Subject: _syscall.2, accept.2, epoll_create.2, inotify_add_watch.2, ioctl.2, msgget.2, msgop... 
X-Git-Tag: man-pages-3.24~71
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2fda57bd09e52d892a2d703c34a0400a0b1031d6;p=thirdparty%2Fman-pages.git

_syscall.2, accept.2, epoll_create.2, inotify_add_watch.2, ioctl.2, msgget.2, msgop.2, open.2, prctl.2, sched_setscheduler.2, semctl.2, semget.2, swapon.2, addseverity.3, cacosh.3, csqrt.3, dirfd.3, drand48.3, fputws.3, mq_send.3, posix_openpt.3, puts.3, sched_getcpu.3, shm_open.3, sqrt.3, sysconf.3, tgamma.3, ulimit.3, credentials.7, svipc.7: Global fix: s/non-negative/nonnegative/

The tendency in English, as prescribed in style guides like
Chicago MoS, is towards removing hyphens after prefixes
like "non-" etc.
