New pages
---------
sgetmask.2
mtk
A real man page for sgetmask(2) and ssetmask(2).
(This page replaces a previous link of the same, which linked
signal.2.)
Removed Pages
-------------
obsolete.2
mtk
Details on this page are covered in syscalls.2 and in
respective syscall man pages (stat.2, uname.2).
undocumented.2

This page is very out of date, and in any case difficult
to maintain. Information about undocumented system calls
is maintained in the HOWTOHELP file, and probably in other
places soon.
killpg.3
mtk
This rather incomplete page seems unnecessary since there
is a killpg.2.
