[PATCH v4 00/35] SYNOPSIS: Use syscall(SYS_...); and fix '#include's

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello Michael,

I cleaned up the includes (add missing ones, remove unneeded ones,
...), explained why each of them is needed (except for the one
providing the prototype), a few ffixes, and changed prototypes to
use syscall() when there's no wrapper.

I thought of adding a new section 'LIBRARY', as in FreeBSD's
manual pages, instead of assuming glibc, and having non-standard
clarifications in NOTES for non-glibc functions; but that would be
for a future patch-set after this one.

I highly doubt that I can finish this before 5.12, so maybe you
prefer to start a new branch to not release 5.12 with a mix of
styles...; up to you :-)

I didn't separate the syscall() changes from the #include changes,
because in most cases one implies the other, so I considered this
as a SYNOPSIS general improvement.

Cheers,

Alex
