Upstream Release Monitoring
2012-02-27 11:29:46 UTC
Latest upstream release: 3.37 Current version in Fedora Rawhide: 3.35 URL: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/ Please consult the package updates policy before you issue an update to a stable branch: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy More information about the service that created this bug can be found at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upstream_release_monitoring
==================== Changes in man-pages-3.36 ====================
New and rewritten pages
-----------------------
sendmmsg.2
Michael Kerrisk [Stephan Mueller]
New page for sendmmsg(2)
Some pieces inspired by an initial attempt by Stephan Mueller.
Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
---------------------------------------------
fallocate.2
Lucian Adrian Grijincu
Document FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE
FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE was added in Linux 2.6.38,
for punching holes in the allocated space in a file.
Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
dup.2
Michael Kerrisk
SYNOPSIS: Add "#include <fntl.h>" for O_* constants
fallocate.2
Michael Kerrisk
Substantial restructuring of DESCRIPTION
The addition of a second class of operation ("hole punching")
to the man page made it clear that some significant restructuring
is required. So I substantially reworked the page, including the
preexisting material on the default "file allocation" operation.
Michael Kerrisk [Josef Bacik]
Add further details for FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE
Michael Kerrisk
ERRORS: Add EPERM error case for FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE
fork.2
Michael Kerrisk
NOTES: Describe clone() call equivalent to fork()
fsync.2
Christoph Hellwig
Various improvements
- explain the situation with disk caches better
- remove the duplicate fdatasync() explanation in the NOTES
section
- remove an incorrect note about fsync() generally requiring two
writes
- remove an obsolete ext2 example note
- fsync() works on any file descriptor (doesn't need to be
writable); correct the EBADF error code explanation
Michael Kerrisk [Guillem Jover]
Note that some systems require a writable file descriptor
An edited version of Guillem Jover's comments:
[While the file descriptor does not need to be writable on Linux]
that's not a safe portable assumption to make on POSIX in general
as that behavior is not specified and as such is
implementation-specific. Some Unix systems do actually fail on
read-only file descriptors, for example [HP-UX and AIX].
mount.2
Michael Kerrisk [Junjiro Okajima]
Removed erroneous statement about MS_RDONLY and bind mounts
open.2
Jessica McKellar
Fix grammar in O_DIRECT description
Some small grammar fixes to the O_DIRECT description.
pipe.2
Michael Kerrisk [Salvo Tomaselli]
SYNOPSIS: Add "#include <fntl.h>" for O_* constants
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659750
sched_rr_get_interval.2
Clemens Ladisch
Update notes on modifying quantum
Since Linux 2.6.24, it is no longer possible to
modify the SCHED_RR quantum using setpriority(2).
(Slight edits to Clemens' patch by mtk.)
Michael Kerrisk
Reordered various pieces of text
Michael Kerrisk
Reworded text of ESRCH error
send.2
Michael Kerrisk
Add mention of sendmmsg(2)
sync.2
Michael Kerrisk [Simone Piccardi]
PROTOTYPE: Fix return type of syncfs()
vfork.2
Michael Kerrisk [starlight]
Clarify what is duplicated in the child
Add some words to make it clear to the reader that vfork(),
like fork(), creates duplicates of process attributes
in the child.
Michael Kerrisk
Note clone() flags equivalent to vfork()
Michael Kerrisk [starlight, Mike Frysinger]
Add some notes on reasons why vfork() still exists
Michael Kerrisk [starlight]
Clarify that calling *thread* is suspended during vfork()
Michael Kerrisk
CONFORMING TO: Note that POSIX.1-2001 marked vfork() obsolete
gets.3
Michael Kerrisk
Document C11 and glibc 2.16 changes affecting gets()
pthread_sigmask.3
Michael Kerrisk [Pat Pannuto]
Fix comment that was inconsistent with code in example program
sem_wait.3
Walter Harms
EXAMPLE: Remove extraneous line of output from shell session
wcsnrtombs.3
wcsrtombs.3
wcstombs.3
Michael Kerrisk
Fix-ups for e9c23bc636426366d659809bc99cd84661e86464
core.5
Michael Kerrisk [Junjiro Okajima]
Document %E specifier for core_pattern
passwd.5
Michael Kerrisk [Walter Haidinger]
s/asterisk/asterisk (*)/ to improve clarity
Michael Kerrisk
Correct note on passwd field value when shadowing is enabled
When password shadowing is enabled, the password field
contains an 'x' (not "*').
proc.5
Elie De Brauwer
Fix description of fourth field of /proc/loadavg
SIgned-off-by: Elie De Brauwer
resolv.conf.5
Michael Kerrisk [Slaven Rezic]
Describe syntax used for comments
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=656994
feature_test_macros.7
Michael Kerrisk
Document _ISOC11_SOURCE
inotify.7
Michael Kerrisk [Yang Yang]
Note that 'cookie' field is set to zero when unused
man.7
Michael Kerrisk
Various fixes for description of NAME section
As noted by reporter:
* The code sample given for the NAME section is incomplete because
the actual content sample is not given.
* Additionally, the description assumes that the item described is
a command, which need not be the case.
* The command makewhatis is not present on my system; the
documented tool to create the whatis database is called mandb.
* The description on .SH NAME in man(7) should either copy the
relevant paragraph of lexgrog(1) or refer to it.
==================== Changes in man-pages-3.37 ====================
New and rewritten pages
-----------------------
getent.1
Mark R. Bannister
New page to document 'getent' binary provided by glibc
Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
bdflush.2
Michael Kerrisk
Note that bdflush() is deprecated, and does nothing
nfsservctl.2
Michael Kerrisk
Note that this system call was removed in Linux 3.1
ptrace.2
Denys Vlasenko [Oleg Nesterov, Tejun Heo]
add extended description of various ptrace quirks
Changes include:
s/parent/tracer/g, s/child/tracee/g - ptrace interface now
is sufficiently cleaned up to not treat tracing process
as parent.
Deleted several outright false statements:
- pid 1 can be traced
- tracer is not shown as parent in ps output
- PTRACE_ATTACH is not "the same behavior as if tracee had done
a PTRACE_TRACEME": PTRACE_ATTACH delivers a SIGSTOP.
- SIGSTOP _can_ be injected.
- Removed mentions of SunOS and Solaris as irrelevant.
- Added a few more known bugs.
Added a large block of text in DESCRIPTION which doesn't focus
on mechanical description of each flag and operation, but rather
tries to describe a bigger picture. The targeted audience is
a person which is reasonably knowledgeable in Unix but did not
spend years working with ptrace, and thus may be unaware of its
quirks. This text went through several iterations of review by
Oleg Nesterov and Tejun Heo.
This block of text intentionally uses as little markup as possible,
otherwise future modifications to it will be very hard to make.
Michael Kerrisk
Global clean-up of page
* Wording and formatting fixes to existing text and
Denys Vlasenko's new text.
* Various technical amendments and improvements to
Denys Vlasenko's new text.
* Added FIXME for various problems with the current text.
Michael Kerrisk
Integrated changes after further review from Denys Vlasenko
