The manual contained several instances of incorrect formatting that were correct texinfo but produced incorrectly rendered manuals or incorrect behaviour from the tooling. The most important was incorrect quoting of function returns by failing to use {} to quote the return. The impact of this mistake means that 'info libc func' does not jump to the function in question but instead to the introductory page under the assumption that func doesn't exist. The function returns are now correctly quoted. The second issue was the use of a category specifier with @deftypefun which doesn't accept a category specifier. If a category specifier is required then @deftypefn needs to be used. This is corrected by changing the command to @deftypefn for such functions that used {Deprecated function} as a category. The last issue is a missing space between the function name and the arguments which results in odd function names like "epoll_wait(int" instead of "epoll_wait". This also impacts the use of 'info libc' and is corrected. We additionally remove ';' from the end of function arguments and add an 'int' return type for dprintf. Lastly we add a new test check-deftype.sh which verifies the expected formatting of @deftypefun, @deftypefunx, @deftypefn, and @deftypefnx. The new test is also run as the summary file is generated to ensure we don't generate incorrect results. The existing check-safety.sh is also run directly as a test to increase coverage since the existing tests only ran on manual install. The new tests now run as part of the standard "make check" that pre-commit CI runs and developers should run. No regressions on x86_64. HTML and PDF rendering reviewed and looks correct for all changes. Reviewed-by: H.J. Lu <hjl.tools@gmail.com> |

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu and x86_64-gnu. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later. Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be installed for the pthread library to work correctly. The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: aarch64*-*-linux-gnu alpha*-*-linux-gnu arc*-*-linux-gnu arm-*-linux-gnueabi csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2 hppa-*-linux-gnu i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 loongarch64-*-linux-gnu Hardware floating point, LE only. m68k-*-linux-gnu microblaze*-*-linux-gnu mips-*-linux-gnu mips64-*-linux-gnu or1k-*-linux-gnu powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only. powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian. s390-*-linux-gnu s390x-*-linux-gnu riscv32-*-linux-gnu riscv64-*-linux-gnu sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the C library at https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has already been corrected. Please see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
