[PATCH v1 00/11] man/man3type/*: Update simple history of types

[PATCH v1 00/11] man/man3type/*: Update simple history of types

[Seth McDonald]

Hi,

This patch set updates the history of types that have only one standard
listed in their HISTORY section, meaning they should have no ordering
issues.

Seth McDonald (11):
  man/man3type/itimerspec.3type: HISTORY: Update first POSIX appearance
    of itimerspec(3type)
  man/man3type/mode_t.3type: HISTORY: Update first POSIX appearance of
    mode_t(3type)
  man/man3type/off_t.3type: Change VERSIONS to HISTORY
  man/man3type/off_t.3type: HISTORY: Update first POSIX appearance of
    off_t(3type)
  man/man3type/sigevent.3type: HISTORY: Update first POSIX appearance of
    sig{event,val}(3type)
  man/man3type/stat.3type: SYNOPSIS: wfix
  man/man3type/stat.3type: HISTORY: Update first POSIX appearance of
    stat(3type)
  man/man3type/stat.3type: HISTORY: Specify first POSIX appearance of
    st_{rdev,blksize,blocks}
  man/man3type/stat.3type: HISTORY: Specify initial datatypes of
    st_{blksize,blocks}
  man/man3type/timer_t.3type: HISTORY: Update first POSIX appearance of
    timer_t(3type)
  man/man3type/timespec.3type: HISTORY: Update first POSIX appearance of
    timespec(3type)

That would certainly work.  I initially thought about doing that, but
decided against it since I hadn't at the time seen any other pages that
list individual structure members in their history section.  But if
you're on board with it, then I'll send in a v2 with this fixup.

Btw, I'll want to add in some '.TQ's between the listed members, as
without it the formatting looks a little funny.

	$ MANWIDTH=64 man ./man3type/stat.3type | sed -n '/^HISTORY$/,+5p'
	HISTORY
	       stat   POSIX.1-1988.

	       .st_rdev
	              .st_blksize .st_blocks SUSv1, POSIX.1-2001 XSI.

I'll also send in the next set of man3type patches with chronological
ordering, at least as far as I can tell. :)

Apart from the TQs, I forgot to use one line for each.

You're right that I can't find any existing pages documenting individual
field members in STANDARDS or HISTORY, but I think it's fine and
desirable.

Sure; I forgot about them.  :-)

You may be interested in diffman-git(1).  I think it would help
reviewing your diffs.  Here's some example of how it works:

Considering the following diff:

	$ git diff
	diff --git i/man/man3type/stat.3type w/man/man3type/stat.3type
	index 44d45b4a5..1a99d1d0a 100644

	 .P

You can check the exact changes to the manual page:

For more documentation, see diffman-git(1), of course.  :)
It's provided in the repository, in case your distro doesn't provide it
yet.  You can install it with the usual

	$ make -R -j4 && sudo make -R -j4 install;

Or just run it from the repo, since it's a bash(1) script.  It's here:

	$ find * | grep diffman-git

That does look quite useful!  I've seen it used before in the mailing
list, but couldn't initially find its documentation.  Which I now
realise is because I was looking for its man page in my installed man
pages, rather than in the repository *for this documentation* (ironic,
I know).

My distro (Debian 13) indeed doesn't seem to provide it yet, so I've
installed it successfully via the repo.  I'm glad it's a bash script,
as I'd be a little more hesitant to install a binary executable.

Currently neither; I generally just use the Proton Mail Linux app.
Mainly because it's a familiar interface from before I switched to Linux
in mid-2025.  However, I have been really getting into TUIs recently.
So if you recommend either, then I'd be enthusiastic to give it a try.

Yup, I wrote that script very recently.  Distros have not packaged it
yet.

The only distro that already provides the scripts from this repo, AFAIR,
is Arch.  I've been talking to Fedora and Debian, and they'll likely
package them soon.

Yup.

I was mentioning it because since you send many patches, it would be
interesting if you could sign them with gpg(1).  It's not necessary, but
if you used one of these, it would be trivial to sign them.

> However, I have been really getting into TUIs recently.

Nice!  :-)

> So if you recommend either, then I'd be enthusiastic to give it a try.

I recommend both.  Personally I like mutt(1) because it's simpler, but
for sending patches, neomutt(1) is useful because it allows signing
patches cryptographically with gpg(1) in batch mode (called by
git-send-email(1)).  mutt(1) can only sign emails in interactive mode.

I certainly recommend you give a try to mutt(1) first.  For interactive
use, I don't need more than that.  I learnt to use it with this youtube
video: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jMInHnpNfQ>.  If you want more
help, I can share my configuration files with you, and maybe clarify
some doubts.

neomutt(1) is a fork of mutt(1) with (many) more features, but I prefer
simpler software with less features.


Have a lovely day!
Alex

[Seth McDonald]

From: Seth McDonald <sethmcmail@pm.me>

The st_blksize and st_blocks fields of the stat(3type) structure were
both specified as 'long' integers in SUSv1.[1]  SUSv2 then changed them
to blksize_t(3type) and blkcnt_t(3type), respectively.[2]

[PATCH v2 00/12] man/man3type/*: Update simple history of types

[Seth McDonald]

Hello,

v2 applies Alex's feedback and reformats the stat(3type) page's history
section by listing the structure's members' different origins in a way
consistent with other man pages.  I also added a separate patch for
splitting stat(3type) and its members' listed standards for nicer
logical ordering.

This patch set doesn't apply.  Maybe you need to git-fetch(1) and
git-rebase(1)?

[PATCH v3 0/3] man/man3type/*: Update simple history of types

[Seth McDonald]

Hello,

This v3 should be almost identical to v2 (sans a reworded commit msg),
except it should (hopefully) work.  I think the reason v2 didn't apply
may be because I just resent all patches, even those already pushed,
rather than only sending the non-pushed patches and using the --base
option for git-format-patch (which I now know about after rereading its
doc).

But regardless, I've tested applying these patches onto origin in my own
worktree after fetching and it seemed to work.

[PATCH v3 3/3] man/man3type/stat.3type: HISTORY: Specify initial datatypes of st_{blksize,blocks}

[Seth McDonald]

From: Seth McDonald <sethmcmail@pm.me>

The st_blksize and st_blocks fields of the stat(3type) structure were
both specified as 'long' integers in SUSv1.[1]  SUSv2 then changed them
to blksize_t(3type) and blkcnt_t(3type), respectively.[2]
