New and rewritten pages
-----------------------
-ioctl_fslabel.2
- Eric Sandeen
- New page documenting filesystem get/set label ioctl(2) operations
-
-
-Removed pages
--------------
-
-ioctl_list.2
- Michael Kerrisk [Heinrich Schuchardt, Eugene Syromyatnikov]
- This page was first added more than 20 years ago. Since
- that time it has seen hardly any update, and is by now
- very much out of date, as reported by Heinrich Schuchardt
- and confirmed by Eugene Syromyatnikov.
-
- As Heinrich says:
-
- Man-pages like netdevices.7 or ioctl_fat.2 are what is
- needed to help a user who does not want to read through the
- kernel code.
-
- If ioctl_list.2 has not been reasonably maintained since
- Linux 1.3.27 and hence is not a reliable source of
- information, shouldn't it be dropped?
-
- My answer is, yes (but let's move a little info into ioctl(2)).
-
Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
---------------------------------------------
-adjtimex.2
- Arnd Bergmann [Richard Cochran, Michael Kerrisk]
- Document clock_adjtime(2)

- Arnd Bergmann
- New link to adjtimex(2)
-
-
-Global changes
---------------
-
-Various pages
- Michael Kerrisk
- Retitle EXAMPLE section heading to EXAMPLES
- EXAMPLES appears to be the wider majority usage across various
- projects' manual pages, and is also what is used in the POSIX
- manual pages.
-
-Various pages
- Michael Kerrisk
- Correct bogus POSIX.1 standards names
- POSIX.1-2003 ==> POSIX.1-2001 TC1
- POSIX.1-2004 ==> POSIX.1-2001 TC2

- man-pages) is used, it always immediately follows CONFORMING TO
- and generally contains information related to standards. Remove
- the section heading, thus incorporating AVAILABILITY into
- CONFORMING TO.
+Removed pages

-close.2
- Michael Kerrisk [Lukas Czerner, Peter Schiffer, Thierry Lelegard]

- If one thread is blocked in an I/O system call on a file descriptor
- that is closed in another thread, then the blocking system call
- does not return immediately, but rather when the I/O operation
- completes. This surprises some people, but is longstanding
- behavior.

-
-open.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- Some '*at' APIs have functionality that isn't in conventional APIs
- Note that another reason to use the *at() APIs is to access
- 'flags' functionality that is not available in the corresponding
- conventional APIs.
- Michael Kerrisk
- Add a few more APIs to list in "Rationale for openat()..."
- There have been a few more dirfd APIs added in recent times.
