Subject: Updated: man-pages-linux 6.06
Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2024 10:43:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240217104357.4960-1-Brian.Inglis@SystematicSW.ab.ca> (raw)
The following package has been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution:
* man-pages-linux 6.06
Documents the Linux kernel system calls and C library interfaces used
by programs, plus system and administrative utilities, devices, file
system, file, and data formats, and related information.
For more information, see the project home page:
https://kernel.org/doc/man-pages/
As Cygwin has its own man pages with some conflicts, these man pages are
installed under /usr/share/man/man-pages-linux/, so by default searching
or viewing these pages requires the option:
$ apropos -m|--systems man-pages-linux ...
$ man -m|--systems man-pages-linux ...
Cygwin man pages are under the default system "man", so for convenience
both systems may be specified separated by comma e.g.
$ man -m man,man-pages-linux ...
The path or option may also be added explicitly to a users MANPATH or
alias e.g.
$ export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/share/man/man-pages-linux
$ alias apropos='apropos -m man,man-pages-linux'
$ alias man='man -m man,man-pages-linux'
Add -a to show both Cygwin and Linux (and POSIX if companion package
man-pages-posix is also installed) manual pages.
For convenience and backward compatibility /usr/share/man/linux is
provided as a symlink.
If you prefer to see Linux man pages over Cygwin man pages, then use
-m|--systems linux in the examples above, or add -m linux to a command.
Release 6 added some section 2 and 3 pages suffixed by const, head,
or type installed in the base section directories.

Global changes
--------------
- Build system
- Update PDF book for groff-1.23.0.
- Add targets to [un]install intro(*) pages separately.
- Support manual pages in other projects, so that our build system
can be used to for example lint them.
- Reject non-GNU make(1).
- Add target to build the PDF book.
- man*/
- Add some consistency in the use of man(7).
- Split proc(5) into many small pages.
- Import pages from old linuxthreads (glibc), with their git
history (from both glibc and Debian).
- Rewrite a large part of the documentation for string-copying
functions.
- Say ISO/IEC instead of ISO where appropriate, and be consistent in
the fomatting of names of ISO or ISO/IEC standards.
Changes to individual pages
