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..60.
|
|
|
|
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 this 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.)
|
|
|

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.
