Carlos O'Donell 7b08c45b7d syscalls.2: Add prlimit64(2)
While trying to reconcile the new features in glibc with the
documented entries in the linux kernel man pages I noticed that
glibc exports prlimit64 for use by 32-bit applications (as does
the linux kernel), but that prlimit64 was not defined in the
syscalls list or in the prlimit-related page.

This is not the complete fix for this, but I don't have the time
to explain why and when prlimit64 should be used (or how it should
be used safely). Therefore I'm just patching the syscalls.2 list
to show that prlimit64 exists and was added in 2.6.36 (verified
with git by checking out the tags before and after).

Unless you've purposely excluded prlimit64 to avoid telling users
about it because it's complicated, please apply.

README

This package contains Linux man pages for sections
2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. Some more information is given in the
`Announce' file.

Install by copying to your favourite location.
"make install" will just copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].
To install to a path different from /usr use
"make install prefix=/install/path".
"make" will move the pages from this package that are older than
the already installed ones to a subdirectory `not_installed',
then remove old versions (compressed or not),
compress the pages, and copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].


Note that you may have to remove preformatted pages.

Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages
also distributed in other packages. This has been reported
about dlclose.3, dlerror.3, dlopen.3, dlsym.3 (found in ld.so),
about resolver.3, resolv.conf.5 (found in bind-utils),
and about passwd.5, and mailaddr.7. Be careful not to
overwrite more up-to-date versions.
Reports on further duplicates are welcome.
Formerly present and now removed duplicates:
 exports.5 (found in nfs-server-2.2*),
 fstab.5, nfs.5 (found in util-linux-2.12*),
 lilo.8, lilo.conf.5 (found in lilo-21.6*).
