==================== Changes in man-pages-3.45 ====================
New and rewritten pages -----------------------
s390_runtime_instr.2 Jan Glauber New page for s390-specific s390_runtime_instr(2)
if_nameindex.3 YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Document if_nameindex(3) and if_freenameindex(3) Michael Kerrisk Edits, improvements and corrections to Hideaki's page Michael Kerrisk Add an example program
if_nametoindex.3 YOSHIFUJI Hideaki New page documenting if_nametoindex(3) and if_indextoname(3)
Changes to individual pages ---------------------------
clone.2 Michael Kerrisk Since 2.6.30, CLONE_NEWIPC also supports POSIX message queues
getrlimit.2 Michael Kerrisk [Trevor Woerner] Document Linux's nonstandard treatment or RLIMIT_CPU soft limit Upon encountering the RLIMIT_CPU soft limit when a SIGXCPU handler has been installed, Linux invokes the signal handler *and* raises the soft limit by one second. This behavior repeats until the limit is encountered. No other implementation that I tested (Solaris 10, FreeBSD 9.0, OpenBSD 5.0) does this, and it seems unlikely to be POSIX-conformant. The (Linux-specific) RLIMIT_RTTIME soft limit exhibits similar behavior.
recv.2 Michael Kerrisk [Eric Dumazet] UNIX domain sockets support MSG_TRUNC since 3.4
sendmmsg.2 Elie De Brauwer Add example program for sendmmsg()
stat.2 Simon Paillard Clarify description of EOVERFLOW error The EOVERFLOW error is not only for st_size, but also inode and block size fields. See glibc source file sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/xstatconv.c and kernel source file fs/stat.c. Also, fix bit/byte confusion See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604928
syslog.2 Michael Kerrisk Substantially reorganize discussion of commands Make the layout of the discussion of the commands more readable. Michael Kerrisk Add kernel symbolic 'type' names Michael Kerrisk Clarify SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_UNREAD semantics SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_UNREAD returns the number of bytes available for reading via SYSLOG_ACTION_READ. Michael Kerrisk Clarify where SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL places data it reads Michael Kerrisk Clarify semantics of SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR The SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR command (5) does not really clear the ring buffer; rather it affects the semantics of what is returned by commands 3 (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL) and 4 (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_CLEAR). Michael Kerrisk Clarify discussion of privileges for commands 3 and 10 Michael Kerrisk Add mention of CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT
wait.2 Michael Kerrisk BUGS: Document odd waitid() behavior when 'infop' is NULL
getifaddrs.3 Michael Kerrisk [Julien Cristau] Update description of ifa_data to Linux 2.6+ reality See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=526778
proc.5 Michael Kerrisk [Jim Paris] Correct description of SwapFree in /proc/meminfo Michael Kerrisk Note change of /proc/[pid]/limits file permissions in 2.6.36
ipv6.7 Gao Feng Add description of getsockopt() for IPV6_MTU In IPv4,IP_MTU is only supported by getsockopt. In IPv6, we can use IPV6_MTU to set socket's MTU, but the return value of getsockopt() is the path MTU.
rtnetlink.7 Michael Kerrisk [Julien Cristau] Update description of IFLA_STATS to Linux 2.6+ reality See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=526778
socket.7 Michael Kerrisk [YOSHIFUJI Hideaki] Document 'sockaddr' and 'sockaddr_storage' types Andi Kleen Explain effect of SO_SNDTIMEO for connect() When SO_SNDTIMEO is set before connect(), then connect() may return EWOULDBLOCK when the timeout fires.
