Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
+clone.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Since 2.6.30, CLONE_NEWIPC also supports POSIX message queues
+
+delete_module.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Small rewording of description of effect of O_TRUNC
+
+getrlimit.2
+ Michael Kerrisk [Trevor Woerner]
+ Document Linux's nonstandard treatment or RLIMIT_CPU soft limit
+ Upon encountering the RLIMIT_CPU soft limit when a SIGXCPU handler
+ has been installed, Linux invokes the signal handler *and* raises
+ the soft limit by one second. This behavior repeats until the
+ limit is encountered. No other implementation that I tested
+ (Solaris 10, FreeBSD 9.0, OpenBSD 5.0) does this, and it seems
+ unlikely to be POSIX-conformant. The (Linux-specific)
+ RLIMIT_RTTIME soft limit exhibits similar behavior.
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Point reader at discussion of /proc/[pid]/limits in proc(5)
+
+io_getevents.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ io_getevents() may cause segfault when called with invalid ctx_id
+ For reference see: http://marc.info/?l=linux-aio&m=130089887002435&w=2
+
+recv.2
+ Michael Kerrisk [Eric Dumazet]
+ UNIX domain sockets support MSG_TRUNC since 3.4
+
+sendmmsg.2
+ Elie De Brauwer
+ Add example program for sendmmsg()
+
+stat.2
+ Simon Paillard
+ Clarify description of EOVERFLOW error
+ The EOVERFLOW error is not only for st_size, but also
+ inode and block size fields. See glibc source file
+ sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/xstatconv.c and kernel source
+ file fs/stat.c. Also, fix bit/byte confusion
+ See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604928
+
+syscalls.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Update various references to "i386" to "x86"
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Add s390_runtime_instr(2)
+
+sysctl.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Mention CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Calls to sysctl() log warnings to the kernel log since 2.6.24
+
+syslog.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Substantially reorganize discussion of commands
+ Make the layout of the discussion of the commands
+ more readable.
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Add kernel symbolic 'type' names
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Clarify SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_UNREAD semantics
+ SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_UNREAD returns the number of bytes
+ available for reading via SYSLOG_ACTION_READ.
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Clarify where SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL places data it reads
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Clarify semantics of SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR
+ The SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR command (5) does not really clear
+ the ring buffer; rather it affects the semantics of what
+ is returned by commands 3 (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL) and
+ 4 (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_CLEAR).
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Clarify discussion of privileges for commands 3 and 10
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Add mention of CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT
+
+wait.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ BUGS: Document odd waitid() behavior when 'infop' is NULL
+
+getifaddrs.3
+ Michael Kerrisk [Julien Cristau]
+ Update description of ifa_data to Linux 2.6+ reality
+ See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=526778
+
+memcmp.3
+ Michael Kerrisk [Jon Grant]
+ Enhance RETURN VALUE text and remove redundant text from DESCRIPTION
+ Note that sign of result equals sign of difference between
+ first two bytes that differ (treated as "unsigned char")."
+
+mkstemp.3
+ Michael Kerrisk [Florian Weimer]
+ Deemphasize discussion of mode 066 in glibc 2.0.6
+ Glibc 2.0.6 is now so ld that the discussion of details
+ of that version can be deemphasized placing just under
+ NOTES.
+
+ See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51811
+
+strcmp.3
+ Michael Kerrisk [Jon Grant]
+ Enhance RETURN VALUE text and remove redundant text from DESCRIPTION

+ first two bytes that differ (treated as "unsigned char")."

+ can occur for ttyname().
+

+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Remove some now documented functions
+
+proc.5

+ but the return value of getsockopt() is the path MTU.

+ Explain effect of SO_SNDTIMEO for connect()
