Preparing the next man page release, I compared the list of
system calls for i386 in 2.4.20 with the list of documented
system calls. It looks like

alloc_hugepages,
exit_group,
fgetxattr,
flistxattr,
free_hugepages,
fremovexattr,
fsetxattr,
getpmsg,
get_thread_area,
gettid,
getxattr,
io_cancel,
io_destroy,
io_getevents,
io_setup,
io_submit,
lgetxattr,
listxattr,
llistxattr,
lremovexattr,
lsetxattr,
madvise1,
putpmsg,
readahead,
removexattr,
rt_sigaction,
rt_sigpending,
rt_sigprocmask,
rt_sigqueueinfo,
rt_sigreturn,
rt_sigsuspend,
rt_sigtimedwait,
security,
set_thread_area,
setxattr,
tkill,
ugetrlimit

are undocumented so far. Contributed man pages are welcome.

*xattr* man pages are in the XFS tree and Andreas Gruenbacher's site,
contents forwarded under separate copy.

getxattr.2:	getxattr, lgetxattr, fgetxattr2
listxattr.2:	listxattr, llistxattr, flistxattr
removexattr.2:	removexattr, lremovexattr, fremovexattr
setxattr.2:	setxattr, lsetxattr, fsetxattr

    getxattr.2:    getxattr, lgetxattr, fgetxattr2

    removexattr.2:    removexattr, lremovexattr, fremovexattr
    setxattr.2:    setxattr, lsetxattr, fsetxattr

Good. Thanks!

However,

there is no indication that redistribution (of possibly modified
copies) is permitted.

There should be no problem with redistribution, I can probably get
someone to update them soon. I presume Andreas will also have no
problems with this.

The man pages are intended to be GPL licensed, while libacl (and libattr)
was originally intended to be under LGPL. I have been quite lazy on
putting that right into the package. I assume that nobody has any
objections. Maybe someone wants to add that information to the CVS?


Regards,
Andreas.

alloc_hugepages and free_hugepages no longer exist.
