Tue Dec 27 23:29:32 UTC 2022 - Ferdinand Thiessen <rpm@fthiessen.de>
|
|
|
|
- Update to version 6.00
|
|
* Updated manual pages and interface documentation
|
|
* Move definitions of types to separate pages in man2type/ and
|
|
man3type/. 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.

|
|
O_DIRECTORY can also be used with, for example, O_PATH.
|
|
perf_event_open.2
|
|
Improve PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK documentation
|
|
Fix indentation of the MMAP layout section
|
|
The indentation of the MMAP layout section wasn't quite right.
|
|
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
|
|
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.

|
works.

|
|
Make it clear that these pages relate to System V IPC,
|
|
not POSIX IPC.
|
|
* Changes to individual pages
|
|
access.2
|
|
Clarify RETURN VALUE for F_OK
|
|
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=705293
|
|
alarm.2
|
|
Correct the description of behavior when 'seconds' is 0
|
|
clone.2
|
|
Add prototype for syscall to SYNOPSIS
|
|
And further clarify the distinction between the system call
|
|
and the wrapper function in the introductory text.
|
|
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.
|
|

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.

units.7
|
|
units should use an actual µ
|
|
The units(7) man page uses an ASCII u in place of the actual Greek
|
|
letter mu. Since we're in the twenty-first century, with
|
|
UTF-8-compatible terminals and terminal emulators, we should use
|
|
the actual letter µ instead of an ASCII approximation.

|
|
See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/202624/
|
|
From: Stas Sergeev <stsp <at> aknet.ru>
|
|
Subject: [patch][rfc] Larger IO bitmap
|
|
Date: 2004-05-07 19:55:03 GMT
|

|
|

|
|
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=643854
|
|
random.4
|
|
Document write and document the ioctl interface of /dev/random
|
|
The update consists out of two parts:
|
|
- a minor thing which just documents what happens if a write to
|
|
/dev/(u)random is performed, which is used in the example
|
|
script but not explicitly mentioned.
|
|
- the other (biggest) part is the documentation of the ioctl()
|
|
interface which /dev/(u)random exposes. 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.
|
|
Add CAP_SYS_RESOURCE /proc/PID/oom_score_adj case
|
|
netlink.7
|
|
Add a note about broadcast messages to multiple groups
|
|
socket.7
|
|
Define _GNU_SOURCE to obtain the definition of 'struct ucred'
|
|

|
|
Note that there is no glibc wrapper

|
These don't exist, and it appears they never have.

|
|

Global fix: remove unneeded double quotes in .SH headings
|
|
* Many pages
|
|
Global fix: remove unneeded double quotes in .SS headings
|
|
* Many pages
|
|
Global fix: use consistent capitalization in .SS headings
|
|
Capitalization in .SS sections across pages (and sometimes even
|
|
within a single page) is wildly inconsistent. Make it consistent.
|
|
Capitalize first word in heading, but otherwise use lower case,
|
|
except where English usage (e.g., proper nouns) or programming
|
|
language requirements (e.g., identifier names) dictate otherwise.
|
|
* Many pages
|
|
Remove double blank lines in output
|
|
* Various pages
|
|
Fix order of SH sections
|
|
* Changes to individual pages
|
|
accept.2
|
|
NAME: Add "accept4"
|
|
access.2
|
|
Note that access() may also fail for FUSE
|
|
Since in some cases (e.g. libguestfs's guestmount) it also has the
|
|
semantics where files can appear owned by root, but are actually
|
|
mutable by the user, despite what one might infer from the Unix
|
|
permissions.
|
|
getpeername.2
|
|
Clarify semantics of getpeername() for datagram sockets
|
|
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=674034
|
|
getuid.2
|
|
Remove duplicate section heading
|
|
mmap.2
|
|
Add note about partial page in BUGS section
|
|
This adds a note about Linux behavior with partial page at the end
|
|
of the object. 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. So if some process dirties such page, other mappings
|
|
will see the changes rather than zeroes.
|
|
Some 'flags' values require a feature test macro to be defined
|
|
Add text to NOTES noting that some MAP_* constants are
|
|
defined only if a suitable feature test macro is defined.
|
|
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=542601
|
|
Document EOVERFLOW error
|
|
open.2
|
|
Clarify list of file creation flags

|
POSIX.1-2008 TC1 clarified this, so that O_CLOEXEC,
|
|
O_DIRECTORY, and O_NOFOLLOW are also in this list.
|
|
prctl.2
|
|
Add some details for PR_GET_TID_ADDRESS
|
|
read.2
|
|
Clarify interaction of count==0 and error checking
|
|
POSIX deliberately leaves this case open, so the man
|
|
page should be less specific about what happens.
|
|
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533232
|
|
Remove crufty text about O_NONBLOCK on files
|
|

strtol.3
|
|
Remove crufty text from previous fix

|
|

|
|

|
posix_fallocate.3
|
|
SEE ALSO: add fallocate(1)
|
|
regex.3
|
|
Clarify details of matching
|
|
The first is that it's far from clear that the end points of the
|
|
complete string match are stored in the zero'th element of the
|
|
regmatch_t array; secondly, the phrase "next largest substring
|
|
match" is positively misleading, implying some sort of size

|
ordering, whereas in fact they are ordered according to their
|
|
appearance in the regex pattern.
|
|
scanf.3
|
|
Clarify meaning of "string conversions" for 'm' modifier

Update %a vs %m documentation

symlink(2) etc.
|
|
Whether inodes or disk blocks are required for each function
|
|
is something I based on received wisdom and BSD documentation,
|
|
rather than tracing the code to the kernel. For symlink(2)
|
|
this certainly depends on the file system type.
|
|
listxattr.2
|
|
Fix RETURN VALUE description
|
|
On success, 0 may be returned, so change wording from

|
|
Clarify suid_dumpable versus core_pattern

when suid_dumpable is set to 2. 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.

clone.2
|
|
Since 2.6.30, CLONE_NEWIPC also supports POSIX message queues
|
|
delete_module.2
|
|
Small rewording of description of effect of O_TRUNC
|
|
getrlimit.2
|
|
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.
|
|
Point reader at discussion of /proc/[pid]/limits in proc(5)
|
|
io_getevents.2
|
|
io_getevents() may cause segfault when called with invalid ctx_id
|
|
For reference see: http://marc.info/?l=linux-aio&m=130089887002435&w=2
|

|
|
sendmmsg.2
|
|
Add example program for sendmmsg()
|
|
stat.2
|
|
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
|
|
Update various references to "i386" to "x86"

|
|
Calls to sysctl() log warnings to the kernel log since 2.6.24
|
|
syslog.2
|
|
Substantially reorganize discussion of commands
|
|
Make the layout of the discussion of the commands
|
|
more readable.
|
|
Add kernel symbolic 'type' names
|
|
Clarify SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_UNREAD semantics
|
|
SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_UNREAD returns the number of bytes
|
|
available for reading via SYSLOG_ACTION_READ.
|
|
Clarify where SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL places data it reads
|
|
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).
|
|
Clarify discussion of privileges for commands 3 and 10
|
|
Add mention of CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT
|
|
wait.2

memcmp.3
|
|
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
|
|
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

Note that sign of result equals sign of difference between
|
|
first two bytes that differ (treated as "unsigned char")."
|
|
ttyname.3
|
|
Fix confused text in ERRORS
|
|
The existing text suggested that the ERRORS applied
|
|
only for ttyname_r(). However, 2 of the 3 errors
|
|
can occur for ttyname().
|
|
undocumented.3
|
|
Remove some now documented functions
|
|

|
ipv6.7
|
|
Add description of getsockopt() for IPV6_MTU
|
|
In IPv4,IP_MTU is only supported by getsockopt.
|
|
In IPv6, we can use IPV6_MTU to set socket's MTU,
|
|
but the return value of getsockopt() is the path MTU.
|
|
rtnetlink.7
|
|
Update description of IFLA_STATS to Linux 2.6+ reality
|
|
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=526778

socket.7
|
|
Document 'sockaddr' and 'sockaddr_storage' types

When SO_SNDTIMEO is set before connect(), then connect()
|
|
may return EWOULDBLOCK when the timeout fires.

|
|
* New and rewritten pages
|
|
delete_module.2
|
|
Rewrite to Linux 2.6+ reality
|
|
Change license and copyright
|
|
There is now nothing left of the original FSF-copyrighted
|
|
page. So, change the copyright and license.
|
|
Substantial reorganization after comments from Rusty Russell
|
|
Rusty notes that O_NONBLOCK is almost always used in
|
|
practice. Therefore, it would be better to reorganize
|
|
the page to consider that "the default".
|
|
init_module.2
|
|
Rewrite to Linux 2.6+ reality
|
|
Change copyright and license
|
|
Little of the original page now remains. Change
|
|
copyright and license
|

Pieces take from, or inspired by, a patch sent by Kees.
|
|
getauxval.3
|
|
Document getauxval() function added in glibc 2.16
|
|
* Global changes
|
|
* Various pages
|
|
Global fix: Use consistent capitalization in NAME section
|
|
The line(s) in the NAME section should only use capitals
|
|
where English usage dictates that. Otherwise, use
|
|
lowercase throughout.
|
|
* Various pages
|
|
Global fix: "userspace" ==> "user space" or "user-space"
|
|
Existing pages variously use "userspace or "user space".
|
|
But, "userspace" is not quite an English word.
|
|
So change "userspace" to "user space" or, when used
|
|
attributively, "user-space".
|
|

|
|
Mention Documentation/prctl/no_new_privs.txt for PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS
|
|
update seccomp sections for mode 2 (BPF)
|
|
This adds a short summary of the arguments used
|
|
for "mode 2" (BPF) seccomp.
|
|
Small improvements to PR_SET_SECCOMP discussion
|
|
Note type of 'arg3' for SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER.
|
|
Add pointer to Documentation/prctl/seccomp_filter.txt.

This adds a short description of the no_new_privs bit,
|
|
as described in Documentation/prctl/no_new_privs.txt.
|
|
ptrace.2
|
|
Clarify that some operations are not present on all architectures
|
|
PTRACE_GETREGS, PTRACE_SETGREFS, PTRACE_GETFPREGS,
|
|
and PTRACE_GETSPREGS are not present on all architectures.
|
|
PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP are present only
|
|
on x86.
|
|
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=122383
|
|
query_module.2
|

and Documentation/vm/hugetlbpage.txt.
|
|
Default for /proc/sys/fs/protected_{hardlinks,symlinks} is now 0
|
|
The default setting of 1 in/proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks
|
|
and /proc/sys/fs/protected_symlinks caused one too many
|
|
breakages for Linus's taste, so commit 561ec64ae67e changed
|
|
the default for both files to 0.
|
|
Note system call error yielded by /proc/sys/fs/protected_symlinks
|
|
Note that violating 'protected_symlinks' restrictions
|
|
causes system calls to fail with the error EACCES.

epoll_wait.2
|
|
Describe timeout limitation in kernels < 2.6.37
|
|
As reported by Fredrik (and as far as I can tell the problem
|
|
went back to 2.6.0):
|
|
The timeout argument has an upper limit. 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

|
|
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().
|
|
See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40852
|
|
Clarify equivalent pselect() code in terms of threads
|
|
s/sigprogmask/pthread_sigmask/
|
|
semop.2
|

shutdown.2
|
|
Document EINVAL error (and associated bug)
|
|
Eric Dumazet noted that EINVAL was not documented. Some further
|
|
digging shows that it's also not diagnosed consistently.
|
|

|
|
gnu_get_libc_version.3
|
|
Remove unneeded "#define _GNU_SOURCE" from SYNOPSIS
|
|
pthread_kill.3, pthread_sigqueue.3
|
|
Remove wording "another"
|
|
Writing "another thread" in these pages implies that these
|
|
functions can't be used to send a signal to the calling thread
|
|
itself, which is of course untrue.
|
|
sigvec.3
|
|
Add "int" arg to sv_handler definition in sigvec structure
|
|
Fix small error in discussion of blocking of signals
|
|
The signal that causes the handler to be invoked is blocked,
|
|
but saying "by default" implies that this can be changed via
|
|
the API. 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.

|
libraries, but it's worth repeating under the specific discussion
|
|
of LD_LIBRARY_PATH further down the page.
|
|
Add some details for LD_PRELOAD

Mon Aug 27 09:10:27 CEST 2012 - pgajdos@suse.cz
|
|
|
|
- update to version 3.42
|
|
* Global changes
|
|
* Various pages
|
|
Global fix: use UR macro where applicable
|
|
The syntax .UR http://example.com paired with .UE will create
|
|
links which one can interact, if the pager allows that. 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

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 ..." (groff -ww ...):
|
|
<standard input>:541: warning:
|
|
tab character in unquoted macro argument
|
|
[+3 similar warnings]
|
|
<standard input>:813: warning: macro `Pu' not defined
|
|
Usage: .Rv -std in sections 2 and 3 only (#1669)
|
|
mdoc warning: A .Bl directive has no matching .El (#1821)
|
|
String "Pu" defined as a row of punctuation characters.
|
|
".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 ..." ("nroff -ww ..."):
|
|
nroff: netdevice.7: warning: around line 98:
|
|
table wider than line width
|
|
Fix: No right adjustment in text blocks in tables.
|
|
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=673873
|
|
netlink.7
|
|
Line in table is too long
|
|
Fix warning from "man ..." ("nroff -ww ..."):
|
|
nroff: netlink.7: warning: around line 195:
|
|
table wider than line width
|
|
Horizontal line incorporated into table.
|
|
No right adjustment of text blocks in tables.
|
|
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=673875
|
|
Change description of "*_pid" fields to "Port ID"
|
|
As reported by Herbert Xu, these should not be considered as PIDs.
|
|
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.

|
Document SO_MARK socket option
|
|
Commit 4a19ec5800fc3bb64e2d87c4d9fdd9e636086fe0 in Jan 2008 added

SYNOPSIS: Remove include of <sys/types.h> and <sys/ipc.h>

|
|
have links for the names.
|
|
DES_FAILED.3
|
|
New link to des_crypt.3
|
|
The des_crypt(3) page documents this macro, so it makes sense

Clarify that these functions operate on bytes, not (wide) characters
|
|
Change 'character(s)' to 'byte(s)' to make clear that these
|
|
functions operate on bytes, not wide / UTF8 characters.
|
|
(POSIX uses 'byte(s)' similarly, to make this point.)

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
|

|
poll.2
|
|
Clarify that 'timeout' is a *minimum* interval

Make the meaning of a zero timeout explicit
|
|
Clarify that timeout==0 causes an immediate return, even if
|
|
no file descriptors are ready.

|
stat.2
|
|
Formatting fixes
|
|
From "groff -ww" (or "man --warnings=w ..."):
|
|
warning: around line 442: table wider than line width

|
|
each sentence in a new line.
|

dbopen.3
|
|
SYNOPSIS: Add header file <fcntl.h>
|
|
Upstreamed from Debian, and consistent with FreeBSD
|
|
dbopen(3) man page.
|
|
fmemopen.3
|
|
Note details of POSIX.1-2008 specification of 'b' in 'mode'
|
|
BUGS: fmemopen() doesn't correctly set file position in some cases
|
|
If 'mode' is append, but 'size' does not cover a null byte
|
|
in 'buf', then fmemopen() incorrectly sets the initial file
|
|
position to -1, rather than the next byte after the end of
|
|
the buffer.
|
|
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.
|
|
See http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11216
|
|
Reported-by; Alex Shinn <alexshinn@gmail.com>
|
|
BUGS: Note silent ABI change for fmemopen() in glibc 2.9
|
|
BUGS: Append mode does not force writes to append
|
|
Append mode correctly sets the initial offset but does
|
|
not force subsequent writes to append at end of stream.
|
|
See http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13152
|
|
BUGS: Note inconsistent treatment of 'b' in 'mode'
|
|
fopen() permits, for example, both "w+b" and "wb+",
|
|
but only the latter is meaningful to fmemopen().
|
|
See http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12836
|
|
fopencookie.3
|
|
Correct description of return for user-supplied 'write' function

|
|
interpreted as C style strings. Also, note possible
|
|
alignment requirements for the referenced bytes sequences,

ascii.7
|
|
Indent for "troff" makes table too wide
|
|
Fix following from "groff -t -ww ...":
|
|
warning: around line 53: table wider than line width

Extra indent for "troff" makes the table look misplaced
|
|
(default "ps" output).

Columns are made narrower (column gutter decreased).
|
|
ipv6.7
|
|
Add ENODEV error for bind() to link-local IPv6 address
|
|
signal.7
|
|
Clarify that SIGLOST is unused
|
|
Comment out crufty BUGS text on SIGLOST
|
|
It must be a very long time since the statement there
|
|
about SIGLOST was true. (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.
|
|
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=538641
|
|
ldconfig.8

|
nscd.8

getpwnam.3
|
|
Fix discussion of _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX

|
mtrace.3
|
|
SEE ALSO: add mcheck(3)
|
|
memchr.3
|
|
Clarify description, omitting mention of "strings" and "characters"
|
|
The existing text slipped into talking about characters and
|
|
strings, which could mislead readers into thing that, for
|
|
example, searches for the byte '\0' are treated specially.
|
|
Therefore, rewrite in terms of "bytes" and "memory areas".
|
|
At the same time, make a few source file clean-ups.
|
|
mkstemp.3
|
|
Add "mkstemps" and "mkostemps" to NAME line
|
|
posix_openpt.3
|
|

|
|
long as the master device is held open.
|
|
raise.3
|
|
Add some notes on underlying system call that is used
|
|
rcmd.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'.
|
|
See also http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=382
|
|
Correct description of error return for XSI strerror_r()
|
|

|
|
Add an example of the kind of string returned by strerror()
|
|
resolv.conf.5
|
|
Document "single-request" option
|
|
inotify.7
|
|
Note buffer size that guarantees being able to read at least one event
|
|
Correct description of size of inotify_event structure
|
|
iso_8859-1.7
|
|
Add "-" for SOFT HYPHEN
|
|
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=156154
|
|
netdevice.7
|
|
Document some SIOC configuration ioctls
|
|
This patch adds common but missing SIOC configuration ioctls to
|
|
the netdevice.7 manual pages that are not documented anywhere
|
|
else. 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

|
|
* New and rewritten pages

|
|
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
|
|

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.

|
|
ptrace.2
|
|
add extended description of various ptrace quirks
|
|
Changes include:
|
|
s/parent/tracer/g, s/child/tracee/g - ptrace interface now
|
|
is sufficiently cleaned up to not treat tracing process
|
|
as parent.
|
|
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

|

|
|
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
|

|
|
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.)

|
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.
|
|
Note clone() flags equivalent to vfork()
|
|
Add some notes on reasons why vfork() still exists
|
|
Clarify that calling *thread* is suspended during vfork()

|
CONFORMING TO: Note that POSIX.1-2001 marked vfork() obsolete

|
|
Various fixes for description of NAME section
|
|
As noted by reporter:
|
|
* The code sample given for the NAME section is incomplete because
|
|
the actual content sample is not given.
|
|
* Additionally, the description assumes that the item described is
|
|
a command, which need not be the case.
|
|
* The command makewhatis is not present on my system; the
|
|
documented tool to create the whatis database is called mandb.
|
|
* The description on .SH NAME in man(7) should either copy the
|
|
relevant paragraph of lexgrog(1) or refer to it.

policy if their nice value falls within the range
|
|
permitted by their RLIMIT_NICE limit.

Now that the underlying system call rt_sigqueueinfo(2) is

it is really a library function.
|
|
Update text in line with existence of new rt_sigqueueinfo.2 page
