Cheers, Michael ==================== Changes in man-pages-3.41 ==================== New and rewritten pages ----------------------- get_robust_list.2 Ivana Varekova [Michael Kerrisk] New page documenting get_robust_list(2) and set_robust_list(2) mallinfo.3 Michael Kerrisk [KOSAKI Motohiro, Paul Pluzhnikov] New page for mallinfo(3) malloc_info.3 Michael Kerrisk [Jakub Jelinek] New page for malloc_info(3) malloc_stats.3 Michael Kerrisk [KOSAKI Motohiro] New man page for malloc_stats(3) Newly documented interfaces in existing pages --------------------------------------------- madvise.2 Jason Baron Document MADV_DONTDUMP and MADV_DODUMP Changes to individual pages --------------------------- clock_getres.2 Michael Kerrisk [Josh Triplett] Expand description of CLOCK_REALTIME Make it clear that this clock may be discontinuous, and is affected my incremental NTP and clock-adjtime(2) adjustments. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=540872 io_cancel.2 io_destroy.2 io_getevents.2 io_setup.2 io_submit.2 Michael Kerrisk Rewrite to focus on system call API Rewrite to focus on the system call interface, adding some notes on the libaio wrapper differences. See the following mail: 2012-05-07 "aio manuals", linux-man@vger.kernel.org http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.man/1935/focus=2910 open.2 Nick Piggin [KOSAKI Motohiro, Jan Kara, Hugh Dickins] Describe race of direct I/O and fork() Rework 04cd7f64, which didn't capture the details correctly. See the April/May 2012 linux-man@ mail thread "[PATCH] Describe race of direct read and fork for unaligned buffers" http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/77571 poll.2 Michael Kerrisk Clarify that 'timeout' is a *minimum* interval Make it clear that 'timeout' is a minimum interval; the actual interval will be rounded up to the system clock granularity, and may overrun because of kernel scheduling delays. Michael Kerrisk Clarify discussion of wrapper function emulation Clarify that glibc (as well as old libc) provides emulation using select(2) on older kernels that don't have a poll() system call. Michael Kerrisk Make the meaning of a zero timeout explicit Clarify that timeout==0 causes an immediate return, even if no file descriptors are ready. pread.2 Michael Kerrisk [Kasper Dupont] BUGS: Note O_APPEND + pwrite() does the wrong thing See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43178 select.2 Michael Kerrisk Clarify that 'timeout' is a *minimum* interval Make it clear that 'timeout' is a minimum interval; the actual interval will be rounded up to the system clock granularity, and may overrun because of kernel scheduling delays.
