- effect of locking.

Global changes
--------------
-A few pages
- Michael Kerrisk
- ERRORS: correct alphabetic order
-
-A few pages
- Michael Kerrisk
- Place SEE ALSO entries in correct order
-
-A few pages
- Michael Kerrisk
- Arrange .SH sections in correct order
-
-Various pages
- Michael Kerrisk
- Fix EBADF error description
- Make the description of the EBADF error for invalid 'dirfd' more
- uniform. In particular, note that the error only occurs when the
- pathname is relative, and that it occurs when the 'dirfd' is
- neither valid *nor* has the value AT_FDCWD.
-
-Various pages
- Michael Kerrisk
- ERRORS: combine errors into a single alphabetic list
- These pages split out extra errors for some APIs into a separate
- list. Probably, the pages are easier to ready if all errors are
- combined into a single list.
-
- Note that there still remain a few pages where the errors are
- listed separately for different APIs. For the moment, it seems
- best to leave those pages as is, since the error lists are
- largely distinct in those pages.
-
-VArious pages
- Michael Kerrisk
- Terminology clean-up: "mount point" ==> "mount"
- Many times, these pages use the terminology "mount point", where
- "mount" would be better. A "mount point" is the location at which
- a mount is attached. A "mount" is an association between a
- filesystem and a mount point.
-
-accept.2
-access.2
-getpriority.2
-mlock.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- ERRORS: combine errors into a single list
- These pages split out errors into separate lists (perhaps per API,
- perhaps "may" vs "shall", perhaps "Linux-specific" vs
- standard(??)), but there's no good reason to do this. It makes
- the error list harder to read, and is inconsistent with other
- pages. So, combine the errors into a single list.
-
-fanotify_mark.2
-futimesat.2
-mount_setattr.2
-statx.2
-symlink.2
-mkfifo.3
- Michael Kerrisk
- Refer the reader to openat(2) for explanation of why 'dirfd' is useful
-
-Various pages
- Thomas Voss [Alejandro Colomar]
- Consistently use '*argv[]'
-
