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.) | |

e360219d MK |
474 | Noted use of _XOPEN_SOURCE to get macros from <stdlib.h> |
475 | for wait(2). | |
9651df75 MK |
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 | ||
577 | mincore.2 | |

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 | |
591 | noted bug in handling of 'len' in kernels < 2.6.6. | |
592 | ||

611 | |
612 | times.2 | |

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. |
626 | ||
627 | getmntent_r.3 | |
628 | Martin (Joey) Schulze | |
629 | New link to man3/getmntent.3. | |

636 | Created as link to strstr.3. | |
637 | ||
638 | strftime.3 | |
639 | mtk | |
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 | ||
