Michael, thanks for your further improvements. I agree with most of them, some things didn't go so well though: Commit "stat.2: Tighten wording: use 'mode bit' rather than 'permission bit'" is bad: The stat man page distinguishes between the "file type component" and "file permissions component" of the mode; now this distinction is broken. Also, the second sentence now even makes less sense (not that it did make much sense before): "According to POSIX.1-2001, lstat() on a symbolic link need return valid information only in the st_size field and the file-type component of the st_mode field of the stat structure. POSIX.1-2008 tightens the specification, requiring lstat() to return valid information in all fields except the mode bits in st_mode." My guess wuold be that POSIX.1-2008 actually requires valid permission bits as well. Commit "mkdir.2: Fix a small error added by Andreas's patch" is also bad: The mkdir(2) man page was describing the general behavior under DESCRIPTION and the Linux behavior under NOTES; it should still do so but now it doesn't anymore.
