Improved discussion of F_SETOWN and F_SETSIG with respect to
|

|
|
Generally cleaned up the discussion of F_SETOWN.
|
|
|
|

|
|
now in POSIX.

and: http://www.opengroup.org/austin/mailarchives/ag/msg08152.html
|
|
|
|
Michael Haardt / mtk

Clarified EXDEV error description: it isn't possible to link

mincore.2
|
|
mtk, after note from Gordon Jin
|
|
Updated ERRORS
|
|
|
|
pipe.2
|
|
As per message from Serguei Leontiev
|
|
Removed SVr2, AT&T, and BSD from CONFORMING TO, since
|
|
a pipe on those systems is actually bidirectional.
|
|
(Pipes are implemented as STREAMS on the former, and
|
|
sockets on the latter.)
|
|
|
|
posix_fadvise.2
|
|
mtk
|
|
Noted kernel version where posix_fadvise() appeared and
|
|
noted bug in handling of 'len' in kernels < 2.6.6.
|
|
|
|
rename.2
|
|
Michael Haardt
|
|

|
|

|
|
the same file system.

|
|

|
|

|
|
Added sigqueue.2 to SEE ALSO
|
|
|
|
times.2
|
|
mtk
|
|
Added notes on non-standard behaviour: Linux allows 'buf' to
|
|
be NULL, but POSIX.1 doesn't specify this and it's non-portable.
|
|
|
|
uselib.2
|
|
Andries Brouwer
|
|
Improved DESCRIPTION; clarified distinction between
|
|
EACCES and ENOEXEC.
|
|
|
|
bcopy.3
|
|
Heikki Orsila
|
|
bcopy() handles overlapping case, but memcpy does not,
|
|
so for consistency memmove() should be also mentioned.
|
|
|
|
getmntent_r.3
|
|
Martin (Joey) Schulze
|
|
New link to man3/getmntent.3.
|
|
|

Small wording change after suggestion from Sasa Stevanovic.

|
|
|
|

|
mtk
|
|
Added description of strcasestr().
|
|
|
|
random.4
|
|
aeb
|
|
Improved description of read from /dev/urandom.
|
|
|
|
st.4
