| New and rewritten pages |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| ioctl_fslabel.2 |
| Eric Sandeen |
| New page documenting filesystem get/set label ioctl(2) operations |
| |
| |
| Removed pages |
| ------------- |
| |
| ioctl_list.2 |
| Michael Kerrisk [Heinrich Schuchardt, Eugene Syromyatnikov] |
| This page was first added more than 20 years ago. Since |
| that time it has seen hardly any update, and is by now |
| very much out of date, as reported by Heinrich Schuchardt |
| and confirmed by Eugene Syromyatnikov. |
| |
| As Heinrich says: |
| |
| Man-pages like netdevices.7 or ioctl_fat.2 are what is |
| needed to help a user who does not want to read through the |
| kernel code. |
| |
| If ioctl_list.2 has not been reasonably maintained since |
| Linux 1.3.27 and hence is not a reliable source of |
| information, shouldn't it be dropped? |
| |
| My answer is, yes (but let's move a little info into ioctl(2)). |
| |
| |
| Newly documented interfaces in existing pages |
| --------------------------------------------- |
| |
| adjtimex.2 |
| Arnd Bergmann [Richard Cochran, Michael Kerrisk] |

| New link to adjtimex(2) |
| |
| |
| Global changes |
| -------------- |
| |
| Various pages |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| Retitle EXAMPLE section heading to EXAMPLES |
| EXAMPLES appears to be the wider majority usage across various |
| projects' manual pages, and is also what is used in the POSIX |
| manual pages. |
| |
| Various pages |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| Correct bogus POSIX.1 standards names |
| POSIX.1-2003 ==> POSIX.1-2001 TC1 |
| POSIX.1-2004 ==> POSIX.1-2001 TC2 |
| POSIX.1-2013 ==> POSIX.1-2008 TC1 |
| POSIX.1-2016 ==> POSIX.1-2008 TC2 |
| |
| Various pages |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| Add section number in page cross-reference. |
| |
| Various pages |
| Kir Kolyshkin |
| Add missing commas in SEE ALSO |
| |
| Various pages |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| Remove AVAILABILITY section heading |
| In the few pages where this heading (which is "nonstandard" within |
| man-pages) is used, it always immediately follows CONFORMING TO |
| and generally contains information related to standards. Remove |
| the section heading, thus incorporating AVAILABILITY into |
| CONFORMING TO. |
| |
| Various pages |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| Remove section number in page self-references |
| |
| Various pages |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| Put SEE ALSO entries in alphabetical order |
| |
| Various pages |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| Place SH sections in standard order |
| Fix various pages that deviated from the norm described in |
| man-pages(7). |
| |

| Michael Kerrisk [Andi Kleen, Jeff Moyer] |
| Change uses of aio_context_t to io_context_t |
| |
| |
| Changes to individual pages |
| --------------------------- |
| |
| bpf.2 |
| Peter Wu |
| Update enum bpf_map_type and enum bpf_prog_type |
| Richard Palethorpe |
| Change note on unprivileged access |
| The kernel now allows calls to bpf() without CAP_SYS_ADMIN |
| under some circumstances. |
| |
| clone.2 |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| Add kernel version numbers for clone_args fields |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| Combine separate NOTES sections |
| |
| close.2 |
| Michael Kerrisk [Lukas Czerner, Peter Schiffer, Thierry Lelegard] |
| Note behavior when close() happens in a parallel thread |
| If one thread is blocked in an I/O system call on a file descriptor |
| that is closed in another thread, then the blocking system call |
| does not return immediately, but rather when the I/O operation |
| completes. This surprises some people, but is longstanding |
| behavior. |
| |
| connect.2 |
| Stefan Puiu |
| Can return EACCES because of SELinux |
| |
| execve.2 |
| Michael Kerrisk [Eric Hopper] |
| Changes to the "dumpable" flag may change ownership of /proc/PID files |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| Improve/correct discussion of changes to dumpable flag during execve(2) |
| The details were not quite accurate. Defer to prctl(2) |
| for the more complete picture. |
| Nikola Forró |
| Clarify signal sent to the process on late failure |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| SEE ALSO: add capabilities(7) |
| |
| fanotify_init.2 |
| Amir Goldstein [Matthew Bobrowski] |

| It was inserted in the middle of the FAN_CLASS_ multi flags bit |
| and broke the multi flag documentation. |
| Michael Kerrisk [Alexander Morozov, Amir Goldstein, Jan Kara] |
| Remove mention of FAN_Q_OVERFLOW as an input value in 'mask' |
| See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198569. |
| Amir Goldstein [Jan Kara, Matthew Bobrowski] |
| Clarification about FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD and new events |
| Amir Goldstein [Jan Kara, Matthew Bobrowski] |
| Clarification about FAN_MARK_MOUNT and FAN_REPORT_FID |
| |
| getdents.2 |
| Petr Vorel [Michael Kerrisk] |
| Mention glibc support for getdents64() |
| Support was added in glibc 2.30. |
| Chris Lamb |
| Correct linux_dirent definition in example code |
| It is "unsigned long" earlier up in the file |
| |
| gettid.2 |
| Michael Kerrisk [Joseph C. Sible] |
| Document header file and feature test macro requirements for gettid() |
| |
| ioctl.2 |

| Yang Shi [Michal Hocko] |
| Returning positive value is a new error case |
| |
| mremap.2 |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| Remove mention of "Segmentation fault" in EFAULT text |
| "Segmentation fault" (SIGSEGV) is not exactly the same thing as |
| EFAULT. |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| Reorder some paragraphs in NOTES |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| Move a paragraph from DESCRIPTION to NOTES |
| |
| msgctl.2 |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| Correct description of 'msg_ctime' field |
| Verified by inspecting kernel source. |
| |
| nfsservctl.2 |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| SEE ALSO: add nfsd(7) |
| |
| open.2 |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| Some '*at' APIs have functionality that isn't in conventional APIs |
| Note that another reason to use the *at() APIs is to access |
| 'flags' functionality that is not available in the corresponding |
| conventional APIs. |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| Add a few more APIs to list in "Rationale for openat()..." |
| There have been a few more dirfd APIs added in recent times. |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| Explain ways in which a 'directory file descriptor' can be obtained |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| Add openat2() to list of APIs that take a 'dirfd' argument |

| Add license to example program |
| |
| prctl.2 |
| Dave Martin |
| Sort prctls into alphabetical order |
| Dave Martin |
| Clarify that prctl can apply to threads |
| The current synopsis for prctl(2) misleadingly claims that prctl |
| operates on a process. Rather, some (in fact, most) prctls operate |

| Heiko Carstens [Eugene Syromyatnikov, Michael Kerrisk] |

| backwards compatibility. |

| |
| dirfd.3 |
| Michael Kerrisk |
| SEE ALSO: add openat(2) |
| |
| dlsym.3 |
| Alexander Monakov |
| Extend discussion of NULL symbol values |
| Avoid implying that use of IFUNC is the only way to produce a |
| symbol with NULL value. Give more scenarios how a symbol may get |
| NULL value, but explain that in those scenarios dlsym() will fail |
| with Glibc's ld.so due to an implementation inconsistency. |
| |
| err.3 |

| Document the POSIX_SPAWN_SETSID attribute |
| |

| Add a more direct example |
| iproute2 allows you to specify the netns for either side of a veth |

| Michael Kerrisk [Jonny Grant] |
| Explain that core_pattern %e is process/thread 'comm' value |
