- 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.) * Changes to individual pages ldd.1 Add security note on untrusted executables See also http://www.catonmat.net/blog/ldd-arbitrary-code-execution/ and http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html clone.2 Rewrite discussion of sys_clone futex.2 Consolidate error descriptions to ERRORS Various wording fix-ups Fix description of EINVAL error The current text seems incorrect. Replace with a more general description. getdents.2 select_tut.2 atof.3 atoi.3 pthread_create.3 pthread_sigmask.3

- license update: BSD-3-Clause and GPL-2.0+ and MIT SPDX - update to version 3.37 * New and rewritten pages getent.1 New page to document 'getent' binary provided by glibc * Changes to individual pages bdflush.2 Note that bdflush() is deprecated, and does nothing 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
