2014-07-08inotify.7: Clarify with events are generated for watched directoriesMichael Kerrisk1-7/+13
Really, with respect to watched directories, events fall into three classes (not two, as was shown): * Events that can be generated only for the watched directory. * Events that can be generated only for objects that are inside the watched directory. * Events that can be generated both for the watched directory and for objects inside the directory. So, mark these three classes more clearly in the list of inotify events. dd Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>

In fcntl(2) F_SETPIPE_SZ, F_GETPIPE_SZ and /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size are defined, however pipe(7) still defines the pipe capacity as being a static entity. Adding a reference to fcntl(2).

2014-06-29printf.3: Remove libc4 and libc5 detailsMichael Kerrisk1-46/+46
Rich Felker noted that "scare text" in the man page warned about the use of snprintf() on libc, and that some people had cited this as a reason not to use snprintf(). Linux libc is now ancient history, so there is no real need to keep that text. But, while we're at it, we may as well clear out all of the other ancient libc4 and libc5 pieces in the page. They are nowadays more clutter than help. Reported-by: Rich Felker <dalias@libc.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>

The target of a watch is an i-node, not a pathname. Clarify the text to prevent the reader possibly misunderstanding that establishing watches by two different links to the same file might create different watch descriptors. Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>
