Gidday,

I just released man-pages-2.43.

This release is now available for download at:

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages
or mirrors: ftp://ftp.XX.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages

and soon at:

ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux-local/manpages

Changes in this release that may be of interest to readers
of this list include the following:

Changes to individual pages
---------------------------

rtc.4
David Brownell

Update the RTC man page to reflect the new RTC class framework:

- Generalize ... it's not just for PC/AT style RTCs, and there
may be more than one RTC per system.

- Not all RTCs expose the same feature set as PC/AT ones; most
of these ioctls will be rejected by some RTCs.

- Be explicit about when {A,P}IE_{ON,OFF} calls are needed.

- Describe the parameter to the get/set epoch request; correct
the description of the get/set frequency parameter.

- Document RTC_WKALM_{RD,SET}, which don't need AIE_{ON,OFF} and
which support longer alarm periods.

- Hey, not all system clock implementations count timer irqs any
more now that the new RT-derived clock support is merging.

raw.7
udp.7
Andi Kleen
Describe the correct default for UDP/RAW path MTU discovery.

Cheers,

Michael
