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

258755b2 | 474 | Noted use of _XOPEN_SOURCE to get macros <sytdlib.h> |
9651df75 MK |
475 | as for wait(2). |
476 | ||
477 | mtk | |
478 | Changed name of argument from 'string' to 'command' (like POSIX). | |
479 | ||
480 | Noted that glibc does nowadays explicitly check for the existence | |
755b5e17 | 481 | of the shell if 'command' is NULL, rather than the older behavior |
9651df75 MK |
482 | of assuming the shell exists and always returning 1 if |
483 | 'command' is NULL. | |
484 | ||
485 | Other wording and formatting clean-ups. | |
486 | ||
487 | undocumented.3 | |
488 | Remove some functions names that *are* documented. | |

559 | multi-threaded programs. | |
560 | Generally cleaned up the discussion of F_SETOWN. | |
561 | ||
562 | Updated CONFORMING TO to note that F_GETOWN and F_SETOWN are | |
563 | now in POSIX. | |
564 | ||
565 | link.2 | |
566 | mtk | |
567 | Noted discrepancy between Linux and POSIX.1 when oldpath | |
568 | is a symbolic link. | |
569 | See: http://bugs.linuxbase.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367 | |
570 | and: http://www.opengroup.org/austin/mailarchives/ag/msg08152.html | |
571 | ||
572 | Michael Haardt / mtk | |
573 | Clarified EXDEV error description: it isn't possible to link | |
574 | across mount points, even if the mount points refer to the same | |
575 | file system. | |
576 | ||

580 | |
581 | pipe.2 | |
582 | As per message from Serguei Leontiev | |
583 | Removed SVr2, AT&T, and BSD from CONFORMING TO, since | |
584 | a pipe on those systems is actually bidirectional. | |
258755b2 | 585 | (Pipes are implemented as STREAMS on the former, and |
4667b1b5 MK |
586 | sockets on the latter.) |
587 | ||
588 | posix_fadvise.2 | |
589 | mtk | |
590 | Noted kernel version where posix_fadvise() appeared and | |

595 | Clarified EXDEV error description: it isn't possible to rename | |

755b5e17 | 614 | Added notes on non-standard behavior: Linux allows 'buf' to |
4667b1b5 MK |
615 | be NULL, but POSIX.1 doesn't specify this and it's non-portable. |
616 | ||
617 | uselib.2 | |
618 | Andries Brouwer | |
619 | Improved DESCRIPTION; clarified distinction between | |
620 | EACCES and ENOEXEC. | |
621 | ||
622 | bcopy.3 | |
623 | Heikki Orsila | |
90369a2c | 624 | bcopy() handles overlapping case, but memcpy() does not, |
4667b1b5 MK |
625 | so for consistency memmove() should be also mentioned. |

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

637 | ||
638 | strftime.3 | |

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

1840 | ==================== Changes in man-pages-2.10 ==================== | |
1841 | ||
1842 | Released: 2005-10-19 | |
1843 | ||
1844 | Global changes | |
1845 | -------------- | |
1846 | ||
258755b2 MK |
1847 | The changes in this release consist *solely* of formatting fixes, with |
1848 | the aim bringing greater consistency to the manual pages according to | |
d85bdf28 MK |
1849 | the following rules: |
1850 | ||
258755b2 | 1851 | -- Function name references should *always* be followed by |
d85bdf28 MK |
1852 | parentheses, "()" (possibly containing a manual page section |
1853 | number). | |
1854 | ||
258755b2 | 1855 | -- The parentheses following a function name should *not* be |
d85bdf28 MK |
1856 | formatted. Thus, for example, instead of: |
1857 | ||
1858 | .B name() | |
1859 | ||
1860 | one should write: | |
1861 | ||
1862 | .BR name () | |
1863 | ||
258755b2 | 1864 | Much of the change was automated using two scripts: |
d85bdf28 | 1865 | add_parens_for_own_funcs.sh and unformat_parens.sh. |
258755b2 | 1866 | For the (possible) benefit of downstream manual page maintainers and |
d85bdf28 MK |
1867 | translators, I have placed these scripts in a new subdirectory 'scripts'. |
1868 | ||
1869 | NOTE THE FOLLOWING POINTS WELL: | |
1870 | ||
1871 | -- These scripts provide a computer-assisted solution to the above | |
1872 | two goals. However, they are not perfect, and their output should | |
258755b2 | 1873 | be scanned by a human. (To see what changes the two scripts |
d85bdf28 MK |
1874 | *would* make, without making them, use the "-n" command line option.) |
1875 | ||
1876 | -- The scripts do not fix all instances that violate the above rules: | |
1877 | some manual fixes are required. Two further scripts are provided | |
258755b2 | 1878 | to help find remaining instances of function names without |
d85bdf28 MK |
1879 | following "()": find_dots_no_parens.sh and find_slashes_no_parens.sh. |
1880 | ||
1881 | The following changes were made: | |
1882 | ||
258755b2 | 1883 | -- add_parens_for_own_funcs.sh was applied to the pages in Sections |
d85bdf28 MK |
1884 | 2 and 3. |
1885 | ||
258755b2 | 1886 | -- unformat_parens.sh was applied to pages in Sections 2, 3, 4, and 7 |
d85bdf28 MK |
1887 | (the only sections where such changes were required). |
1888 | ||
1889 | -- further changes (not so very many) were performed by hand. | |
258755b2 | 1890 | (found places to fix with the assistance of find_dots_no_parens.sh |
d85bdf28 | 1891 | and find_slashes_no_parens.sh). |

1989 | Removed words "as well" (added in 2.11) from the phrase | |
1990 | "and it gets these last five capabilities if its fsuid is 0 as well" | |
1991 | since there are (unusual) situations in which fsuid can be 0 while | |

202a8610 | 1993 | |
8fa20889 MK |

2034 | places. | |
2035 | ||
8fa20889 MK |
2036 | Various pages |
2037 | mtk | |
2038 | Function and page cross references that were italicized were | |
2039 | made bold (which is how the majority of function and page | |
2040 | cross references were already done). | |
2d4596fc | 2041 | |
8fa20889 MK |
2042 | Various pages |

2086 | ||
2087 | rexec.3 | |
2088 | mtk / Justin Pryzby | |
2089 | This page is taken as is from the FreeBSD 5.4 distribution. | |
258755b2 | 2090 | (Not checked against Linux reality, but likely things are |
565ecc02 | 2091 | the same.) |

2094 | Changes to individual pages |
2095 | --------------------------- | |
2096 | ||
2097 | arch_prctl.2 | |
2098 | mtk | |
2099 | Updated discussion about lack of prototype in glibc. | |
2100 | ||
2101 | execve.2 | |
2102 | mtk | |
2103 | Improved description of E2BIG error: it relates to the sum | |
2104 | of the bytes in both environment and argument list. | |
2105 | ||
2106 | fcntl.2 | |
2107 | mtk | |
2108 | Clarified parts of the discussion of file leases, | |
2109 | noting effect of open(O_NONBLOCK), interruption | |
2110 | by signal handler, or termination by signal in | |
8fa20889 MK |
2111 | lease breaker. In response to |
2112 | http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=339037 | |
565ecc02 MK |
2113 | |
2114 | stat.2 | |
2115 | mtk / Stefan BrĂ¼ns | |
2116 | Added LINUX NOTES describing nanosecond timestamps. | |
2117 | ||
2118 | frexp.3 | |
2119 | Volker Reichelt / mtk | |
258755b2 MK |
2120 | Fixed to point out that that frexp() returns a number whose |
2121 | *absolute* value is >= 0.5 and < 1. Amended the example | |
565ecc02 MK |
2122 | program to demonstrate this. |
2123 | ||
258755b2 | 2124 | open.2 |
565ecc02 MK |
2125 | mtk / Avery Pennarun |
2126 | Add EWOULDBLOCK error for file leases. | |

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