==================== Changes in man-pages-3.68 ====================
Released: 2014-05-28, Munich
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.
Changes to individual pages ---------------------------
locale.1 Marko Myllynen Provide a step-by-step example of how to use a custom locale
fork.2 Michael Kerrisk ERRORS: add pid_max and threads-max to EAGAIN And rewrite text to be the same as pthread_create(3).
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)
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.
locale.7 Marko Myllynen [Michael Kerrisk] Document the LOCPATH environment variable
