2014-11-21ctermid: return string literal, document MT-Safety pitfallAlexandre Oliva
for ChangeLog * sysdeps/posix/ctermid.c (ctermid): Return a pointer to a string literal if not passed a buffer. * manual/job.texi (ctermid): Update reasoning, note deviation from posix, suggest mtasurace when not passed a buffer, for future non-preliminary safety notes.
2014-02-26Add a new "Inter-Process Communication" chapter.Carlos O'Donell
This patch adds a new "Inter-Process Communication" chapter to cover the sem*, msg*, and shm* functions. Initially we document only the sem* function signatures and their safety notes.
