New and rewritten pages
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
getnetent_r.3
|
|
mtk
|
|
Documents getnetent_r(), getnetbyname_r(),
|
|
and getnetbyaddr_r(), the reentrant equivalents of
|
|
getnetent(), getnetbyname(), and getnetbyaddr().
|
|
|
|
getprotoent_r.3
|
|
mtk
|
|
Documents getprotoent_r(), getprotobyname_r(), and
|
|
getprotobynumber_r(), the reentrant equivalents of
|
|
getprotoent(), getprotobyname(), and getprotobynumber().
|
|
|
|
getrpcent_r.3
|
|
mtk
|
|
Documents getrpcent_r(), getrpcbyname_r(), and
|
|
getrpcbynumber_r(), the reentrant equivalents of
|
|
getrpcent(), getrpcbyname(), and getrpcbynumber().
|
|
|
|
getservent_r.3
|
|
mtk
|
|
Documents getservent_r(), getservbyname_r(), and
|
|
getservbyport_r(), the reentrant equivalents of

numa.7
|
|
mtk
|
|
A new page giving overview details for the Linux NUMA interfaces.
|
|
Incorporates some material from mbind.2, and the description
|
|
of /proc/PID/numa_maps from proc.5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
New and changed links
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
numa_maps.5
|
|
mtk
|
|
Link to new numa(7) page, which incorporates the
|
|
/proc/PID/numa_maps description.
|
|
As part of the numactl() package, the /proc/PID/numa_maps
|
|
documentation was in a numa_maps.5 page; this link
|
|
ensures that "man 5 numa_maps" still works.
|
|
(Eventually, we may want to remove this link.)
