Gidday,
The Linux man-pages maintainer proudly announces:

different locations than usual (and some of these changes may become
permanent):
This release tarball is available for download at:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/download/man-pages-3.33.tar.gz
The online changelog is available at
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/changelog.html#release_3.33 (blogged at

) and the current version of the pages is browsable at
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/

err.3
Seonghun Lim
Clean up description of error message source
In the second paragraph of DESCRIPTION section, one of the
sources of error messages is incorrect: the four functions obtain
error message only from errno, and "a code" is just relevant
with errc() and warnc(), which are not present on Linux.
see http://www.unix.com/man-page/freebsd/3/ERR/ .
Then, the third paragraph becomes a duplicate.
