This release is now available for download at: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages or ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages Changes in this release that may be of interest to readers of this list are noted below. Cheers, Michael (man-pages maintenance is supported by Google, as a Google engineer 20% project.) ==================== Changes in man-pages-2.64 ==================== Global changes -------------- Many pages mtk Added/updated feature test macro requirements for glibc; see feature_test_macros.7 for details. Changes to individual pages --------------------------- setpgid.2 mtk Fairly substantial changes and corrections, including adding coverage of all of the interfaces that get/set PGIDs. syscalls.2 mtk / aeb Varous rewordings; clear up some imprecisions. strerror.3 mtk Note that the XPG version is provided since glibc 2.3.4. The page formerly said that the GNU-specific version is provided by default. That certainly isn't true nowadays, since _POSIX_C_SOURCE is set to 200112L by default, so that the XSI-compliant version is supplied by default. man-pages.7 mtk Added note pointing to feature_test_macros.7 for a description of how feature test macro requirements should be specified in manual pages. Various other minor fixes and changes. feature_test_macros.7 mtk Added note about how feature test macros are specified in manual pages. Many other corrections, improvements, additions, and details about differences across glibc versions. -- Michael Kerrisk maintainer of Linux man pages Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 Want to help with man page maintenance?
