BZ#835679

The nscd.conf(5) manual page was not listing “services” among valid services. With this update, “services” are listed in the nscd.conf(5) manual page as expected.

BZ#840791

Previously, the nsswitch.conf(5) manual page lacked information on the search mechanism, particularly about the notfound status. This update provides an improved manual page with added description of notfound.

BZ#840796

Prior to this update, the behavior of the connect() call with the local address set to the INADDR_ANY wildcard address was insufficiently described in the ip(7) manual page. Possible duplication of the local port after the call was not acknowledged. With this update, the documentation has been reworked in order to reflect the behavior of the connect() call correctly.

BZ#840798

Due to the vague description of the getdents() function in the getdents(2) manual page, the risk of using this function directly was not clear enough. The description has been extended with a warning to prevent incorrect usage of the getdents() function.

BZ#840805

The nscd.conf(5) manual page was missing descriptions and contained several duplicate entries. With this update, the text has been clarified and redundant entries have been removed.

BZ#857163

Previously, the tzset(3) manual page contained an incorrect interval in the description of the start and end format for Daylight Saving Time. Consequently, users thought the number was 1-based rather than 0-based when not using the J option. With this update, the manual page has been corrected. The Julian day can be specified with an interval of 0 to 365 and February 29 is counted in leap years when the J option is not used.

BZ#857962

The description of the /proc/sys/fs/file-nr file in the proc(5) manual page was outdated. This update adds the current information to this manual page.

BZ#858278

The connect(2) manual page in the Error section listed EAGAIN error code instead of EADDRNOTAVAIL error code. This update amends the manual page with correct information.
