Global changes
--------------
Many math pages had their synopses compressed, as per suggestion
from Fabian Kreutz.
Many minor content and formatting bug fixes were made to the math
pages, following suggestions from Fabian Kreutz (who recently
translated many of the 1.70 math pages into German) and
Andries Brouwer.
For consistency, all instances "super-user" were changed to the more
common "superuser".
After a note from Vasya Pupkin, I added <errno.h> to the SYNOPSIS
of several Section 2 pages using the _syscallN() macros.
In addition:
-- erroneous semicolons at the end of _syscallN() were removed
on various pages.
-- types such as "uint" in syscalN() declarations were changed
to "unsigned int", etc.
-- various other minor breakages in the synopses were fixed.
The affected pages are:
getdents.2
gettid.2
llseek.2
mmap2.2
modify_ldt.2
pivot_root.2

Global changes
--------------

The wording describing how errno is set was fixed up in the
following pages:
accept.2
close.2
send.2
setsid.2
socket.2
closedir.3
initgroups.3
mkstemp.3

Typographical or grammatical errors have been corrected in several

Individual pages
----------------
sendfile.2
mtk
Adjusted descriptions of argument file types to be closer to
2.6 reality.
Wording and formatting changes
ctan.3
ctanh.3
Tony Crawford
As per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=270817
Formulae on the pages should be T = S / C not T = C / S.
errno.3
Martin Schulze, mtk
Removed errno declaration from prototype, added notes
on historical need for this declaration.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=174175
aio_return.3
as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=224953
Changed erroneous "aio_return(2)" to "aio_return(3)"
posix_openpt.3
mtk
New by mtk
ptsname.3
mtk
Added description of ptsname_r().
Added ERRORS.
ptsname_r.3
mtk
New link to ptsname.3.
shm_open.3
Matthew Gregan
add <fcntl.h> to synopsis
as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=271243
strcasecmp.3
Marek Habersack <grendel@debian.org>
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
-BSD 4.4
+BSD 4.4, SUSv3
as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=234443
strfry.3
Joshua Kwan
Added _GNU_SOURCE to prototype
as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=213538
strftime.3
Cartsen Hey
as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=276248
Changed range for "%S" from 0..61 to 0..0.
SUSv3 says 0..60. I think the manual page probably says
0..61, because that's what SUSv2 said.
(Some other implementations' man pages also say 0..61 --
e.g., Solaris 8 & 9, Tru64 5.1B; FreeBSD 5.1 says 0..60.)
The glibc manual currently says 0..60.
Given that SUSv3 says 0..60, I've changed the
manual page to also say this:
-The second as a decimal number (range 00 to 61).
+The second as a decimal number (range 00 to 60).
+(The range is up to 60 to allow for occasional leap seconds.)
sysconf.3
Johannes Berg / http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=226974
-.BR POSIX2_FORT_RUN " - " _SC_2_FORT_DEV
+.BR POSIX2_FORT_DEV " - " _SC_2_FORT_DEV
system.3
Pedro Zorzenon
as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=242638
Noted use of _XOPEN_SOURCE to get macros <sytdlib.h>
as for wait(2).
mtk
Changed name of argument from 'string' to 'command' (like POSIX).
Noted that glibc does nowadays explicitly check for the existence
of the shell if 'command' is NULL, rather than the older behaviour
of assuming the shell exists and always returning 1 if
'command' is NULL.
Other wording and formatting clean-ups.
undocumented.3
Remove some functions names that *are* documented.

file system.

noted bug in handling of 'len' in kernels < 2.6.6.

uselib.2
Andries Brouwer
Improved DESCRIPTION; clarified distinction between
EACCES and ENOEXEC.
bcopy.3
Heikki Orsila
bcopy() handles overlapping case, but memcpy does not,
