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.
