- update to version 3.42
  * Global changes
  * Various pages
        Global fix: use UR macro where applicable
            The syntax .UR http://example.com paired with .UE will create
            links which one can interact, if the pager allows that.  One
            way to see the effect is ask the man(1) command to use browser
            display, e.g.:
                man -H man7/uri.7
            ("\:" is optional groff syntax to permit hyphenless line breaks.)

      fchmodat.2
        Note difference between glibc wrapper and underlying system call
            The wrapper function has a 'flags' argument (which currently
            serves no purpose), while the underlying system call does not.
      fcntl.2
        Explain behaviour of F_GETLEASE during lease break
        Change type of arg from "long" to "int"
            Various fcntl(2) commands require an integral 'arg'.
            The man page said it must be "long" in all such cases.
            However, for the cases covered by POSIX, there is an
            explicit requirement that these arguments be "int".

      nfsservctl.2
        Note that this system call was removed in Linux 3.1
      ptrace.2
        add extended description of various ptrace quirks
            Changes include:
            s/parent/tracer/g, s/child/tracee/g - ptrace interface now
            is sufficiently cleaned up to not treat tracing process
            as parent.
            Deleted several outright false statements:
            - pid 1 can be traced
            - tracer is not shown as parent in ps output
            - PTRACE_ATTACH is not "the same behavior as if tracee had done
              a PTRACE_TRACEME": PTRACE_ATTACH delivers a SIGSTOP.
            - SIGSTOP _can_ be injected.
            - Removed mentions of SunOS and Solaris as irrelevant.
            - Added a few more known bugs.
            Added a large block of text in DESCRIPTION which doesn't focus
            on mechanical description of each flag and operation, but rather
            tries to describe a bigger picture. The targeted audience is
            a person which is reasonably knowledgeable in Unix but did not

            Bring more consistency to the discussion of
            "[terminating] null wide character"
            by writing (at least in the initial use in a page)
            "[terminating] null wide character (L'\0')".

        Global fix: consistent use of "null byte"
            Bring more consistency to the discussion of
            "[terminating] null byte"
            by writing (at least in the initial use in a page)
            "[terminating] null byte ('\0')".
