More than 400 patches, mainly by Ma Shimiao and Peng Haitao of Fujitsu brought the following changes: * Thread-safety information has been added to many more pages. * The thread-safety notation in man-pages has been made consistent with the notation used in the GNU C Library Manual. * Thread-safety information in man-pages has been checked for consistency with the same information in the GNU C Library Manual. In some cases these, this has resulted in refinements to the markings in man-pages. * The thread-safety information in man-pages has been been converted from a plain text layout to a tabular layout, for ease of reading. By now, thanks mainly to the work of Peng Haitao and Ma Shimiao, nearly 400 of the (around 980) pages in man-pages carry thread-safety information. In addition, a new attributes(7) man page, based on text supplied by Alexandre Oliva (who was responsible for adding thread-safety information to the GNU C Library manual) provides an overview of the thread-safety concepts documented in man-pages, and a description of the notation used in man-pages to describe the thread safety of functions. (Thanks also to Carlos O'Donell for helping us to obtain the permissions needed so that man-pages could recycle this text from the GNU C Library manual.).
