Subject: man-pages-2.57 is released
Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2007 14:31:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4673D832.8060009@gmx.net> (raw)

Gidday,

I just released man-pages-2.57.

This release is now available for download at:

    http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages
    or ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages

and soon at:

    ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux-local/manpages

Various things remain to be fixed in man-pages.  A few of the outstanding
FIXME points from section 2 are listed below.  Any assistance with these
points would be most welcome.

Cheers,

Michael

==========
./man2/ioperm.2
     FIXME is the following ("Only the first 0x3ff I/O ports can be
     specified in this manner") still true?  Looking at changes in
     include/asm-i386/processor.h between 2.4 and 2.6 suggests
     that the limit is different in 2.6.

==========
./man2/mprotect.2
     FIXME
     Document PROT_GROWSUP and PROT_GROWSDOWN

==========
./man2/nfsservctl.2
     FIXME The description of nfsservctl() on this page
     is woefully thin.

==========
./man2/shmop.2
     FIXME A good explanation of the rationale for the existence
     of SHMLBA would be useful here
