70 Michael Kerrisk [Sergey V. Zubkov]
71 Clarify that flushing of input streams occurs only for seekable files
72 See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91931
73 Michael Kerrisk [Sergey V. Zubkov]
74 POSIX.1-2008 specifies the behavior when flushing input streams
75 POSIX.1-2001 did not have a specification for input streams,
76 but POSIX.1-2008 added one.
80 SEE ALSO: add getopt(1)
84 SEE ALSO: add getrandom(2)
88 SEE ALSO: add reset(1), setterm(1), tput(1)
92 Document behavior when TZ filespec omits the colon
93 If the TZ filespec omits the leading colon, glibc will parse
94 it for any valid format, i.e., it will still work.
96 Add description for posixrules file
98 Correct system timezone file path
100 There are only two TZ formats
101 tzset(3) currently states that there are three TZ formats. The
102 first two it lists are actually variations of the POSIX-style
103 TZ format, of which there are at least five variations.
105 This patch corrects this to match the POSIX specification of
106 TZ having only two formats.
108 Filespec omitted incorrect
109 Paragraph three of the DESCRIPTION section says
110 that when TZ is set, but empty, then UTC is used.
112 Later it says if the TZ filespec is omitted then the file
113 /usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime is used. This is incorrect,
114 it will use UTC in that case as well.
116 Fix incorrect TZ string representation
117 The TZ string representation indicates that the start/end
118 rules are required; this is incorrect.
120 Add ENVIRONMENT section + other rearrangements
121 FILES section was overly verbose and included
122 environment variables. Added ENVIRONMENT section,
123 removing ENV VARS from the FILES section.
127 SEE ALSO: add getrandom(2)
131 SEE ALSO: add chfn(1), chsh(1)
135 SEE ALSO: add setpriv(1)
139 Add getrandom(2) to list of restartable system calls
141 Add F_OFD_SETLKW to list of restartable operations
