But I think it would > be better to keep it separate and just add a pointer to proc.5 Yes, I paused for a moment over this. However, I don't want to make separate man pages for every sizable /proc entry. Or at least I don't want to do that at this time, nor to make an exception in this one case. (There would be a number of candidates for getting split out of proc(5), and I don't want to just do one of them; there needs to be a consistent approach, which I haven't yet worked out.) Having said that, I was wondering about the idea of having a numa(7) page, which gave a brief overview of NUMA, and included the details of numa_maps (and then just have a cross-ref in proc(5)). Would anyone be willing to write a *short* numa(7)? -- Michael Kerrisk Linux man-pages maintainer; http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/ man-pages online: http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online_pages.html Found a bug? http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/reporting_bugs.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-numa" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
