man-pages-6.02

man-pages-6.02 - manual pages for GNU/Linux

I've released man-pages-6.02.  The release tarball will soon be
available on <kernel.org>.

The most notable changes in this release are the following:

-  Rewritten pages for string copying functions.  These now use
   consistent language.  Also added a new string_copying(7) page that
   serves as an overview of all such functions, and details which is
   appropriate for which uses.

-  Use _Nullable for documenting which functions accept NULL as a
   meaningful value in the function prototypes in the SYNOPSIS.

-  Use VLA syntax for documenting function parameters that are treated
   as arrays.  This uses syntax not accepted by compilers.

-  Rewritten repository documentation (README, CONTRIBUTING, INSTALL, ...).

-  Documentation for new APIs, such as MADV_COLLAPSE in madvise(2).

Thank you all for contributing.
