New and rewritten pages
-----------------------
-localedef.1
- Marko Myllynen [Richard Braakman, Alastair McKinstry, Lars Wirzenius]
- New page for localedef(1)
- Add new page based on Debian localedef(1) page.
+pthread_rwlockattr_setkind_np.3
+ Robert Schweikert [MMichael Kerrisk]
+ New page documenting pthread_rwlockattr_[sg]etkind_np(3)
+ Documents pthread_rwlockattr_setkind_np(3) and
+ pthread_rwlockattr_getkind_np(3).
New and changed links
---------------------
-procfs.5
- New link to proc.5
- Since the term "procfs" is widely used, it seems reasonable to have
- a link from that name to proc(5).
+pthread_rwlockattr_getkind_np.3
+ Robert Schweikert
+ New link to pthread_rwlockattr_setkind_np(3)
Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
-locale.1
- Marko Myllynen
- Provide a step-by-step example of how to use a custom locale
- Marko Myllynen
- Use LC_TELEPHONE instead of LC_MESSAGES in the example
- yesstr/nostr in LC_MESSAGES are planned to be changed at some
- point [1], so it's better to provide an example which won't
- be obsoleted by that change.

-
-adjtimex.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- Add featute test macro requirements
-
-clone.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- ERRORS: add cross-reference to fork(2) for explanation of EAGAIN

-fork.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- ERRORS: add pid_max and threads-max to EAGAIN
- And rewrite text to be the same as pthread_create(3).

-
-swapon.2
- Rasmus Villemoes
- Remove header from synopsis
- The <asm/page.h> header is not readily available, and the comment
- seems to indicate that it is for getting PAGE_SIZE. But it is
- never mentioned why one would need to know that, and it is in any
- case better obtained using sysconf(), provided by <unistd.h>.
-
-a64l.3
- Rasmus Villemoes
- Fix prototype for a64l()
- The argument is const, both according to POSIX and the
- glibc headers.

-
-makedev.3
- Rasmus Villemoes
- Fix prototype
- gnu_dev_makedev, and hence its trivial macro wrapper makedev, takes

- Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2014 17:02:09 +0200
-
- lang_term reflects ISO 639-2/T (terminology) codes, while
- lang_lib reflects ISO 639-2/B (bibliographic) codes.
- lang_term is preferred over lang_lib codes for locale names.
- There are 20 specific ISO 639-2/B codes.
- Marko Myllynen
- Correct the FILES section
-
-proc.5
- Michael Kerrisk
- 'pid_max' is a system-wide limit on number of threads and processes
- Since PIDs > /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max are not allocated, this
- file thus also imposes a system-wide limit on the number of
- threads and processes.
-
-capabilities.7
- Michael Kerrisk
- CAP_SYS_ADMIN allows overriding RLIMIT_NPROC
- Michael Kerrisk
- CAP_SYS_PTRACE allows process_vm_readv(2) and process_vm_writev(2)

- Remove crufty statement that Romanian may be switching to ISO 8859-16

-
-fanotify.7
- Heinrich Schuchardt
- Fix to example program: fanotifyi read() should use aligned buffer
-
-inotify.7
- Heinrich Schuchardt
- Add example program
- This example of the usage of the inotify API shows the
- usage of inotify_init1(2) and inotify_add_watch(2) as well
- as polling and reading from the inotify file descriptor.
- Heinrich Schuchardt
- munmap() does not generate inotify events
-
-locale.7
- Marko Myllynen [Michael Kerrisk]
- Document the LOCPATH environment variable
- Michael Kerrisk
- Add further details on various categories
-
+ pthread_mutex_lock() and pthread_cond_wait() are restartable
+ pthread_mutex_lock(, pthread_cond_wait(), and related APIs are
+ automatically restarted if interrupted by a signal handler.
+
+unix.7
+ Michael Kerrisk [Carlos O'Donell, David Miller, Tetsuo Handa]
+ Various additions and rewordings
+ Notable changes:
+ * Clarify some details for pathname sockets.
+ * Add some advice on portably coding with pathname sockets.
+ * Note the "buggy" behavior for pathname sockets when
+ the supplied pathname is 108 bytes (after a report by
+ Tetsuo Handa).
