 2.23 is no longer maintained, so we changed the notes about wrappers, to say that there are no glibc wrappers for these system calls; see NOTES. We didn't fix some obsolete pages such as create_module.2.

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. Homepage ======== For information about the Linux man-pages project, see http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/index.html. Bug reports and contributing ============================ If you have corrections and additions to suggest, see http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/contributing.html (Although there is a mirror of this repository on GitHub, please don't report issues via the GitHub issue tracker!) For further information on contributing, see the CONTRIBUTING 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". Copyrights ========== See the 'man-pages-x.y.Announce' file.
