-
-getdents.2
- Michael Kerrisk [Dima Tisnek]
- Update timestamp
- Really just a marker to record the reporters of bugs
- that stemmed from the fact that the page did not
- document getdents64(). I'll fix things up in the changelog.
-
- See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14795
-
-getrlimit.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- Note that the underlying system call for prlimit() is prlimit64()
- Michael Kerrisk

- declaration.

- SIOCADDRT accepts in6_rtmsg in INET6 protocol
- Heinrich Schuchardt

-
-llseek.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- Advise reader to use lseek(2) instead
- Michael Kerrisk
- llseek() exists on 32-bit platforms to support seeking to large offsets
-
-madvise.2
- David Rientjes
- Specify MADV_REMOVE returns EINVAL for hugetlbfs
- madvise(2) actually returns with error EINVAL for MADV_REMOVE
- when used for hugetlb VMAs, not EOPNOTSUPP, and this has been
- the case since MADV_REMOVE was introduced in commit f6b3ec238d12
- ("madvise(MADV_REMOVE): remove pages from tmpfs shm backing
- store"). Specify the exact behavior.

- Michael Kerrisk [Felix Sedlmeier]

-qsort.3
- Michael Kerrisk [Rob Landley]
- alphasort() and versionsort() are not suitable for 'compar'
- In glibc 2.10, the prototypes of alphasort() and versionsort()
- were changed so that the arguments switched from 'const void *' to
- 'const struct dirent **', to match the POSIX.1-2008 specification
- of alphasort(). As such, compiler warnings will result if
- these functions are used as the arguments of qsort().
-
- warning: passing argument 4 of 'qsort' from incompatible
- pointer type
- expected '__compar_fn_t' but argument is of type
- 'int (*)(const struct dirent **, const struct dirent **)'
-
- Therefore, remove the ancient NOTES text suggesting that
- alphasort() and versionsort() can be used as suitable
- 'compar' arguments for qsort().
