  69 ---------------------------
  70
  71 clone.2
  72     Michael Kerrisk
  73         Move some CLONE_NEWNET text to namespaces.7
  74     Michael Kerrisk
  75         Move some CLONE_NEWUTS text 2 to namespaces.7
  76     Michael Kerrisk
  77         Move some CLONE_NEWIPC text to namespaces.7
  78     Michael Kerrisk
  79         Reword discussion of CLONE_NEWNS, removing text also in namespaces(7)
  80     Michael Kerrisk
  81         Standardize text on CLONE_NEW* flags and CAP_SYS_ADMIN
  82     Michael Kerrisk
  83         EINVAL if (CLONE_NEWUSER|CLONE_NEWPID) && (CLONE_THREAD|CLONE_PARENT)
  84     Michael Kerrisk
  85         Add more detail on the meaning of CLONE_SYSVSEM
  86
  87 flock.2
  88     Michael Kerrisk  [J. Bruce Fields]
  89         Don't mention "classical BSD" in discussion of fcntl()/flock interaction
  90             The noninteraction of flock(2) and fcntl(2) locks does
  91             not seem to be classical BSD semantics (at least, checking
  92             the 4.4BSD sources suggest that the lock types do interact,
  93             although there have been other systems also where fcntl()
  94             and flock() locks do not interact). So, fix the text
  95             discussing "classical BSD" lock semantics.
  96
  97 getunwind.2
  98     Michael Kerrisk  [Yuri Kozlov]

 109

 112         Refer to clone(2) for semantics of CLONE_SYSVSEM and semadj lists

 114 seteuid.2
 115 setgid.2
 116 setresuid.2
 117 setreuid.2

 138
 139 clock.3
 140     Michael Kerrisk  [Vincent Lefevre]
 141         The implementation uses clock_gettime() was to improve *accuracy*
 142             (The man page text mistakenly used the word "precision".)
 143
 144 drand48.3
 145     Michael Kerrisk  [Lorenzo Beretta]
 146         Remove crufty text about SVID 3 marking drand48() obsolete
