Global changes
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The following pages have been relocated into section 7, since
|
|
that is their more natural home. SEE ALSO references in various
|
|
other pages have been adjusted.
|
|
|
|
epoll.4
|
|
fifo.4
|
|
futex.4
|
|
complex.5
|
|
environ.5 (many pages outside man-pages actually *expect*
|
|
'environ' to be in Section 7.)
|
|
ipc.5 renamed to svipc.7
|
|
|
|
".so" link files have been created to link the old file locations to the
|
|
new file locations. These links are added just to ensure that cross
|
|
references from any other (non-man-pages) pages will remain valid;
|
|
eventually these links will be removed.
|
|
|
|
getgroups.2
|
|
wait4.2
|
|
chown.2
|
|
chdir.2
|
|
