-clone.2

- Michael Kerrisk

- Rewrite crufty text about number of args in older version of clone()

- Some bit rot had crept in regarding the discussion of the

- number of arguments in older versions of this syscall.

- Simplify the text to just say that Linux 2.4 and earlier

- didn't have ptid, tls, and ctid arguments.

-

- See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533868

- Michael Kerrisk

- Fix version number for CLONE_NEWIPC

- It's 2.6.19, not 2.4.19.

- Michael Kerrisk

- Fix errors in argument names in text (ptid, ctd)

-

-execve.2

- Mike Frysinger

- Remove erroneous statement that pending signal set is cleared

- on execve(2).

-

-fcntl.2

- Michael Kerrisk

- The kernel source file mandatory.txt is now mandatory-locking.txt

- Michael Kerrisk

- The Documentation/* files are now in Documentation/filesystems

-

-flock.2

- Michael Kerrisk

- Remove unneeded reference to Documentation/mandatory.txt

- Mandatory locks are only implemented by fcntl() locking

- Michael Kerrisk

- The Documentation/* files are now in Documentation/filesystems

-

-fork.2

- Jeff Moyer

- Document fork() behaviour for the Linux native AIO io_context

- It was noted on lkml that the fork behaviour is documented

- for the POSIX AIO calls, but not for the Linux native calls.

- Here is a patch which adds a small blurb that folks will

- hopefully find useful.

-

- Upon fork(), the child process does not inherit the

- io_context_t data structures returned by io_setup,

- and thus cannot submit further asynchronous I/O or

- reap event completions for said contexts.

-

-getdents.2

- Michael Kerrisk

- The d_type field is fully supported on Btrfs

-

-mount.2

- Michael Kerrisk

- Document MS_STRICTATIME, update description of MS_RELATIME

- Starting with Linux 2.6.30, the MS_RELATIME behavior became

- the default, and MS_STRICTATIME is required to obtain the

- traditional semantics.

-

-poll.2

- Michael Kerrisk

- Remove EBADF error from ERRORS

- As reported by Motohiro:

-

- "man poll" describe this error code.

-

- >ERRORS

- > EBADF An invalid file descriptor was given in one of the sets.

-

- but current kernel implementation ignore invalid file descriptor,

- not return EBADF.

- ...

-

- In the other hand, SUSv3 talk about

-

- > POLLNVAL

- > The specified fd value is invalid. This flag is only valid in the

- > revents member; it shall ignored in the events member.

-

- and

-

- > If the value of fd is less than 0, events shall be ignored, and

- > ireevents shall be set to 0 in that entry on return from poll().

-

- but, no desribe EBADF.

- (see http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/poll.html)

-

- So, I think the implementation is correct.

-

- Why don't we remove EBADF description?

-

-sigaction.2

- Michael Kerrisk

- EWxpand description of si_utime and si_stime fields of siginfo_t

-

-stat.2

- Michael Kerrisk

- Improve wording of ENOTDIR error

-

-syscalls.2

- Michael Kerrisk

- Ad preadv() and pwritev(), new in kernel 2.6.30

-

-wait.2

- Gokdeniz Karadag

- Document CLD_DUMPED and CLD_TRAPPED si_code values

-

-daemon.3

- Michael Kerrisk

- Clarify discussion of 'noclose' and 'nochdir' arguments

-

-ffs.3

- Petr Baudis

- SEE ALSO: add memchr(3)

-

-fmemopen.3

- Petr Baudis

- Relocate BUGS section to correct position

- Petr Baudis

- NOTES: there is no file descriptor associated with the returned stream

- Alexander Lamaison pointed out that this is not obvious

- from the documentation, citing an example with passing the

- FILE * handle to a function that tries to fstat() its

- fileno() in order to determine the buffer size.

- Michael Kerrisk

- CONFORMING TO: remove note that these functions are GNU extensions

- That sentence is now redundant, since these functions

- are added in POSIX.1-2008.

-

-lockf.3

- Michael Kerrisk

- Clarify relationship between fcntl() and lockf() locking

-

-memchr.3

- Petr Baudis

- SEE ALSO: add ffs(3)

-

-readdir.3

- Michael Kerrisk

- The d_type field is fully supported on Btrfs

-

-setjmp.3

- Mike Frysinger

- Fix typo and clarify RETURN description

- The word "signal" was duplicated in NOTES, and the RETURN

- section refers to setjmp() and sigsetjmp(), and mentions

- longjmp(), but not siglongjmp().

-

-strcmp.3

- Petr Baudis

- SEE ALSO: add strverscmp(3)

-

-strcpy.3

- Mark Hills

- SEE ALSO: Add strdup(3)

-

-complex.7

- Michael Kerrisk

- Add missing header file for example program

- Reimar D�ffinger

- Fix type used in example code

- man complex (from release 3.18) contains the following code:

- complex z = cexp(I * pi);

- Reading the C99 standard, "complex" is not a valid type,

- and several compilers (Intel ICC, ARM RVCT) will refuse to compile.

- It should be

- double complex z = cexp(I * pi); instead.

-

-environ.7

- Michael Kerrisk

- Note that last element in environ array is NULL

- See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=528628

- Michael Kerrisk

- Wording fixes

-

-mq_overview.7

- Michael Kerrisk

- Note that mkdir and mount commands here need superuser privilege

- Michael Kerrisk

- Fix example showing contents of /dev/mqueue file

-

-standards.7

- Michael Kerrisk

- Remove references to dated books

- Gallmeister and Lewine are rather old books. Probably,

- there are better books to consult nowadays, and anyway,

- this man page isn't intended to be a bibliography.
