Tarball download: http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/download.html Git repository: http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git Online changelog: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/changelog.html#release_3.48 A short summary of the release is blogged at: http://linux-man-pages.blogspot.de/2013/03/man-pages-348-is-released_12.html The current version of the pages is browsable at: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/ A few changes in this release that may be of interest to readers of this list are given below. Cheers, Michael ==================== Changes in man-pages-3.48 ==================== New and rewritten pages ----------------------- getunwind.2 Marcela Maslanova New page documenting getunwind(2) Taken from Red Hat downstream man pages set Michael Kerrisk Much rewriting Some text taken from arch/ia64/kernel/unwind.c. perfmonctl.2 Ivana Varekova New page documenting IA-64-specific perfmonctl(2) Taken from Red Hat downstream man pages Michael Kerrisk Rework discussion of PFM_CREATE_CONTEXT Add VERSIONS and CONFORMING TO Note that there is no glibc wrapper Remove PFM_CREATE_EVTSETS, PFM_DELETE_EVTSETS, PFM_GETINFO_EVTSETS These don't exist, and it appears they never have. Fix argument types for PFM_WRITE_PMCS, PFM_WRITE_PMDS, PFM_READ_PMDS The types that were being used don't exist! Briefly document PFM_GET_FEATURES, PFM_DEBUG, PFM_GET_PMC_RESET_VAL gai.conf.5 Ulrich Drepper New page documenting gai.conf Taken from Red Hat downstream pages nss.conf.5 Ulrich Drepper New page describing nss.conf Newly documented interfaces in existing pages --------------------------------------------- clock_getres.2 Cyril Hrubis Document CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE Cyril Hrubis Document CLOCK_BOOTTIME Michael Kerrisk Some improvements to CLOCK_BOOTTIME description ptrace.2 Denys Vlasenko Document PTRACE_GETREGSET, PTRACE_SETREGSET, PTRACE_SEIZE, and friends Document PTRACE_GETREGSET, PTRACE_SETREGSET, PTRACE_SEIZE, PTRACE_INTERRUPT, and PTRACE_LISTEN. Changes to individual pages --------------------------- access.2 Colin Walters Note that access() may also fail for FUSE Since in some cases (e.g. libguestfs's guestmount) it also has the semantics where files can appear owned by root, but are actually mutable by the user, despite what one might infer from the Unix permissions. mmap.2 Cyril Hrubis Add note about partial page in BUGS section This adds a note about Linux behavior with partial page at the end of the object. The problem here is that a page that contains only part of a file (because the file size is not multiple of PAGE_SIZE) stays in page cache even after the mapping is unmapped and the file is closed. So if some process dirties such page, other mappings will see the changes rather than zeroes. Michael Kerrisk [T?r?k Edwin] Some 'flags' values require a feature test macro to be defined Add text to NOTES noting that some MAP_* constants are defined only if a suitable feature test macro is defined. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=542601 Cyril Hrubis Document EOVERFLOW error prctl.2 Cyrill Gorcunov Add some details for PR_GET_TID_ADDRESS read.2 Michael Kerrisk [Zack Weinberg] Clarify interaction of count==0 and error checking POSIX deliberately leaves this case open, so the man page should be less specific about what happens. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533232 Michael Kerrisk [Marc Lehmann] Remove crufty text about O_NONBLOCK on files See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=700529 capabilities.7 Andrey Vagin Nonexistent bits are no longer shown as set in /proc/PID/status Cap* inotify.7 Michael Kerrisk A monitoring process can't easily distinguish events triggered by itself rtnetlink.7 Pavel Emelyanov Add info about ability to create links with given index Since kernel v3.7 the RTM_NEWLINK message now accepts nonzero values in ifi_index field. Mention this fact in the respective rtnetlink.7 section. socket.7 Pavel Emelyanov SO_BINDTODEVICE is now readable SO_BINDTODEVICE is readable since since kernel 3.8. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
