See patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/8/10/221. pread.2 Michael Kerrisk Add notes on pread64() and pwrite64() See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23072 Michael Kerrisk SEE ALSO: add readv(3) readv.2 Michael Kerrisk Wording fix: readv() and writev() are system calls, not functions sendfile.2 Michael Kerrisk Add notes on sendfile64() setfsgid.2 Michael Kerrisk Add NOTES explaining 32-bit system calls added in Linux 2.4 setfsuid.2 Michael Kerrisk Add NOTES explaining 32-bit system calls added in Linux 2.4 setgid.2 Michael Kerrisk Add NOTES explaining 32-bit system calls added in Linux 2.4 setresuid.2 Michael Kerrisk Add NOTES explaining 32-bit system calls added in Linux 2.4 setreuid.2 Michael Kerrisk Add NOTES explaining 32-bit system calls added in Linux 2.4 setuid.2 Michael Kerrisk Add NOTES explaining 32-bit system calls added in Linux 2.4 sigqueue.2 pthreads.7 signal.7 Michael Kerrisk SEE ALSO: Add pthread_sigqueue(3) stat.2 Michael Kerrisk Fix EOVERFLOW error description 2<<31 should read 1<<31 (which equals 2^31). statfs.2 Michael Kerrisk Add notes on statfs64() and fstatfs64() swapon.2 Hugh Dickins Document SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD and discarding of swap pages truncate.2 Michael Kerrisk Add notes on truncate64() and ftruncate64() memcpy.3 Michael Kerrisk Change "should not overlap" to "must not overlap" glibc 2.12 changed things so that applications that use memcpy() on overlapping regions will encounter problems. (The standards have long said that the behavious is undefined if the memory areas overlap.)
