+ Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao
+ Update /proc/[number]/cmdline description.
+ It used to be true that the command line arguments were
+ not accessible when the process had been swapped out.
+ In ancient kernels (circa 2.0.*) the problem was that the
+ kernel relied on get_phys_addr to access the user space buffer,
+ which stopped working as soon as the process was swapped out.
+ Recent kernels use get_user_pages for the same purpose and thus
+ they should not have that limitation.

+ descriptor in an epoll set is closed while other file descriptors
+ referring to the same underlying open file description remain

+ file descriptor twice to an epoll set, and when adding duplicate
+ file descriptors to the same epoll set.
+ Heikki Orsila / mtk / Davide Libenzi
+ Clarify Q9/A9 to discuss packet/token-oriented files.
+ mtk, after comments by Devide Libenzi and Chris Heath
+ Added Q0/A0, making explicit that the key for items in an epoll
+ set is [file descriptor, open file description].
+ mtk, after a note by Ron Burk
+ Change A3, to note that when events are available,
+ the epoll file descriptor will indicate as being readable.
+ mtk
+ Add some further explanation to Q5/A5 about why an epoll file
+ descriptor cannot be passed across a Unix domain socket.
+
+posixoptions.7
+ mtk
+ Add SEE ALSO entry for standards(7).
+
+regex.7
+ mtk
+ Add grep(1) to SEE ALSO.
