Previously, they were spread (and duplicated) in other pages, or in system_data_types.7 (with links in man3/). * Add man3head/ for pages that document header files. * Add man3const/ for pages that document constants. * Improve consistency of man(7) source * Manual pages sections: * Title (.TH): * Remove 5th argument to TH (middle-header). * Specify "Linux man-pages" and the version in the 4th argument (left-footer). * Add the LIBRARY section. This section standardizes a way to document the library that provides a given interface. * Add the CAVEATS section. BUGS and NOTES were serving that purpose before, but CAVEATS is more appropriate. * Rename the CONFORMING TO section to STANDARDS for consistency with other projects, such as the BSDs. * SYNOPSIS: Add the ISO C2X [[deprecated]] attribute for functions that have been deprecated or removed. * EXAMPLES: Improve consistency of C source code. Also, reduce the number of warnings that several linting tools emit. * COLOPHON: Remove section (its purpose is now served by the title). - Update to version 6.01 * Updated interface documentation * Manual pages' sections: * Title (.TH): * Remove the hardcoded date (TH 3rd argument), and replace it by a placeholder that should be changed when creating the tarball. This removes the need for a tstamp commit before each release. - Update to version 6.02 * Updated manual pages and interface documentation, noteable: * copy_file_range.2: Fix wrong kernel version information * process_madvise.2: Fix capability and ptrace requirements * madvise.2: Update Transparent Huge Pages file/shmem documentation for Linux 5.4+. * Use correct letter case in manual page titles, instead of uppercase. * Use \" t comments when appropriate (Lintian needs this). * SYNOPSIS: * Add _Nullable for functions that receive NULL as a meaningful input. * Use VLA syntax to clarify the meaning of size parameters, rather than hiding it in possibly-confusing text. * Use [[noreturn]] instead of noreturn, which will be deprecated soon. - Rebased man-pages-tcp_fack.patch - Added keyring and signed source ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Sep 6 13:40:10 UTC 2021 - pgajdos@suse.com - version update to 5.13 [bsc#1189908] http://linux-man-pages.blogspot.com/2021/06/man-pages-512-released.html ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Aug 3 09:32:32 UTC 2021 - pgajdos@suse.com - do not package man5/motd.5, it is provided by pam package [bsc#1188724] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jun 22 06:30:59 UTC 2021 - pgajdos@suse.com - version update to 5.12 http://linux-man-pages.blogspot.com/2021/06/man-pages-512-released.html - deleted patches - man-pages-tty_ioctl.patch (upstreamed) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Mar 22 11:06:52 UTC 2021 - pgajdos@suse.com - version update to 5.11 http://linux-man-pages.blogspot.com/2021/03/man-pages-511-is-released.html - modified patches % man-pages-tty_ioctl.patch (refreshed) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Dec 28 09:11:48 UTC 2020 - pgajdos@suse.com - version update to 5.10 * added documentation of the faccessat2() system call * added a new subsection to the signal(7) manual page that provides a "big picture" of what happens when a signal handler is executed - deleted patches - man-pages-openat2.h-location.patch (upstreamed) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Nov 2 08:57:55 UTC 2020 - pgajdos@suse.com - version update to 5.09 http://linux-man-pages.blogspot.com/2020/11/man-pages-509-is-released.html - modified patches % man-pages-openat2.h-location.patch (refreshed) - [bsc#1185534] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Aug 13 12:46:18 UTC 2020 - pgajdos@suse.com - version update to 5.08 Newly documented interfaces in existing pages --------------------------------------------- prctl.2 Dave Martin Add SVE prctls (arm64) Add documentation for the the PR_SVE_SET_VL and PR_SVE_GET_VL prctls added in Linux 4.15 for arm64.

I think this improves things but I admit I'm not an expert at the low-level indentation directives. Update PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP info It turns out PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP was broken from 75f937f24bd9 (in Linux 2.6.31, the initial perf_event release) until 724b6daa1 (Linux 3.4). I've done some extensive kernel source code digging plus running tests of various kernels and I hope the info presented is accurate now. (Patch edited somewhat by mtk.) Improve sysfs files documentation This improves the documentation of the various perf_event_open()-related sysfs files. ptrace.2 If SEIZE was used, initial auto-attach stop is EVENT_STOP For every PTRACE_O_TRACEfoo option, mention that old-style SIGSTOP is replaced by PTRACE_EVENT_STOP if PTRACE_SEIZE attach was used. Mention the same thing again in the description of PTRACE_EVENT_STOP. Mention that PTRACE_PEEK* libc API and kernel API are different Clarify PTRACE_INTERRUPT, PTRACE_LISTEN, and group-stop behavior readlink.2 Document use of empty 'pathname' argument Change error check in example program from "< 0" to "== -1" setpgid.2 s/SIGTSTP/SIGTTIN/ when discussing reads from terminal See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60504 clog2.3 Note that these functions are still not present in glibc 2.17 dirfd.3 ATTRIBUTES: Note function that is thread-safe The function dirfd() is thread safe. div.3 ATTRIBUTES: Note functions that are thread-safe The functions div(), ldiv(), lldiv() and imaxdiv() are thread safe. fabs.3 ATTRIBUTES: Note functions that are thread-safe The functions fabs(), fabsf() and fabsl() are thread safe. fdim.3 ATTRIBUTES: Note functions that are thread-safe The functions fdim(), fdimf() and fdiml() are thread safe. fflush.3 ATTRIBUTES: Note function that is thread-safe The function fflush() is thread safe. finite.3 ATTRIBUTES: Note functions that are thread-safe The functions finite(), finitef(), finitel(), isinf(), isinff(), isinfl(), isnan(), isnanf() and isnanl() are thread safe. flockfile.3 ATTRIBUTES: Note functions that are thread-safe The functions flockfile(), ftrylockfile() and funlockfile() are thread safe. floor.3 ATTRIBUTES: Note functions that are thread-safe The functions floor(), floorf() and floorl() are thread safe. resolv.conf.5 Explain how to set empty domain See http://bugs.debian.org/463575 capabilities.7 Add open_by_handle_at(2) under CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH inotify.7 Clarify description of IN_MOVED_FROM and IN_MOVED_TO man-pages.7 DESCRIPTION should note versions for new interface features or behavior udp.7 Add missing #include directive Using the UDP_CORK socket option documented in udp.7 requires including <netinet/udp.h>. ld.so.8 Rework rpath token expansion text Describe $PLATFORM rpath token Describe $LIB rpath token Document LD_BIND_NOT Add reference to pthreads(7) in discussion of LD_ASSUME_KERNEL readlink.2 Fix possible race condition in readlink.2 example I noticed that the example in the readlink.2 man pages does error checking for a race condition that would cause the value of the symbolic link to get larger. However, it doesn't handle the opposite case, in which the value gets shorter. (The NULL terminator is always set at the old, longer offset.) This could cause the program to operate on uninitialized data. - removed source gai.conf.5 as upstream provides it yet - added fanotify_init.2, fanotify_mark.2, open_by_handle_at.2, name_to_handle_at.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Jul 15 13:28:05 CEST 2013 - pgajdos@suse.cz - update to version 3.52 * Various pages that formerly lacked the information now have a note under RETURN VALUE that errno is set on error. * Peng Haitao has submitted patches to around 50 pages that note functions that are thread-safe or thread-unsafe. For this purpose, the man-pages add a new section, ATTRIBUTES, as described in the man-pages(7) manual page. Peng Haitao's substantial work is ongoing, and more pages will add this information in the future. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu May 2 10:14:33 CEST 2013 - pgajdos@suse.cz - update to version 3.51 * Newly documented interfaces in existing pages sched_rr_get_interval.2 Document /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms proc.5 Document /proc/[pid]/map_files directory This directory was added in Linux v3.3 and provides info about files being mmap-ed in a way very similar to how /proc/[pid]/fd works. v2: Added examples of how links look like and noted dependency on kernel config option CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

Update feature test macro requirements The requirements quietly changed changed in glibc 2.14 See also http://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4749 Clarify differences between clone2() syscall and wrapper function Note those architectures where the sys_clone argument order differs Add short subsection noting that blackfin, m68k, and sparc are different Move clone2() text to subsection in description The description of ia64 clone2() should follow the discussion of the raw system call interface. Change subhead for ia64 discussion getcpu.2 Recommend that 'tcache' should be specified as NULL nowadays io_cancel.2 Improve description io_destroy.2 Improve description The description was rather vague, citing a "list of I/O contexts" and stating that it "can" cancel outstanding requests. This update makes things more concrete so that the reader knows exactly what's going on. io_getevents.2 The 'timeout' argument is not updated I looked back through the kernel code, and the timeout was never updated in any case. I've submitted a patch upstream to change the comment above io_getevents. io_setup.2 Clarify nr_events nr_events is technically the number of completion events that can be stored in the completion ring. The wording of the man page: "capable of receiving at least nr_events" seems dubious to me, only because I worry that folks might interpret that to mean 'nr_events' total, instead of 'nr_events' concurrently. Further, I've added information on where to find the per-user limit on 'nr_events', /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr. Let me know if you think that is not relevant. listxattr.2 Explain use of 'size' argument lseek.2 _GNU_SOURCE must be defined to get SEEK_DATE and SEEK_HOLE definitions See http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15312 mmap.2 Add pointers to relevant /proc files described in proc(5) posix_fadvise.2 pread.2 readahead.2 sync_file_range.2 truncate.2 Refer to syscall(2) for ABI semantics on certain 32-bit architectures Also: in sync_file_range.2 and posix_fadvise.2 remove description of conventional calling signature as flawed, and in posix_fadvise.2, de-emphasize focus on ARM, and rather phrase as a more general discussion of certain architectures. readdir.2 readdir(2) doesn't exist on x86-64 semop.2 Clarify the discussion of 'semadj' shmctl.2 Refer to proc(5) for description of /proc/sys/kernel/shm_rmid_forced syscall.2 Add notes that caution users when passing arguments to syscall() For example, passing 'long long' on ARM-32 requires special treatment. Document the exact calling convention for architecture system calls Add PA-RISC details under calling conventions Refine discussion of ARM and other ABIs syscalls.2 Update kernel version number at start of list umask.2 SEE ALSO: add acl(5) unshare.2 Update feature test macro requirements The requirements quietly changed changed in glibc 2.14 See also http://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4749 fopencookie.3 Correct definition of cookie_io_functions_t pthread_setname_np.3 The thread argument is passed in by value readir.3 seekdir.3 telldir.3 Eliminate the implication that these functions deal with "offsets" The directory position dealt with by the readdir() and friends is not a simple file offset in modern file systems. Typically, it is some kind of cookie value. Add text and make other changes to these pages to eliminate the implication that this is an offset, and warn the reader that directory positions should be treated strictly as opaque values. In the process, rename the 'offset' argument of seekdir(3) to 'loc', and add some text to readdir(3) to note that the 'd_off' field is the same value returned by telldir(3) at the current directory position. See also https://lwn.net/Articles/544298/ scalb.3 Fix prototypes for scalbf() and scalbl() sched_getcpu.3 Update feature test macro requirements The requirements quietly changed changed in glibc 2.14 See also http://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4749 ualarm.3 Add note on the behavior when 'usecs' is zero POSIX.1-2001 does not specify the behavior in this case and no other system that I checked documented the behavior. Probably, most or all systems do what Linux does in this case: cancel any pending alarm, just as alarm(0) does. Add that info in NOTES. elf.5 Add byte positions for all EI_xxx fields When describing e_ident, most of the EI_xxx defines mention the exact byte number. This is useful when manually hacking an ELF with a hex editor. However, the last few fields don't do this, which means you have to count things up yourself. Add a single word to each so you don't have to do that. proc.5 Refer to sched_rr_get_interval(2) for info on sched_rr_timeslice_ms Since Linux 3.9, /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms can be used to change the SCHED_RR quantum. SEE ALSO: Add sysctl(8) Simplify the example of printing out environ The binutils package contains a very handy utility to print out null-byte delimited strings from a file. This can replace a rather complex expression with cat(1) provided as an example for printing out /proc/[pid]/environ. Update /proc/PID/maps example Update to 64-bit example that includes "[heap]", "[stack], and "[vdso]" Formatting fixes for /proc/PID/maps Document the "pathname" field of /proc/PID/maps Add reference to capabilities(7) for /proc/sys/kernel/cap_last_cap /proc/PID/maps: add a reference to mmap(2) ip.7 Document IP_MULTICAST_ALL This commit adds documentation for the IP_MULTICAST_ALL socket option. The option was added to the Linux kernel in 2.6.31: Author Nivedita Singhvi <niv@us.ibm.com> Commit f771bef98004d9d141b085d987a77d06669d4f4f The description is based on a previous one [3] posted by the original author of the code -- Nivedita, but it is slightly re-worded. I tested it myself and it works as described.

This ioctl() lives in drivers/char/random.c and the primitives can be found in include/linux/random.h One comment remains, there used to be an RNDGETPOOL ioctl() which disappeared in v2.6.9. I found two patches on the net: - http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.8.1/2.6.8.1-mm4/broken-out/dev-random-remove-rndgetpool-ioctl.patch - https://lkml.org/lkml/2004/3/25/168 But as far as I can tell the first one got applied but the 2nd one seems more correct. The result is that even today one can still find traces of the RNDGETPOOL ioctl() in the header files. Is this there for historical reasons or because it might break userspace, even though using it will just give an EINVAL. bootparam.7 Document 'rootfstype' option See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=182014 capabilities.7 Add various pieces under CAP_SYS_RAWIO Info obtained by grepping the kernel source.

The problem here is that a page that contains only part of a file (because the file size is not multiple of PAGE_SIZE) stays in page cache even after the mapping is unmapped and the file is closed.

Document this and include commit references. proc.5 statm's "shared" field refers to pages backed by files I noticed that statm's "shared" field doesn't match the sum of all the "shared" entries in smaps [1]. The kernel docs explain that statm's "shared" field is "number of pages that are shared (i.e. backed by a file)" [2]. smaps appears to call a page shared if it's mapped by at least two processes, which explains this discrepancy. I'm not a kernel hacker, but it appears to me they do mean "i.e." and not "e.g." in the statm description: In fs/proc/task_mmu.c::task_statm, I see *shared = get_mm_counter(mm, MM_FILEPAGES); Here's a patch which updates the man page to match the (hopefully correct) kernel docs.

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.

Any values above that limit are treated the same as -1, i.e. to wait indefinitely. The limit is given by: #define EP_MAX_MSTIMEO min(1000ULL * MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT / HZ, \ (LONG_MAX - 999ULL) / HZ) That is, the limit depends on the size of a long and the timer frequency. Assuming the a long is never smaller than 32 bits and HZ never larger than 1000, the worst case is 35 minutes. I think this should be mentioned under "BUGS". Although this is likely to be fixed in the future (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/8/144), the problem exists in at least 2.6.14 - 2.6.35. I don't know if select(2) and poll(2) are affected. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20762 Add pointer to select(2) for discussion of close in another thread getitimer.2 Note Linux's odd handling of the new_value==NULL case Fix types used to declare fields in timeval struct keyctl.2 Reorder SEE ALSO, without .br poll.2 Add pointer to select(2) for discussion of close in another thread select.2 Note behavior if monitored file descriptor is closed in another thread Executive summary: a sane application can't rely on any particular behavior if another thread closes a file descriptor being monitored by select().

It cannot. (One needs sigaction(2) for that.) syslog.3 Remove (apparently bogus) text claiming LOG_AUTH is deprecated LOG_AUTH is in POSIX, and widely available. There seems to be no basis to the claim it is deprecated. Quoting Simon: I cannot find any other source that claim LOG_AUTH is deprecated in any way. LOG_AUTH is distinct from LOG_AUTHPRIV. The GNU C Library manual only documents LOG_AUTH. The header files contains both without any comment. Common systems like Debian appear to refer to both auth and authpriv facilities in syslog configurations. Popular daemons appear to use both facilities. Both facilities are discussed in several RFCs.

One way to see the effect is ask the man(1) command to use browser display, e.g.: man -H man7/uri.7 ("\:" is optional groff syntax to permit hyphenless line breaks.) * Changes to individual pages ldd.1 Add security note on untrusted executables See also http://www.catonmat.net/blog/ldd-arbitrary-code-execution/ and http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html clone.2 Rewrite discussion of sys_clone futex.2 Consolidate error descriptions to ERRORS Various wording fix-ups Fix description of EINVAL error The current text seems incorrect. Replace with a more general description. getdents.2 select_tut.2 atof.3 atoi.3 pthread_create.3 pthread_sigmask.3 rtime.3 setbuf.3 tsearch.3 netlink.7 Remove unneeded casts get_robust_list.2 get_thread_area.2 getcpu.2 getdents.2 gettid.2 io_cancel.2 io_destroy.2 io_getevents.2 io_setup.2 io_submit.2 ioprio_set.2 kexec_load.2 llseek.2 modify_ldt.2 mq_getsetattr.2 pivot_root.2 readdir.2 rt_sigqueueinfo.2 set_thread_area.2 sgetmask.2 spu_create.2 spu_run.2 subpage_prot.2 sysctl.2 tkill.2 Add note to SYNOPSIS that there is no glibc wrapper for system call Reduce the chance that the reader may be misled into thinking that there is a wrapper function for this system call by noting explicitly in the SYNOPSIS that there is no glibc wrapper and pointing the reader to NOTES for further details. ioprio_set.2 Clarify the multithreaded behavior of ioprio_set(2) Document who==0 for IOPRIO_WHO_PROCESS and IOPRIO_WHO_PGRP For IOPRIO_WHO_PROCESS, who==0 means operate on the caller. For IOPRIO_WHO_PGRP, who==0 means operate on the caller's process group. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=652443 migrate_pages.2 Fix description of return value mount.2 For MS_REMOUNT, source is ignored mprotect.2 'addr' argument is not const As reported by Rasmus: Both my system's man-pages (3.22) and the latest online (3.41) show: int mprotect(const void *addr, size_t len, int prot); as the prototype for mprotect(2). However, POSIX [1] and the actual sys/mman.h (on all the systems I checked) do not have the const qualifier on the first argument. msgctl.2 semctl.2 shmctl.2 svipc.7 Don't mention that ipc_perm is defined in <sys/ipc.h> There's no need to mention that the 'ipc_perm' structure is defined in <sys/ipc.h>. That's an implementation detail, and furthermore <sys/ipc.h> is itself included by the other System V IPC header files. The current text might lead the reader to conclude that they must include <sys/ipc.h>, which is not the case (it is required neither on Linux, nor by the standards). msgctl.2 msgget.2 msgop.2 semctl.2 semget.2 semop.2 shmctl.2 shmget.2 NOTES: <sys/types.h> and <sys/ipc.h> aren't strictly needed Add text to NOTES to say that the <sys/types.h> and <sys/ipc.h> header files aren't required by Linux or the standards, but may be needed for portability to old systems. ptrace.2 Explain WNOHANG behavior and EINTR bug I didn't like ithe "SIGKILL operates similarly, with exceptions" phrase (if it's different, then it's not "similar", right?), and now I got around to changing it. Now it says simply: "SIGKILL does not generate signal-delivery-stop and therefore the tracer can't suppress it." Replaced "why WNOHANG is not reliable" example with a more realistic one (the one which actually inspired to add this information to man page in the first place): we got ESRCH - process is gone! - but waitpid(WNOHANG) can still confusingly return 0 "no processes to wait for". Replaced "This means that unneeded trailing arguments may be omitted" part with a much better recommendation to never do that and to supply zero arguments instead. (The part about "undocumentedness" of gcc behavior was bogus, btw - deleted). Expanded BUGS section with the explanation and an example of visible strace behavior on the buggy syscalls which exit with EINTR on ptrace attach. I hope this will lead to people submitting better bug reports to lkml about such syscalls. seteuid.2 Note glibc version where setegid() implementation changed In glibc 2.2/2.3, setegid() switched from setregid() to setresgid(). set_tid_address.2 Rename 'ctid' argument for consistency with clone(2) page Some rewordings and minor clarifications sigwaitinfo.2 Some wording clarifications Mainly rewording things like "is delivered" to "becomes pending", which is more accurate terminology. syscall.2 Add some more details to the description of syscall(2) And add another example of using syscall() to the program example. syscalls.2 Add kcmp(2) Move discussion of set_zone_reclaim(2) out of main table This system call was never visible to user space, so it makes sense to move it out of the main table of system calls into the notes below the table. getifaddrs.3 Note that ifa_addr and ifa_netmask can be NULL readdir.3 Handle -1 error from pathconf() in example code snippet Improve the example demonstrating allocation of a buffer for readdir_r() to handle -1 error return from pathconf(). Otherwise, naive readers may think that pathconf() return value can be used without checking. realpath.3 Use past tense with ancient history (libc4, libc5) regex.3 Correct SEE ALSO reference to glibc manual "regex" section rtime.3 Fix broken pointer cast in example code sem_close.3 sem_destroy.3 sem_getvalue.3 sem_init.3 sem_open.3 sem_post.3 sem_unlink.3 sem_wait.3 sem_overview.7 Note that "cc -pthread" is required; "-lrt" no longer works See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/manpages/+bug/874418 sigwait.3 Reword "is delivered" to "becomes pending" strcat.3 Add some text to emphasize the dangers of buffer overruns NOTES: Add discussion of strlcat() strcpy.3 Note that info is lost when strncpy() doesn't null terminate Add some text to emphasize possibility of buffer runs with strcpy() NOTES: Add a discussion of strlcpy() Inspired by https://lwn.net/Articles/506530/ Fix description of the null-byte padding performed by strncpy() tsearch.3 NOTES: remove redundant discussion of unorthodox use of term "postorder" This point is already covered at greater length in the main text of the page (See the piece "More commonly, ..."). Clarify use for first argument to the twalk() 'action' function There's a number of details in POSIX that are omitted in the current version of this page. Some wording fixes core.5 Note effect of madvise(2) MADV_DONTDUMP flag capabilities.7 Document CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND glob.7 Change 8 bit characters to 7 bit representation Fixes rendering errors for accented 'a' characters. Update bash(1) command used to obtain classical globbing behavior The man page formerly noted the bash(1) v1 command to do this. iso_8859-1.7 Explanation of SOFT HYPHEN and the code for it <groff: iso_8859-2.7>:89: warning: can't find special character `shc' This is the only "iso_8859-*.7" file that has this (now) undefined character. The code in column four in "iso_8859-1.7" is "0x2D" ("HYPHEN, MINUS SIGN" or "HYPHEN-MINUS") instead of "0xAD". See Debian bug 156154 (or package "manpages"). There should be an explanation for this graphic character and the code should be 0xAD in iso_8859-1.7 (as in all others), even though "[gn]roff" does not display a "HYPHEN" in that position of the table. The line with "SOFT HYPHEN" gets a footnote and a short explanation. mdoc.7 Fixing a warning and a table Fis warning from "groff -ww ..." (or "man --warnings=w ..."): <groff: mdoc.7>:294: warning: tab character in unquoted macro argument In one table the distance between columns is too small in the "ps" output. (Bug in the groff "doc.tmac" macro?) mdoc.samples.7 Fix warnings from [ng]roff, corrections From "man -ww ..."

".Bl" and ".El" fixed. Some arguments, that start with a period or are the name of a macro, protected with "\&". Variable name for macro ".Rv" corrected. netdevice.7 Line in table too long Fix warning from "man ..."

See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=383296 rtnetlink.7 Line in table too long Fix warning from "man ..." ("nroff -ww ..."): nroff: rtnetlink.7: warning: around line 415: table wider than line width Column gutter reduced to fit line length. Right adjustment in text blocks removed in tables. Some header made centered in tables. One table put on same page.

(POSIX uses 'byte(s)' similarly, to make this point.) icmp.7 ipv6.7 packet.7 raw.7 rtnetlink.7 unix.7 x25.7 Remove names of constants from NAME line Some of the sockets/network protocol pages included names of the corresponding address family constants in the NAME line, but this wasn't done consistently across all pages, and probably it adds little value in those pages that did do this. So, remove these constants from those pages that have them in the NAME section. * Changes to individual pages clock_getres.2 Expand description of CLOCK_REALTIME Make it clear that this clock may be discontinuous, and is affected my incremental NTP and clock-adjtime(2) adjustments. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=540872 epoll_wait.2 Clarify that 'timeout' is a *minimum* interval Make it clear that 'timeout' is a minimum interval; the actual interval will be rounded up to the system clock granularity, and may overrun because of kernel scheduling delays. execve.2 Rewording to deemphasize libc5 details fork.2 ERRORS: add ENOSYS Can occur on, for example, non-MMU hardware. getcpu.2 Add RETURN VALUE and ERRORS sections Refer reader to NOTES for more info about 'tcache' DESCRIPTION: reword a sentence to be clearer io_cancel.2 io_destroy.2 io_getevents.2 io_setup.2 io_submit.2 Rewrite to focus on system call API Rewrite to focus on the system call interface, adding some notes on the libaio wrapper differences.

Clarify discussion of wrapper function emulation Clarify that glibc (as well as old libc) provides emulation using select(2) on older kernels that don't have a poll() system call. Make the meaning of a zero timeout explicit Clarify that timeout==0 causes an immediate return, even if no file descriptors are ready. pread.2 BUGS: Note O_APPEND + pwrite() does the wrong thing See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43178 recvmmsg.2 Clarify that 'timeout' is a *minimum* interval Make it clear that 'timeout' interval will be rounded up to the system clock granularity, and may overrun because of kernel scheduling delays. select.2 Clarify that 'timeout' is a *minimum* interval Make it clear that 'timeout' is a minimum interval; the actual interval will be rounded up to the system clock granularity, and may overrun because of kernel scheduling delays. Expand description of the self-pipe trick Add further details on pselect6() system call that underlies pselect() semop.2 Clarify that 'timeout' of semtimedop() is a *minimum* interval Make it clear that 'timeout' interval will be rounded up to the system clock granularity, and may overrun because of kernel scheduling delays. signal.2 Note that 'sig_t' requires _BSD_SOURCE Also remove some old Linux libc details sigwaitinfo.2 Clarify that 'timeout' of sigtimedwait() is a *minimum* interval Make it clear that 'timeout' is a minimum interval; the actual interval will be rounded up to the system clock granularity, and may overrun because of kernel scheduling delays. stat.2 Formatting fixes From "groff -ww" (or "man --warnings=w ..."): warning: around line 442: table wider than line width GNU man uses line length of 78.

See http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13151 BUGS: fmemopen() incorrectly handles size==0 case If size is zero, fmemopen() fails, This is surprising behavior, and not specified in POSIX.1-2008.

(The text seems to date back to 1996.) Update architectures for tables of signal numbers utf-8.7 Two clarifications This patch clarifies that 0xc0 and 0xc1 are not valid in any UTF-8 encoding[0], and it also references RFC 3629 instead of RFC 2279. [0] In order to have 0xc0, you'd have to have a two-byte encoding with all the data bits zero in the first byte (and thus only six bits of data), which would be an ASCII character encoded in the non-shortest form. Similarly with 0xc1.

At the same time, make a few source file clean-ups. mkstemp.3 Add "mkstemps" and "mkostemps" to NAME line posix_openpt.3 Add some details on use of the slave pathname An explicit pointer to ptsname(3) is useful, as is a note of the fact that the slave device pathname exists only as long as the master device is held open. raise.3 Add some notes on underlying system call that is used rcmd.3 Add some details of the rresvport() 'port' argument resolver.3 Note that many options are documented in resolv.conf(5) scandir.3 Improve EXAMPLE source code: s/0/NULL/ in scandir() call strchr.3 Explain behavior when searching for '\0' strerror.3 Improve strerror_r() description POSIX requires that perror() not modify the static storage returned by strerror(). POSIX 2008 and C99 both require that strerror() never return NULL (a strerror() that always returns "" for all inputs is valid for C99, but not for POSIX). http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12204 documents glibc's change to come into compliance with POSIX regarding strerror_r() return value. The GNU strerror_r() use of 'buf' was confusing - I ended up writing a test program that proves that 'buf' is unused for valid 'errnum', but contains truncated "unknown message" for out-of-range 'errnum'.

SIOCSIFPFLAGS and SIOCGIFPFLAGS are linux-specific. Flag values come from Linux 2.6.25 kernel headers for sockios. The others are standard BSD ioctls that have always been implemented by Linux and were verified from inspecting netdevice.c kernel code. socket.7 Correct description of SO_BROADCAST tcp.7 lepton Correct description for TCP_MAXSEG on modern kernel - obsoletes upstreamed resolv.conf.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Apr 24 08:44:57 CEST 2012 - pgajdos@suse.cz - update to version 3.39 * New and rewritten pages malloc_trim.3 New man page for malloc_trim(3) malloc_usable_size.3 New man page for malloc_usable_size(3) * Newly documented interfaces in existing pages prctl.2 Document PR_SET_MM (new in Linux 3.3) Various edits and improvements to Cyrill's patch * Changes to individual pages epoll_create.2 Rework discussion of 'size' argument Add .SS for description of epoll_create1() epoll_wait.2 Another thread can add to epoll instance while epoll_wait is blocked See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43072 Clarify that epoll_pwait() blocks calling *thread* A few wording improvements fchmodat.2 Note difference between glibc wrapper and underlying system call The wrapper function has a 'flags' argument (which currently serves no purpose), while the underlying system call does not. fcntl.2 Explain behaviour of F_GETLEASE during lease break Change type of arg from "long" to "int" Various fcntl(2) commands require an integral 'arg'. The man page said it must be "long" in all such cases. However, for the cases covered by POSIX, there is an explicit requirement that these arguments be "int". Update the man page to reflect. Probably, all of the other "long" cases (not specified in POSIX) should be "int", and this patch makes them so. Based on a note fromEric Blake, relating to F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC. gettimeofday.2 Reorganize content The main change is to move the historical information about the 'tz_dsttime' to NOTES. Note that compiler issues warnings if 'tv' is NULL mmap.2 Clarify that this system call should not be invoked directly See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42892 Clarify NOTES discussion of mmap() versus mmap2() poll.2 Document negative value in 'fd' field Document semantics of passing zero in 'events' field ptrace.2 Various fixes For some reason, the PTRACE_TRACEME paragraph talks about some general aspects of ptraced process behavior. It repeats the "tracee stops on every signal" information even though that was already explained just a few paragraphs before. Then it describes legacy SIGTRAP on execve(). This patch deletes the first part, and moves the second part up, into the general ptrace description. It also adds "If PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC option is not in effect" to the description of the legacy SIGTRAP on execve(). The patch also amends the part which says "For requests other than PTRACE_KILL, the tracee must be stopped." - PTRACE_ATTACH also doesn't require that. sigaction.2 Clarify that the use of SI_SIGIO is for Linux 2.2 only See also http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6745 sigprocmask.2 ERRORS: add EFAULT times.2 ERRORS: Add EFAULT div.3 CONFORMING TO: Add C99 fread.3 Clarify further that return value is number of items, not bytes See also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=665780 getaddrinfo.3 Correct type of ai_addrlen field malloc.3 SEE ALSO: add malloc_usable_size(3) SEE ALSO: Add malloc_trim(3) mallopt.3 Fix text describing M_PERTURB and free() SEE ALSO: Add malloc_trim(3) memchr.3 Remove mention of terminating null in description of rawmemchr() perror.3 Note that use of 'sys_errlist' is deprecated rcmd.3 glibc eventually added a declaration of iruserok() in version 2.12 sysconf.3 Add mention of _SC_SYMLOOP_MAX nologin.5 nologin must not only exist, but *be readable* to be effective nsswitch.conf.5 Significant rewrites and improvements This patch applies to nsswitch.conf.5 in man-pages-3.36. My changes almost completely rewrite large sections of the man page. They are needed to add clarity, correct grammar, reduce confusion, and bring up-to-date with the latest glibc. I have checked the man page against the nss source code in glibc 2.14.90. Historical notes are demoted to the footer. The rewrite makes the man page much clearer to understand, more authoratitive, and easier to read.

Deleted several outright false statements: - pid 1 can be traced - tracer is not shown as parent in ps output - PTRACE_ATTACH is not "the same behavior as if tracee had done a PTRACE_TRACEME": PTRACE_ATTACH delivers a SIGSTOP. - SIGSTOP _can_ be injected. - Removed mentions of SunOS and Solaris as irrelevant. - Added a few more known bugs. Added a large block of text in DESCRIPTION which doesn't focus on mechanical description of each flag and operation, but rather tries to describe a bigger picture. The targeted audience is a person which is reasonably knowledgeable in Unix but did not spend years working with ptrace, and thus may be unaware of its quirks. This text went through several iterations of review by Oleg Nesterov and Tejun Heo. This block of text intentionally uses as little markup as possible, otherwise future modifications to it will be very hard to make. Global clean-up of page * Wording and formatting fixes to existing text and Denys Vlasenko's new text. * Various technical amendments and improvements to Denys Vlasenko's new text. * Added FIXME for various problems with the current text. Integrated changes after further review from Denys Vlasenko syscalls.2 Note that nfsservctl(2) was removed in Linux 3.1 Note that bdflush(2) is deprecated capabilities.7 Add CAP_WAKE_ALARM Add various operations under CAP_SYS_ADMIN Add perf_event_open(2) to CAP_SYS_ADMIN Add VM86_REQUEST_IRQ vm86(2) command to CAP_SYS_ADMIN Update CAP_NET_ADMIN with notes from include/linux/capability.h Add nfsservctl(2) to CAP_SYS_ADMIN Add ioctl(FIBMAP) under CAP_SYS_RAWIO Add virtual terminal ioctl()s under CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG Update CAP_NET_RAW with notes from include/linux/capability.h Add F_SETPIPE_SZ case to CAP_SYS_RESOURCE Add POSIX messages queues queues_max case to CAP_SYS_RESOURCE Update CAP_SYS_RESOURCE with notes from include/linux/capability.h SEE ALSO: Add libcap(3) ld.so.8 Add --adit command-line option ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Mar 5 08:37:01 CET 2012 - pgajdos@suse.cz - update to version 3.36 * New and rewritten pages sendmmsg.2 New page for sendmmsg(2) Some pieces inspired by an initial attempt by Stephan Mueller. * Newly documented interfaces in existing pages fallocate.2 Document FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE was added in Linux 2.6.38, for punching holes in the allocated space in a file. * Changes to individual pages dup.2 SYNOPSIS: Add "#include <fntl.h>" for O_* constants fallocate.2 Substantial restructuring of DESCRIPTION The addition of a second class of operation ("hole punching") to the man page made it clear that some significant restructuring is required. So I substantially reworked the page, including the preexisting material on the default "file allocation" operation. Add further details for FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE ERRORS: Add EPERM error case for FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE fork.2 NOTES: Describe clone() call equivalent to fork() fsync.2 Various improvements - explain the situation with disk caches better - remove the duplicate fdatasync() explanation in the NOTES section - remove an incorrect note about fsync() generally requiring two writes - remove an obsolete ext2 example note - fsync() works on any file descriptor (doesn't need to be writable); correct the EBADF error code explanation Note that some systems require a writable file descriptor An edited version of Guillem Jover's comments: [While the file descriptor does not need to be writable on Linux] that's not a safe portable assumption to make on POSIX in general as that behavior is not specified and as such is implementation-specific. Some Unix systems do actually fail on read-only file descriptors, for example [HP-UX and AIX]. mount.2 Removed erroneous statement about MS_RDONLY and bind mounts open.2 Fix grammar in O_DIRECT description Some small grammar fixes to the O_DIRECT description. pipe.2 SYNOPSIS: Add "#include <fntl.h>" for O_* constants See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659750 sched_rr_get_interval.2 Update notes on modifying quantum Since Linux 2.6.24, it is no longer possible to modify the SCHED_RR quantum using setpriority(2). (Slight edits to Clemens' patch by mtk.) Reordered various pieces of text Reworded text of ESRCH error send.2 Add mention of sendmmsg(2) sync.2 PROTOTYPE: Fix return type of syncfs() vfork.2 Clarify what is duplicated in the child Add some words to make it clear to the reader that vfork(), like fork(), creates duplicates of process attributes in the child.
