Subject: [PATCH v1 00/19] man/man2/*: Update history of syscalls A-CH
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2026 11:54:29 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1768822707.git.sethmcmail@pm.me> (raw)

Heya all,

Continuing the updating of HISTORY sections, this patch set regards
system calls whose identifiers start with A through CH.  This time, more
care was taken to ensure any modified lists are given in a somewhat
chronological order.

As hinted at previously on this list, searching for a *truely*
chronological ordering is likely a futile effort given the seemingly
circular influences between many early systems.  But an approximation of
this ordering based on our limited information can still be useful.
Which is the attitude with which these patches were made.

And on another note, I think I've found a way to stop Proton Mail from
corrupting patches.  So my patches should henceforth all be PGP-signed,
assuming my workaround is sufficient.
