Cheers, Michael =================== Changes in man-pages-3.19 =================== Released: 2009-02-20, Putaruru Contributors ------------ The following people contributed notes, ideas, or patches that have been incorporated in changes in this release: Christian Siebert <christian.siebert@xxxxxxxxx> Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@xxxxxxxxxx> Jens Thoms Toerring <jt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Kir Kolyshkin <kir@xxxxxxxxxx> Mark Hills <mark@xxxxxxxxxxx> Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@xxxxxxxxx> Parag Warudkar <parag.lkml@xxxxxxxxx> Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx> Sami Liedes <sliedes@xxxxxxxxx> Apologies if I missed anyone! New and rewritten pages ----------------------- timer_create.2 Michael Kerrisk New page documenting timer_create(2) timer_delete.2 Michael Kerrisk New page documenting timer_delete(2) timer_getoverrun.2 Michael Kerrisk New page documenting timer_getoverrun(2) timer_settime.2 Michael Kerrisk New page documenting timer_settime(2) and timer_gettime(2) New and changed links --------------------- timer_gettime.2 Michael Kerrisk New link to new timer_settime.2 Global changes -------------- Various pages Kir Kolyshkin Trivial punctuation fixes in SEE ALSO In SEE ALSO, when a few man pages are referenced, those are divided by commas. Every reference is on a separate line, and all lines but the last one should end with comma. I spotted one place where there is no comma in between references, and mocked up an awk script to find similar places: for f in man*/*; do awk ' /^.SH ["]SEE ALSO["]/ { sa=1; print "== " FILENAME " =="; print; next } /^\.(PP|SH)/ { sa=0; no=0; next } /^\.BR/ { if (sa==1) { print; if (no == 1) print "Missing comma in " FILENAME " +" FNR-1; no=0 } } /^\.BR .*)$/ { if (sa==1) no=1; next } /\.\\"/ {next} /.*/ { if (sa==1) { print; next } } ' $f; done | fgrep 'Missing comma' This patch fixes all the places found by the above script. Also, there is an extra dot at the end of uri.7 "SEE ALSO" section. Removed as per man-pages(7) recommendation. Changes to individual pages --------------------------- getitimer.2, clock_getcpuclockid.3, time.7 Michael Kerrisk SEE ALSO: add timer_create(2) getitimer.2 Michael Kerrisk Rename arguments for consistency with other timer pages Also some other minor wording improvements splice.2 Mark Hills ERRORS: Add EINVAL case for file opened O_APPEND Target file cannot be opened in append (O_APPEND) mode In kernels prior to v2.6.27 splice() to a file in append mode is broken, and since that version it is disallowed. It is possible this behaviour may change in the future; see the kernel commit message (efc968d450e013049a662d22727cf132618dcb2f) for more information. syscalls.2 Michael Kerrisk Note that getpmsg(2) and putmsg(2) are unimplemented See See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514771 timerfd_create.2 Michael Kerrisk ERRORS: add EFAULT timerfd_create.2 Michael Kerrisk Rename timerfd_settime() 'curr_value' arg to 'old_value' For consistency with related pages. vm86.2 Parag Warudkar CONFORMING TO: Add 32-bit specific Note that this call is only on *32-bit* Intel mq_open.3 Michael Kerrisk ERRORS: add ENOENT error for name == "/" mq_open.3 Michael Kerrisk ERRORS: Add EACCES error for name containing > 1 slash sem_open.3 Michael Kerrisk ERRORS: add EINVAL error where name == "/" sem_open.3 Jens Thoms Toerring Add case of non-well-formed name to ENOENT shm_open.3 Michael Kerrisk Clarify rules for construction of shared memory object names proc.5 Michael Kerrisk Add description of /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq Reported by: Goerghe Cosorea <gheorghe.coserea@xxxxxxxxx> proc.5 Michael Kerrisk Put /proc/modules entry in correct alphabetical order ascii.7 Kir Kolyshkin Fix formatting of tables on second page to use monospaced font mq_overview.7 Michael Kerrisk Clarify construction rules for message queue object names sem_overview.7 Michael Kerrisk Clarify construction rules for semaphore object names See also http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.development.apps/browse_thread/thread/b4a67caa765cb65f -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
