Global changes
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Various pages
|
|
mtk
|
|
Where there is an instruction in the SYNOPIS about linking
|
|
or compiling with a certain option, the option is now
|
|
marked up in itlacs (e.g., "\fI-lm\fP").
|
|
|
|
Various pages
|
|
mtk
|
|
Added page numbers to page cross references.
|
|
|
|
A few pages
|
|
mtk
|
|
s/manpage/man page/, for consistency.
|
|
|
|
Typographical or grammatical errors have been corrected in several
|
|
places.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Removed pages
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
LDP.7
|
|
mtk
|
|
Removed this page since it is out of date, and the proper place
|
|
to go for up-to-date information is http://www.tldp.org/.
|
|
|
|
ksoftirq.9
|
|
mtk
|
|
Reason: this was the only Section 9 page, and it is old
|
|
(Linux 2.4). The man9 section never took off as an idea, and
|
|
I see little point in keeping a Section 9 with just a single
|
|
old page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes to individual pages
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
alloc_hugepages.2
|
|
mtk
|
|
Minor rewrites, eliminating some duplication, and removing
|
|
some outdated text.
|
|
|
|
fcntl.2
|
|
mtk
|
|
Remove misleading text about setting O_ASYNC when calling
|
|
open(); one must use fcntl() F_SETFL for this task.
|
|
|
|
fdatasync.2
|
|
mtk
|
|
Converted outdated BUGS note about fdatasync() being
|
|
equivalent to fsync() on Linux 2.2 into a NOTES note
|
|
about this historical behaviour.
|
|
|
|
mremap.2
|
|
mtk
|
|
Remove text about the non-existent BSD meremap() -- too
|
|
much information, in my opinion.
|
|
|
|
sched_yield.2
|
|
mtk
|
|
Added ERROS section.
|
|
|
|
set_mempolicy.2

Small rewording in RETURN VALUE section.
|
|
|
|
sync_file_range.2
|

Fix return type in SYNOPSIS. Add RETURN VALUE section.
|
|
|
|
atexit.3
|
|
mtk
|
|
Small rearrangement of text under NOTES.
|
|
|
|
bindresvport.3
|
|
mtk
|
|
Rewrite and substantial additional text.
|
|
|
|
exec.3
|
|
mtk
|

Minor clarifications for text on execlp() and execvp(). Removed
|
|
FILES section, since it provides no useful additional info.
|
|
|
|
fenv.3
|
|
mtk
|

|

Added feenableexcept, fedisableexcept, fegetexcept

|
|
Added 'putwc' to .SH NAME list.
|
|
|
|
login.3
|
|
mtk
|
|
Removed remark from NOTES about linking with -lutil; add
|
|
text on that point to SYNOPSIS.
|
|
|
|
openpty.3
|
|
mtk
|
|
Removed redundant remark from NOTES about linking with -lutil
|
|
since there is text on that point under SYNOPSIS.
|
|
|
|
sysconf.3

|
|
mtk
|
|
s/exec()/execve(2)/ in various places.
|
|
|
|
complex.7
|
|
mtk
|
|
Changed "atan(1)" to "atan(1.0)" to prevent some versions of
|
|
man2html(1) from mistaking that string as a page cross reference.
|
|
|
|
rtnetlink.7
|
|
mtk
|
|
Small restructuring to avoid 'cannot adjust line' from man(1).
|
|
|

Removed now very out-of-date sentence about need to link shared
|
|

|
|
mtk
|
|
Moved EXIT STATUS section.
