[PATCH 1/1] futex.7: SEE ALSO

[PATCH 1/1] futex.7: SEE ALSO

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

futex.7 is meant as overview of the usage of futexes. It should
point to the related man-pages.

pthreads are the main usage of futexes, refer to pthread.7.
Implementation of robust futexes requires knowledge of set_robust_list.2
and get_robust_list.2.
It is noworthy that a closing thread can wake up a futex. Hence mention
clone.2 and set_tid_address.2.
