In the URL:

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/signal.7.html

there is the following duplication typo at the end of the paragraph: "it was it was" (marked in capital letters, below)

...
Signal mask and pending signals
...
A signal may be blocked, which means that it will not be delivered until it is later unblocked. Between the time when it is generated and when it is delivered a signal is said to be pending. Each thread in a process has an independent signal mask, which indicates the set of signals that the thread is currently blocking. A thread can manipulate its signal mask using pthread_sigmask(3). In a traditional single-threaded application, sigprocmask(2) can be used to manipulate the signal mask. A child created via fork(2) inherits a copy of its parent's signal mask; the signal mask is preserved across execve(2). A signal may be process-directed or thread-directed. A process- directed signal is one that is targeted at (and thus pending for) the process as a whole. A signal may be process-directed because it was generated by the kernel for reasons other than a hardware exception, or because it was sent using kill(2) or sigqueue(3). A thread- directed signal is one that is targeted at a specific thread. A signal may be thread-directed because it was generated as a consequence of executing a specific machine-language instruction that triggered a hardware exception (e.g., SIGSEGV for an invalid memory access, or SIGFPE for a math error), or because IT WAS IT WAS targeted at a specific thread using interfaces such as tgkill(2) or pthread_kill(3).

Thanks for the great work.
