+        Note that the first argv[] value should contain name of executable
+
+fcntl.2

+        Note that F_GETFL also retrieves file access mode
+
+getrlimit.2
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Ryan Mullen]
+        Remove mention of kernel versions in discussion RLIMIT_CPU
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Seonghun Lim]
+        Fix example program and add _FILE_OFFSET_BITS requirement
+
+mlock.2
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Brian M. Carlson]
+        Clarify EINVAL error
+            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?625747

+    Seonghun Lim
+        Fix small bug in example program
+            The description of the example program says that it makes the
+            third page "read-only". Thus use PROT_READ instead of PROT_NONE.
+
+open.2
+    Folkert van Heusden
+        Remove text describing O_CLOEXEC as Linux-specific
+            O_CLOEXEC is specified in POSIX.1-2008, as noted
+            elsewhere in the page.
+
+readlink.2
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Dan Jacobson]
+        SEE ALSO: Add readlink(1)
+
+sendfile.2
+    Akira Fujita
+        Since 2.6.33, 'out_fd' can refer to any file type
+            Linux kernel commit cc56f7de7f00d188c7c4da1e9861581853b9e92f

+        Fix formula describing function
+            The man pages for cacos(), cacosh(), catan(), catanh()
+            contain incorrect formulae describing the functions.

+
+cacosh.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add example program

+
+err.3
+    Seonghun Lim
+        Clean up description of error message source
+            In the second paragraph of DESCRIPTION section, one of the
+            sources of error messages is incorrect: the four functions obtain
+            error message only from errno, and "a code" is just relevant
+            with errc() and warnc(), which are not present on Linux.
+            see http://www.unix.com/man-page/freebsd/3/ERR/ .
+
+            Then, the third paragraph becomes a duplicate.
+

+            As noted in the DESCRIPTION, the file descriptor must be writable
+            in order to place a lock.
+
+malloc.3
+    Seonghun Lim
+        Reorder prototypes in SYNOPSIS
+            calloc() comes before realloc() in the other sections,
+            so should do in SYNOPSIS, too.
+
+mbstowcs.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        SEE ALSO: add reference to wcstombs(3)
