  69 fflush.3
  70     Michael Kerrisk  [Sergey V. Zubkov]
  71         Clarify that flushing of input streams occurs only for seekable files
  72             See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91931
  73     Michael Kerrisk  [Sergey V. Zubkov]
  74         POSIX.1-2008 specifies the behavior when flushing input streams
  75             POSIX.1-2001 did not have a specification for input streams,
  76             but POSIX.1-2008 added one.

  90 tzset.3
  91     J William Piggott
  92         Document behavior when TZ filespec omits the colon
  93             If the TZ filespec omits the leading colon, glibc will parse
  94             it for any valid format, i.e., it will still work.
  95     J William Piggott
  96         Add description for posixrules file
  97     J William Piggott
  98         Correct system timezone file path
  99     J William Piggott
 100         There are only two TZ formats
 101             tzset(3) currently states that there are three TZ formats. The
 102             first two it lists are actually variations of the POSIX-style
 103             TZ format, of which there are at least five variations.
 104
 105             This patch corrects this to match the POSIX specification of
 106             TZ having only two formats.
 107     J William Piggott
 108         Filespec omitted incorrect
 109             Paragraph three of the DESCRIPTION section says
 110             that when TZ is set, but empty, then UTC is used.
 111
 112             Later it says if the TZ filespec is omitted then the file
 113             /usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime is used.  This is incorrect,
 114             it will use UTC in that case as well.
 115     J William Piggott
 116         Fix incorrect TZ string representation
 117             The TZ string representation indicates that the start/end
 118             rules are required; this is incorrect.
 119     J William Piggott
 120         Add ENVIRONMENT section + other rearrangements
 121             FILES section was overly verbose and included
 122             environment variables.  Added ENVIRONMENT section,
 123             removing ENV VARS from the FILES section.
