Hi,
Just out of curiosity, how does one submit manpages for specific
ioctls? There's a manpage for ioctl() itself, but I can't find
anything for things like, say, FIEMAP or FICLONE or FICLONERANGE.
I guess they'd be section 2, right?
Something like /usr/share/man/man2/ficlone.2.gz? Or a separate
ioctl-ficlone.2.gz, just in case there's ever a ficlone syscall?

Given that we're hoisting clone, clone-range, and (hopefully) dedupe into the VFS, it seems like a good time to document how they work. > > Something like /usr/share/man/man2/ficlone.2.gz?

Aha, out of date manpages git repo. :( So there are ioctl manpages after all! Ok, horrifying troff spaghetti will follow soon. --D > > Cheers, > > Michael > > > > -- > Michael Kerrisk > Linux man-pages maintainer; http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/ > Linux/UNIX System Programming Training: http://man7.org/training/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
