448 | as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=276248 | |
449 | ||
f5fed0f6 | 450 | Changed range for "%S" from 0..61 to 0..60. |
9651df75 | 451 | |
258755b2 | 452 | SUSv3 says 0..60. I think the manual page probably says |
9651df75 | 453 | 0..61, because that's what SUSv2 said. |
258755b2 | 454 | (Some other implementations' man pages also say 0..61 -- |
9651df75 MK |
455 | e.g., Solaris 8 & 9, Tru64 5.1B; FreeBSD 5.1 says 0..60.) |
456 | ||
457 | The glibc manual currently says 0..60. | |
458 | ||
258755b2 | 459 | Given that SUSv3 says 0..60, I've changed the |
9651df75 MK |
460 | manual page to also say this: |
461 | ||
462 | -The second as a decimal number (range 00 to 61). | |
463 | +The second as a decimal number (range 00 to 60). | |
464 | +(The range is up to 60 to allow for occasional leap seconds.) | |

258755b2 | 475 | Noted use of _XOPEN_SOURCE to get macros <sytdlib.h> |
9651df75 MK |
476 | as for wait(2). |
477 | ||
478 | mtk | |
479 | Changed name of argument from 'string' to 'command' (like POSIX). | |
480 | ||
481 | Noted that glibc does nowadays explicitly check for the existence | |
755b5e17 | 482 | of the shell if 'command' is NULL, rather than the older behavior |
9651df75 MK |
483 | of assuming the shell exists and always returning 1 if |
484 | 'command' is NULL. | |
485 | ||
486 | Other wording and formatting clean-ups. | |
487 | ||
488 | undocumented.3 | |
489 | Remove some functions names that *are* documented. | |

560 | multi-threaded programs. | |
561 | Generally cleaned up the discussion of F_SETOWN. | |
562 | ||
563 | Updated CONFORMING TO to note that F_GETOWN and F_SETOWN are | |
564 | now in POSIX. | |
565 | ||
566 | link.2 | |
567 | mtk | |
568 | Noted discrepancy between Linux and POSIX.1 when oldpath | |
569 | is a symbolic link. | |
570 | See: http://bugs.linuxbase.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367 | |

572 | ||
573 | Michael Haardt / mtk | |
574 | Clarified EXDEV error description: it isn't possible to link | |
575 | across mount points, even if the mount points refer to the same | |
576 | file system. | |
577 | ||

581 | |
582 | pipe.2 | |
583 | As per message from Serguei Leontiev | |
584 | Removed SVr2, AT&T, and BSD from CONFORMING TO, since | |
585 | a pipe on those systems is actually bidirectional. | |
258755b2 | 586 | (Pipes are implemented as STREAMS on the former, and |
4667b1b5 MK |
587 | sockets on the latter.) |
588 | ||
589 | posix_fadvise.2 | |
590 | mtk | |
591 | Noted kernel version where posix_fadvise() appeared and | |

755b5e17 | 615 | Added notes on non-standard behavior: Linux allows 'buf' to |
4667b1b5 MK |
616 | be NULL, but POSIX.1 doesn't specify this and it's non-portable. |
617 | ||
618 | uselib.2 | |
619 | Andries Brouwer | |
620 | Improved DESCRIPTION; clarified distinction between | |
621 | EACCES and ENOEXEC. | |
622 | ||
623 | bcopy.3 | |
624 | Heikki Orsila | |
90369a2c | 625 | bcopy() handles overlapping case, but memcpy() does not, |
4667b1b5 MK |
626 | so for consistency memmove() should be also mentioned. |

628 | getmntent_r.3 | |
629 | Martin (Joey) Schulze | |
630 | New link to man3/getmntent.3. | |

638 | ||
639 | strftime.3 | |

641 | Noted that SUSv2 allowed a range of 00 to 61 for %S specifier. | |
642 | ||
643 | strstr.3 | |
644 | mtk | |
645 | Added description of strcasestr(). | |
646 | ||

1841 | ==================== Changes in man-pages-2.10 ==================== | |
1842 | ||
1843 | Released: 2005-10-19 | |
1844 | ||
1845 | Global changes | |
1846 | -------------- | |
1847 | ||
258755b2 MK |
1848 | The changes in this release consist *solely* of formatting fixes, with |
1849 | the aim bringing greater consistency to the manual pages according to | |
d85bdf28 MK |
1850 | the following rules: |
1851 | ||
258755b2 | 1852 | -- Function name references should *always* be followed by |
d85bdf28 MK |
1853 | parentheses, "()" (possibly containing a manual page section |
1854 | number). | |
1855 | ||
258755b2 | 1856 | -- The parentheses following a function name should *not* be |
d85bdf28 MK |
1857 | formatted. Thus, for example, instead of: |
1858 | ||
1859 | .B name() | |
1860 | ||
1861 | one should write: | |
1862 | ||
1863 | .BR name () | |
1864 | ||
258755b2 | 1865 | Much of the change was automated using two scripts: |
d85bdf28 | 1866 | add_parens_for_own_funcs.sh and unformat_parens.sh. |
258755b2 | 1867 | For the (possible) benefit of downstream manual page maintainers and |
d85bdf28 MK |
1868 | translators, I have placed these scripts in a new subdirectory 'scripts'. |
1869 | ||
1870 | NOTE THE FOLLOWING POINTS WELL: | |
1871 | ||
1872 | -- These scripts provide a computer-assisted solution to the above | |
1873 | two goals. However, they are not perfect, and their output should | |
258755b2 | 1874 | be scanned by a human. (To see what changes the two scripts |
d85bdf28 MK |
1875 | *would* make, without making them, use the "-n" command line option.) |
1876 | ||
1877 | -- The scripts do not fix all instances that violate the above rules: | |
1878 | some manual fixes are required. Two further scripts are provided | |
258755b2 | 1879 | to help find remaining instances of function names without |
d85bdf28 MK |
1880 | following "()": find_dots_no_parens.sh and find_slashes_no_parens.sh. |
1881 | ||
1882 | The following changes were made: | |
1883 | ||
258755b2 | 1884 | -- add_parens_for_own_funcs.sh was applied to the pages in Sections |
d85bdf28 MK |
1885 | 2 and 3. |
1886 | ||
258755b2 | 1887 | -- unformat_parens.sh was applied to pages in Sections 2, 3, 4, and 7 |
d85bdf28 MK |
1888 | (the only sections where such changes were required). |
1889 | ||
1890 | -- further changes (not so very many) were performed by hand. | |
258755b2 | 1891 | (found places to fix with the assistance of find_dots_no_parens.sh |
d85bdf28 | 1892 | and find_slashes_no_parens.sh). |

1990 | Removed words "as well" (added in 2.11) from the phrase | |
1991 | "and it gets these last five capabilities if its fsuid is 0 as well" | |
1992 | since there are (unusual) situations in which fsuid can be 0 while | |

202a8610 | 1994 | |
8fa20889 MK |

2035 | places. | |
2036 | ||
8fa20889 MK |
2037 | Various pages |
2038 | mtk | |
2039 | Function and page cross references that were italicized were | |
2040 | made bold (which is how the majority of function and page | |
2041 | cross references were already done). | |
2d4596fc | 2042 | |
8fa20889 MK |
2043 | Various pages |

2087 | ||
2088 | rexec.3 | |
2089 | mtk / Justin Pryzby | |
2090 | This page is taken as is from the FreeBSD 5.4 distribution. | |
258755b2 | 2091 | (Not checked against Linux reality, but likely things are |
565ecc02 | 2092 | the same.) |

2095 | Changes to individual pages |
2096 | --------------------------- | |
2097 | ||
2098 | arch_prctl.2 | |
2099 | mtk | |
2100 | Updated discussion about lack of prototype in glibc. | |
2101 | ||
2102 | execve.2 | |
2103 | mtk | |
2104 | Improved description of E2BIG error: it relates to the sum | |
2105 | of the bytes in both environment and argument list. | |
2106 | ||
2107 | fcntl.2 | |
2108 | mtk | |
2109 | Clarified parts of the discussion of file leases, | |
2110 | noting effect of open(O_NONBLOCK), interruption | |
2111 | by signal handler, or termination by signal in | |
8fa20889 MK |
2112 | lease breaker. In response to |
2113 | http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=339037 | |
565ecc02 MK |
2114 | |
2115 | stat.2 | |
2116 | mtk / Stefan BrĂ¼ns | |
2117 | Added LINUX NOTES describing nanosecond timestamps. | |
2118 | ||
2119 | frexp.3 | |
2120 | Volker Reichelt / mtk | |
258755b2 MK |
2121 | Fixed to point out that that frexp() returns a number whose |
2122 | *absolute* value is >= 0.5 and < 1. Amended the example | |
565ecc02 MK |
2123 | program to demonstrate this. |
2124 | ||
258755b2 | 2125 | open.2 |
565ecc02 MK |
2126 | mtk / Avery Pennarun |
2127 | Add EWOULDBLOCK error for file leases. | |

2129 | http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=339037 | |
565ecc02 MK |
2130 | |
2131 | putenv.3 | |
2132 | mtk | |
258755b2 MK |
2133 | Although the glibc implementation returns -1 on error (and some |
2134 | other man pages (e.g., the BSDs) also document that value for | |
565ecc02 MK |
2135 | error returns), SUSv3 merely says "non-zero" (and this is |
2136 | what manual pages on many implementations also say). | |
2137 | ||
2138 | posix_memalign.3 | |
2139 | mtk | |
258755b2 | 2140 | Formerly, the page said that all systems declare memalign() in |
565ecc02 MK |
2141 | <malloc.h>. In fact, many declare it in <stdlib.h>. |
2142 | ||
2143 | strtok.3 | |
2144 | mtk | |
258755b2 | 2145 | Almost a complete rewrite after Angelo pointed out |
565ecc02 MK |
2146 | that the existing page was deficient. |
2147 | ||
2148 | sd.4 | |
258755b2 | 2149 | Martin Schulze |
565ecc02 MK |
2150 | Remove SEE ALSO for non-existent scsi.4. |
2151 | ||
2152 | proc.5 | |
2153 | mtk | |
2154 | Updated discussion of /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max. | |
2155 | ||
2156 | signal.7 | |
2157 | mtk | |
2158 | Added pthreads.7 to SEE ALSO. | |
258755b2 | 2159 | |
