RELEASE
The Linux man page maintainer proudly announces. . .
man-pages-1.67.tar.gz - man pages for Linux
POSIX
This release is the first to contain the POSIX 1003.1-2003 man pages.
The directories man0p, man1p, man3p contain descriptions of the
headers, the utilities, and the functions documented in that standard.
Permission to distribute these POSIX man pages has just been obtained,
and the pages in man0p, man1p, man3p were derived from the POSIX html
pages by some silly conversion script. No doubt the result is still
full of flaws, and all of this can be much improved.
Corrections, scripts, etc. are welcome - aeb@cwi.nl.
In order to use this, put in {/usr/share/misc/}man.conf{ig} or so
your favourite order of looking at these pages, for example,
MANSECT 1p:1:8:0p:3p:2:3:4:5:6:7:9:tcl:n:l:p:o
or set the MANSECT environment variable.
OTHER PAGES
The remaining pages are most of the section 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 man pages
for Linux, and in addition section 1 man pages for the fileutils-4.0
utilities, and section 5 and 8 man pages for the timezone utilities.
[The latter were taken from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2001a.tar.gz.]
[The section 3 man pages for the db routines have been taken from
ftp://ftp.terra.net/pub/sleepycat/db.1.86.tar.gz.]
[The rpc man pages were taken from the 4.4BSD-Lite CDROM.]
Differences from version 1.66:
The file POSIX-COPYRIGHT and the man pages
capget.2 epoll_ctl.2 execve.2 fcntl.2 getrlimit.2 ioctl.2
mincore.2 mmap.2 mremap.2 open.2 sched_setaffinity.2
setresuid.2 sigpause.2 utime.2
getmntent.3 gets.3 hsearch.3 login.3 scandir.3
epoll.4
proc.5
ascii.7 LDP.7 packet.7 socket.7 unix.7
are new or have been updated. Typographical or grammatical errors
have been corrected in several other places.
Here is a breakdown of what this distribution contains:
Section 0p = POSIX headers
Section 1p = POSIX utilities
Section 3p = POSIX functions
Section 1 = user commands (intro, and pages not maintained by FSF)
Section 2 = system calls
Section 3 = libc calls
Section 4 = devices (e.g., hd, sd)
Section 5 = file formats and protocols (e.g., wtmp, /etc/passwd, nfs)
Section 6 = games (intro only)
Section 7 = conventions, macro packages, etc.
Section 8 = system administration (intro only)
Usually, there are no section 1, 6 and 8 man pages because these
should be distributed with the binaries they are written for.
Sometimes Section 9 is used for man pages describing parts of the kernel.
Note that only Section 2 is rather complete, but Section 3 contains
several hundred man pages. If you want to write some man pages,
please do so and mail them to aeb@cwi.nl.
