Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
+access.2
+ mtk
+ Since 2.6.20, access() honours the MS_NOEXEC mount flag.
+ Jorge Peixoto de Morais Neto / mtk
+ Improve ENOENT description.
+
+clone.2
+ mtk
+ Added some detail to the prototype.
+ Added some notes on IA-64's clone2().
+

+ mtk
+ Add text to note that EPOLLRDHUP appeared in kernel 2.6.17.
+
+faccessat.2
+ Justin Pryzby
+ Various fixes as per Debian bug 411177.
+ * s/effective/real/ in description test.
+ * added <fcntl.h> to synopsis.
+ * various other changes.
+
+getrlimit.2
+ mtk / Fedora downstream patches; thanks to Ivana Varekova
+ Added a few words to note that RLIMIT_NPROC is really a limit on
+ threads.
+
+io_cancel.2
+io_destroy.2
+io_getevents.2
+io_setup.2
+io_submit.2
+ Fedora downstream patches; thanks to Ivana Varekova
+ s%linux/aio.h%libaio.h% in SYNOPSIS.
+ Changed return type from "long" to "int".
+
+mbind.2
+ Samuel Thibault / mtk
+ Fix EINVAL description.
+ See Debian bug 411777.
+
+mincore.2
+ Nick Piggin
+ Kernel 2.6.21 fixes several earlier bugs in mincore().
+ Nick Pollitt
+ Remove words "of a file" -- mincore() is describing
+ memory residence information, not properties of a file.
+ mtk
+ Rewrote various parts to make the page clearer.
+
+mmap.2
+ mtk
+ Rewrote and reorganised various parts to be clearer.
+ Taken from Fedora downstream patches; thanks to Ivana Varekova
+ Removed text stating that mmap() never returns 0; that's
+ not true.
+
+mount.2
+ mtk / Val Henson
+ Document MS_RELATIME, new in Linux 2.6.20.
+
+open.2
+ Andre Majorel / mtk
+ On Linux, the error returned when opening a large file on a
+ 32-bit system is actually EFBIG, not EOVERFLOW.
+
+posix_fadvise.2
+ Pádraig Brady
+ Fix RETURN VALUE description: returns error number of failure.
+
+rename.2
+ mtk / Timo Sirainen
+ Various improvements to DESCRIPTION.
+ See Debian bug 416012.
+
+semop.2
+ mtk
+ If sops contains multiple operations, then these are performed
+ in array order. All Unix systems that I know of do this,
+ and some Linux applications depend on this behaviour. SUSv3
+ made no explicit statement here, but SUSv3 will explicitly
+ require this behaviour.
+ Small rewording of explanation of "atomically".
+
+signal.2
+ Nicolas François
+ Fix incorrect argument name in DESCRIPTION.
+ mtk
+ Small wording improvement.
+
+socket.2
+ Nicolas François
+ Add reference to ipv6.7 page.
+
+socketcall.2
+ Nicolas François
+ Fix .TH line.
+
+splice.2
+ Benjamin Gilbert
+ Fix inconsistent argument names in SYNOPSIS and DESCRIPTION.
+
+statvfs.2
+ mtk
+ Small wording clarification.
+
+symlink.2
+ mtk / Nicolas François
+ Removed cryptic text under CONFORMING to referring to
+ "open(2) and NFS". There is no relevant text in open.2 as
+ far as I (mtk) can see.
+
+time.2
+ mtk / Reuben Thomas
+ Remove sentence "gettimeofday() obsoleting time() on 4.3BSD".
+ This information is old, and probably no longer relevant.
+ See Debian bug 403888.
+
+write.2
+ mtk, after an idea from a downstream Fedora patch.
+ Clarified discussion of /count == 0/ case.
+
+ptrace.2
+ Chuck Ebbert
+ When the parent receives an event with PTRACE_EVENT_* set,
+ the child is not in the normal signal delivery path. This
+ means the parent cannot do ptrace(PTRACE_CONT) with a signal
+ or ptrace(PTRACE_KILL). kill() with a SIGKILL signal can be
+ used instead to kill the child process after receiving one
+ of these messages.
+
+sched_setaffinity.2
+ mtk
+ Fix glibc version number in description of cpusetsize argument.
+
+vfork.2
+ mtk
+ Stripped some excess/outdated text from the BUGS section.
+
+basename.3
+ mtk / Jorge Peixoto de Morais Neto
+ Add text to clarify that the pointer returned by these
+ functions may be into some part of 'path'.
+
+dlopen.3
+ Taken from Fedora downstream patches; thanks to Ivana Varekova
+ + Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon
+ Add "#include <stdlib.h>" to example program.
+
+fclose.3
+ mtk
+ Complete rewrite. The existing page was hard to read,
+ and the RETURN VALUE description seems to be wrong.
+
+getopt.3
+ mtk
+ Added getopt() example program.
+ mtk
+ Add a few words to clarify the operation of the GNU-specific double-colon
+ feature, which allows options to have optional arguments.
+ See Debian bug352139.
+
+glob.3
+ Nicolas François
+ Fix PROTOTYPE.
+
+inet_network.3
+ mtk, after an idea from a downstream Fedora patch.
+ Clarified description of inet_network().
+
+log.3
+ Nicolas François
+ Fix .TH line.
+
+log10.3
+ Nicolas François
+ Fix .TH line.
+
+malloc.3
+ Nicolas François
+ Small rewording to mention calloc().
+
+posix_openpt.3
+ Martín Ferrari
+ Fix return type in SYNOPSIS; as per Debian bug 400971.
+ Needs _XOPEN_SOURCE == 600; as per Debian bug 400975.
+ Julien BLACHE
+ s/ptsname/posix_openpt/ in RETURN VALUE
+
+re_comp.3
+ Taken from Fedora downstream patches; thanks to Ivana Varekova
+ Add "#define _REGEX_RE_COMP" to SYNOPSIS.
+
+regex.3
+ Nicolas François
+ Fix .TH line.
+
+termios.3
+ mtk
+ Added .SS headers to give some structure to this page; and a small
+ amount of reordering.
+ mtk
+ Added a section on canonical and non-canonical mode.
+ mtk
+ Enhanced the discussion of "raw" mode for cfmakeraw().
+ mtk
+ Document CMSPAR.
+ mtk
+ Make description of PARODD a little clearer.
+ Reuben Thomas
+ Add SEE ALSO link to tty_ioctl.4
+ mtk
+ Add SEE ALSO link to console_ioctl.4

+ Taken from Fedora downstream patches; thanks to Ivana Varekova
+ s/curses/ncurses/ under SEE ALSO
+
+bootparam.7
+ Taken from Fedora downstream patches; thanks to Ivana Varekova
+ Documented "mem=nopentium".
+
+feature_test_macros.7
+ mtk
+ The default treatment of _POSIX_C_SOURCE changed in glibc 2.4.
+ mtk, after a suggestion by Justin Pryzby
+ Added some text warning that the "__" macros the
+ <features.h> defines internally should never be
+ directly defined by programs.
+ mtk, based on notes by Jakub Jelinek
+ Document _FORTIFY_SOURCE
+ (See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-09/msg02055.html )
+ mtk
+ Document _REENTRANT and _THREAD_SAFE.
+
+mdoc.7
+ mtk / Nicolas François
+ Remove CONFIGURATION section, since this does not seem to be
+ true for Linux.
+
+svipc.7
+ Nicolas François
+ Fix data types in associated data structures;
+ remove non-existent semzcnt and semncnt fields.
+
+time.7
