- Add text on POSIX terms "file mode bits" and "file permission bits"
- Recent changes to various pages employ this distinction.
- Michael Kerrisk
- Tighten wording: use 'mode bit' rather than 'permission bit'
- According to POSIX, the the 9 UGO*RWX bits are permissions, and
- 'mode' is used to refer to collectively to those bits plus sticky,
- set-UID, and set_GID bits.

-CPU_SET.3
- Chris Metcalf
- Clarify language about "available" cpus
- The CPU_SET.3 man page uses the adjective "available" when
- explaining what the argument to CPU_SET() means. This is
- confusing, since "available" isn't well-defined. The kernel
- has a set of adjectives (possible, present, online, and active)
- that qualify cpus, but normally none of these are what the
- cpu_set_t bit index means: it's just "which cpu", using the
- kernel's internal numbering system, even if that cpu isn't
- possible or present.
-
- This change removes the word "available" and adds a sentence
- warning that cpu sets may not be contiguous due to dynamic
- cpu hotplug, etc.
