2013-07-28Add readlinkat(2) specific errors.njoly
2013-01-13Revert defective O_SEARCH implementation committed by manu@ along withdholland
the *at system calls on November 18th of last year. Reasons to revert it include: - it is incorrect in a whole variety of ways (but fortunately, one of them is that the missing and improper permission checks have no net effect); - it was committed without review or discussion; - core ruled that all the new O_* flags pertaining to the *at calls needed to wait until their semantics could be clarified. manu was asked to revert it on these grounds but has ignored the request. I have left O_SEARCH defined and visible and made open() explicitly ignore it. This way, most code that tries to use it will continue to build and run. I've also arranged lib/libc/c063/t_o_search.c so that the tests that make use of the O_SEARCH semantics will disappear until O_SEARCH comes back, and fixed some mistakes and/or incorrect hacks that were causing some of these to succeed despite the broken O_SEARCH implementation.
2012-12-01Bump date. New sentence, new line. Wording/articles.wiz
While here, sort errors.
2012-12-01Remove trailing whitespace.wiz
2012-11-18Add most system calls for POSIX extended API set, part 2, with test cases:manu
faccessat(2), fchmodat(2), fchownat(2), fstatat(2), mkdirat(2), mkfifoat(2), mknodat(2), linkat(2), readlinkat(2), symlinkat(2), renameat(2), unlinkat(2), utimensat(2), openat(2). Also implement O_SEARCH for openat(2) Still missing: - some flags for openat(2) - fexecve(2) implementation
2010-05-31Consistently use `.Brq Dv XXX' across syscalls man pages, for NAME_MAXnjoly
and PATH_MAX.
2004-05-13\- is a minus, not -.wiz
2004-05-11Sort sections; use \*[Lt]\*[Gt] instead of <>.wiz
2004-05-11When using PATH_MAX in the example, make sure we include <limits.h>!kleink
2004-05-11Add an example code piece; suggested by Thomas Klausner.kleink
2004-05-11End sentence with a dot.wiz
2004-05-10While I'm at it: add restrict qualifiers to readlink(2).kleink
2004-05-10POSIX-2001: Change readlink(2)'s return type from int to ssize_t.kleink
2003-08-07Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.agc
Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22280, verified by myself.
2003-04-16Usewiz
.In header.h instead of .Fd #include \*[Lt]header.h\*[Gt] Much easier to read and write, and supported by groff for ages. Okayed by ross.
2003-01-18Merge the nathanw_sa branch.thorpej
2002-02-08Generate <>& symbolically. I'm avoiding .../dist/... directories for now.ross
2001-09-16Sort sections, sort SEE ALSO, punctuation and miscellanous fixes.wiz
2001-09-16Boring whitespace fixes.wiz
1999-12-02Add a LIBRARY section to system call manual pages. While it's clear that thekleink
libraries contain stubs only (with minor exceptions a la pipe(2)), the purpose of this section is to provide linkage information.
1999-03-22Last of the .Os cleanups. .Os is defined in the tmac.doc-common file,garbled
so we shouldn't override it with versions in the manpages. Wheee!
1998-08-29first pass at fixing up capitalization of function names andlukem
arguments; ensure that each is correct with respect to the implementation, rather than being correct as per english.
1998-03-27Per X/Open CAE Spec Issue 5 Version 2, change the buffer size argument ofkleink
readlink() from type `int' to type `size_t'. This isn't an ABI change, since the calling convention of our only LP64 platform (the Alpha) already promotes this argument to a `long'. This may not be the final action on this matter; readlink() still returns an `int', which may change in a future revision of the standard.
1997-03-25fix misplaced punctuation in SEE ALSO section.mikel
1995-02-27merge with lite, keeping most local changes. clean up Idscgd
1994-04-22Remove description of EINVAL, "The pathname contains a character with thejtc
high-order bit set", as this error is obsolete. Eventually we may want to add code to some of the "optional" filesystems (msdosfs, etc.) that checks for illegal characters. At that time it would be appropriate to reintroduce this error with appropriate text. Perhaps "The pathname contains a character that is not valid for filesystem type".
1994-04-19Use symbolic names {NAME_MAX} & {PATH_MAX} instead of 255 and 1023 injtc
description of ENAMETOOLONG error.
1993-11-29Use "Er" for argument to -width in the lists in the ERROR sections --- sojtc
the formatting is consistant.
1993-11-25Clean up manpages:jtc
Use .Fn rather than .Nm macro in HISTORY and STANDARDS sections. Use .At and .St macros instead of spelling out "Version 6 UNIX", "IEEE 1003.1-1988 (POSIX)", etc.
1993-08-01Add RCS indentifiers.mycroft
