man-pages bug fix update

An updated man-pages package that fixes various bugs is now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The man-pages package provides man (manual) pages from the Linux
Documentation Project.

This updated man-pages package includes fixes for the following bugs:

* the malloc_hook(3) man mage has been updated to reflect the fact that
malloc hooks are multi-thread-unsafe, deprecated functions.

* the ptrace(2) man page description for PTRACE_PEEKUSR has been updated.

* the rint(3) man page has been updated to reflect the fact that the
nearbyint() functions should only be called when ISO C99 is defined.

* a description of the new "scopev4" keyword in the gai.conf configuration
file has been added to the gai.conf(5) man page.

* the new man-pages fdetach(2), isastream(2), fattch(2), putmsg(2) and
getmsg(2) were added, and the unimplemented(2) man page was updated, to
reflect the fact STREAMS functions are not implemented on this system.

* the gethostid(2) man page now includes a warning about sign extension on
64-bit hosts.

* the connect(2) man page has been updated to inclued the following
description for the EADDRNOTAVAIL error code: "Non-existent interface was
requested or the requested address was not local."

* the proc(2) man page has been updated to reflect fields which have been
changed.

* the intro(2) man page incorrectly mentioned the _syscall[X] function,
which is not present in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

* the section on O_DIRECT in the open(2) man page has been updated to
reflect the fact that alignment must fit the block size of the device,
instead of fitting to 512-byte boundaries.

All users of man-pages are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which resolves these issues.

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
