man-pages-6.04

[Bruce Dubbs]

New minor version.

[Xi Ruoyao]

The most notable changes in the release are:

• New APIs have been documented in proc(5) (KPF_PGTABLE), landlock(7) (LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER, LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE), and udp(7) (UDP_GRO, UDP_SEGMENT).

• C89 information has been restored. Information about old standards and systems has been moved to a new HISTORY section. VERSIONS has been repurposed, and STANDARDS has been simplified. Some functions have been marked as deprecated, according to their standards.

• The build system has been improved to allow several operations that distributions usually perform, such as installing compressed pages, installing link pages as symlinks, or moving mandirs.

LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER (Linux 5.19) LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE (Linux 6.02)
