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").
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Removed this page since it is out of date, and the proper place to go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/.
Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
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Converted outdated BUGS note about fdatasync() being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.
set_mempolicy.2
mtk
Moved text for "Versions and Library Support".
atexit.3
mtk
Small rearrangement of text under NOTES.
exec.3
mtk
Minor clarifications for text on execlp() and execvp().
Removed FILES section, since it provides no useful additional info.
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
Added SEE ALSO referring to getconf(1).
