Subject: [PATCH v1 00/12] man/man{2,3}const/*: Update POSIX history of constants
Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2026 19:18:36 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1767599119.git.sethmcmail@pm.me> (raw)
Hello all,
I'm continuing to update the first POSIX and SUS appearances of various
system calls and functions, but I'm doubting that it's a good idea to
wait and send all patches in at once. So while I continue, I'll try
grouping related updates into patch sets and sending them through
semi-regularly.
To start, this patch set consists of updates for documented constants
in the 2const and 3const sections. I've provided a reference to the
relevant POSIX version for each patch, providing links where possible.
In general, each patch concerns a separate page. However, if two pages
share similar names and are referenced in the same section of POSIX
(such that the citation given for both are the same), then I batched
them together into the same patch.
Also perhaps noteworthy: if updating a page required only adding a POSIX
or SUS version, I usually added it in a new line and left any other
listed standards untouched. While if it required changing a line shared
with other standards, I typically reformatted it to list each standard
on a separate line (for nicer diffs with future changes).
