21798
Fix off-by-one error in a memory range
21800
Fix small bug in example program
21801
The description of the example program says that it makes the
21802
third page "read-only". Thus use PROT_READ instead of PROT_NONE.
21805
Folkert van Heusden
21806
Remove text describing O_CLOEXEC as Linux-specific
21807
O_CLOEXEC is specified in POSIX.1-2008, as noted
21808
elsewhere in the page.
21811
Michael Kerrisk [Dan Jacobson]
21812
SEE ALSO: Add readlink(1)
21816
Since 2.6.33, 'out_fd' can refer to any file type
21817
Linux kernel commit cc56f7de7f00d188c7c4da1e9861581853b9e92f
21818
meant sendfile(2) can work with any output file.

21821
Michael Kerrisk [Tolga Dalman]
21822
Remove mention of kernel version for 'in_fd' argument

between a pair of sockets.
21829
Michael Kerrisk [Tolga Dalman]
21830
Add a little info about ucontext_t
21833

21928
Fix header file and feature test macro requirements for crypt_r()
21932
Clean up description of error message source
21933
In the second paragraph of DESCRIPTION section, one of the
21934
sources of error messages is incorrect: the four functions obtain
21935
error message only from errno, and "a code" is just relevant
21936
with errc() and warnc(), which are not present on Linux.
21937
see http://www.unix.com/man-page/freebsd/3/ERR/ .
21939
Then, the third paragraph becomes a duplicate.
21944
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?614021
21948
Update ERRORS section
21949
EINVAL can occur for hdestroy_r().

EINVAL can't occur for hcreate().
21954
Michael Kerrisk [Mikel Ward]
21955
ERRORS: EBADF can also occur for nonwritable file descriptor
21956
As noted in the DESCRIPTION, the file descriptor must be writable
21957
in order to place a lock.
21961
Reorder prototypes in SYNOPSIS
21962
calloc() comes before realloc() in the other sections,
21963
so should do in SYNOPSIS, too.
21967
SEE ALSO: add reference to wcstombs(3)
21970
Michael Kerrisk [Sebastian Unger]
21971
Clarify that comparison interprets bytes as "unsigned char"
21974
Michael Kerrisk [Seonghun Lim]
21976
Since glibc 2.3, resolved_path can be non-NULL (with the
21977
semantics already documented in the page).
21981
Add ENOENT/ENOTDIR errors
21984
Michael Kerrisk [Luis Javier Merino]
21985

22023
including scroll-back buffer
22024
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1125792).

22096
Michael Kerrisk [Stephan Mueller]
22097
New page for rt_sigqueueinfo(2) and rt_tgsigqueueinfo(2)

This replaces the previous '.so' man page link file for
22099
rt_sigqueueinfo.2, which linked to this sigqueue() man page.
22103
New man page for cciss driver
22104
I obtained the information in this man page as a consequence
22105
of having worked on the cciss driver for the past several years,
22106
and having written considerable portions of it.
22112
New man page for the hpsa driver
22113
I obtained the information in this man page as a consequence
22114
of being the main author of the hpsa driver.
22119

Since Linux 2.6.39, unprivileged processes under the
22186
SCHED_IDLE policy can switch to another nonrealtime
22187
policy if their nice value falls within the range
22188
permitted by their RLIMIT_NICE limit.

prototype of this function.
22206
Michael Kerrisk [Jon Grant]
22207
Fix text mentioning terminating null
22211
Replace explicit mention of rt_tgsigqueueinfo() with SEE ALSO reference
22215
Move this page to section 3
22216
Now that the underlying system call rt_sigqueueinfo(2) is
22217
properly documented, move sigqueue() to Section 3, since
22218
it is really a library function.
22220
Update text in line with existence of new rt_sigqueueinfo.2 page
22224
Improve description of 'maxlen' argument
22225
It's worth clarifying 'maxlen' is in wide-char units, not bytes.
