Cheers, Michael ==================== Changes in man-pages-3.08 ==================== Released: 2008-08-27, Zurich New and rewritten pages ----------------------- getnetent_r.3 mtk Documents getnetent_r(), getnetbyname_r(), and getnetbyaddr_r(), the reentrant equivalents of getnetent(), getnetbyname(), and getnetbyaddr(). getprotoent_r.3 mtk Documents getprotoent_r(), getprotobyname_r(), and getprotobynumber_r(), the reentrant equivalents of getprotoent(), getprotobyname(), and getprotobynumber(). getrpcent_r.3 mtk Documents getrpcent_r(), getrpcbyname_r(), and getrpcbynumber_r(), the reentrant equivalents of getrpcent(), getrpcbyname(), and getrpcbynumber(). getservent_r.3 mtk Documents getservent_r(), getservbyname_r(), and getservbyport_r(), the reentrant equivalents of getservent(), getservbyname(), and getservbyport(). numa.7 mtk A new page giving overview details for the Linux NUMA interfaces. Incorporates some material from mbind.2, and the description of /proc/PID/numa_maps from proc.5. Changes to individual pages --------------------------- link.2 mtk Note kernel version where Linux stopped following symbolic links in 'oldpath'; see also http://lwn.net/Articles/294667. POSIX.1-2008 makes it implementation-dependent whether or not 'oldpath' is dereferenced if it is a symbolic link. Add a reference to linkat(2) for an interface that allows precise control of the treatment of symbolic links. pthreads.7 mtk Update thread-safe functions list with changes in POSIX.1-2008. SEE ALSO: add proc(5). signal.7 mtk Update list of async-sygnal-safe functions for POSIX.1-2008.
