This release is now available for download at: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages or ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages and soon at: ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux-local/manpages A few of the changes that may of interest to readers of this list are supplied below. Cheers, Michael (man-pages maintenance is supported by Google, as a Google engineer 20% project.) ==================== Changes in man-pages-2.61 ==================== Changes to individual pages --------------------------- intro.2 mtk Rewrite to reflect the fact that the _syscallN macros are no longer available. select.2 mtk Noted that 'timeout' can also be changed if select() is interrupted by a signal. swapon.2 Ivana Varekova / mtk Update text for EPERM error describing the maximum number of swap files. (From downstream Fedora patch.) write.2 mtk Added details about seekable files and file offset. Noted that write() may write less than 'count' bytes, and gave some examples of why this might occur. Noted what happens if write() is interrupted by a signal. -- Michael Kerrisk maintainer of Linux man pages Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 Want to help with man page maintenance?
