An updated man-pages package that corrects and changes several man pages is
now available.
The man-pages package provides man (manual) pages from the Linux
Documentation Project.
This updated man-pages package makes the following changes to man pages
documentation:
* the connect(2) man page included a description of the EAGAIN error where
documentation of the EADDRNOTAVAIL should have appeared. With this updated
package the erroneous notes were removed and documentation regarding
EADDRNOTAVAIL was added.
* glibc does not provide a wrapper for the gettid system call. The
gettid(2) man page did not note this. It now does.
* hook variables are not thread-safe and, consequently, have been
deprecated. The malloc_hook(3) man page now documents this and adds a note
regarding alternative options.
* the time(1) man page incorrectly stated timing statistics were written to
standard ouput (std out). This information is actually sent to standard
error (std err). The man page has been corrected to document the actual
behavior of the time command.
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated man-pages package, which make
the above-noted corrections and changes.
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
