+.\" Notes from Eugene Syromyatnikov:
+.\" I haven't found any concrete information about this one;
+.\" it never was implemented in Linux, at least, judging by historical
+.\" repos. There is also this file (and its variations):
+.\" https://github.com/ecki/net-tools/blob/master/lib/ash.c
+.\" ( https://github.com/ecki/net-tools/commits/master/lib/ash.c )
+.\" it mentions "NET-2 distribution" (BSD Net/2?), but, again, I failed
+.\" to find any mentions of "ash" protocol there.
+.\" (for the reference:
+.\" ftp://pdp11.org.ru/pub/unix-archive/Distributions/UCB/Net2/net2.tar.gz )
+.\" Another source that mentions it is
+.\" https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/user-guides/ug101-uart-gateway-protocol-reference.pdf
+.\" https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/user-guides/ug115-ashv3-protocol-reference.pdf
+.\" but I doubt that it's related, as former files use 64-byte addresses and
+.\" "Hamming-encode of hops", and that's barely combines with a protocol
+.\" that is mainly used over serial connection.

+.SH NAME
+aio \- POSIX asynchronous I/O overview
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The POSIX asynchronous I/O (AIO) interface allows applications
+to initiate one or more I/O operations that are performed
+asynchronously (i.e., in the background).
+The application can elect to be notified of completion of
+the I/O operation in a variety of ways:
+by delivery of a signal, by instantiation of a thread,
+or no notification at all.
+.PP
+The POSIX AIO interface consists of the following functions:
+.TP
+.BR aio_read (3)
+Enqueue a read request.
+This is the asynchronous analog of
+.BR read (2).
+.TP
+.BR aio_write (3)
+Enqueue a write request.
+This is the asynchronous analog of
+.BR write (2).
+.TP
+.BR aio_fsync (3)
+Enqueue a sync request for the I/O operations on a file descriptor.
+This is the asynchronous analog of
+.BR fsync (2)
+and
+.BR fdatasync (2).
+.TP
+.BR aio_error (3)
+Obtain the error status of an enqueued I/O request.
+.TP
+.BR aio_return (3)
+Obtain the return status of a completed I/O request.
+.TP
+.BR aio_suspend (3)
+Suspend the caller until one or more of a specified set of
+I/O requests completes.
+.TP
+.BR aio_cancel (3)
+Attempt to cancel outstanding I/O requests on a specified
+file descriptor.
+.TP
+.BR lio_listio (3)
+Enqueue multiple I/O requests using a single function call.
+.PP
+The
+.I aiocb
+("asynchronous I/O control block") structure defines
+parameters that control an I/O operation.
+An argument of this type is employed with all of the functions listed above.
+This structure has the following form:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+#include <aiocb.h>
+\&
+struct aiocb {
+ /* The order of these fields is implementation\-dependent */
+\&
+ int aio_fildes; /* File descriptor */
+ off_t aio_offset; /* File offset */
+ volatile void *aio_buf; /* Location of buffer */
+ size_t aio_nbytes; /* Length of transfer */
+ int aio_reqprio; /* Request priority */
+ struct sigevent aio_sigevent; /* Notification method */
+ int aio_lio_opcode; /* Operation to be performed;
+ lio_listio() only */
+\&
+ /* Various implementation\-internal fields not shown */
+};
+\&
+/* Operation codes for \[aq]aio_lio_opcode\[aq]: */
+\&
+enum { LIO_READ, LIO_WRITE, LIO_NOP };
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+The fields of this structure are as follows:
+.TP
+.I aio_fildes
+The file descriptor on which the I/O operation is to be performed.
+.TP
+.I aio_offset
+This is the file offset at which the I/O operation is to be performed.
+.TP
+.I aio_buf
+This is the buffer used to transfer data for a read or write operation.
+.TP
+.I aio_nbytes
+This is the size of the buffer pointed to by
+.IR aio_buf .
+.TP
+.I aio_reqprio
+This field specifies a value that is subtracted
+from the calling thread's real-time priority in order to
+determine the priority for execution of this I/O request (see
+.BR pthread_setschedparam (3)).
+The specified value must be between 0 and the value returned by
+.IR sysconf(_SC_AIO_PRIO_DELTA_MAX) .
+This field is ignored for file synchronization operations.
+.TP
+.I aio_sigevent
+This field is a structure that specifies how the caller is
+to be notified when the asynchronous I/O operation completes.
+Possible values for
+.I aio_sigevent.sigev_notify
+are
+.BR SIGEV_NONE ,
+.BR SIGEV_SIGNAL ,
+and
+.BR SIGEV_THREAD .
+See
+.BR sigevent (7)
+for further details.
+.TP
+.I aio_lio_opcode
+The type of operation to be performed; used only for
+.BR lio_listio (3).
+.PP
+In addition to the standard functions listed above,
+the GNU C library provides the following extension to the POSIX AIO API:
+.TP
+.BR aio_init (3)
+Set parameters for tuning the behavior of the glibc POSIX AIO implementation.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+The
+.I aio_reqprio
+field of the
+.I aiocb
+structure was less than 0,
+or was greater than the limit returned by the call
+.IR sysconf(_SC_AIO_PRIO_DELTA_MAX) .
+.SH STANDARDS
+POSIX.1-2008.
+.SH HISTORY
+POSIX.1-2001.
+glibc 2.1.
+.SH NOTES
+It is a good idea to zero out the control block buffer before use (see
+.BR memset (3)).
+The control block buffer and the buffer pointed to by
+.I aio_buf
+must not be changed while the I/O operation is in progress.
+These buffers must remain valid until the I/O operation completes.
+.PP
+Simultaneous asynchronous read or write operations using the same
+.I aiocb
+structure yield undefined results.
+.PP
+The current Linux POSIX AIO implementation is provided in user space by glibc.
+This has a number of limitations, most notably that maintaining multiple
+threads to perform I/O operations is expensive and scales poorly.
+Work has been in progress for some time on a kernel
+state-machine-based implementation of asynchronous I/O
+(see
+.BR io_submit (2),
+.BR io_setup (2),
+.BR io_cancel (2),
+.BR io_destroy (2),
+.BR io_getevents (2)),
+but this implementation hasn't yet matured to the point where
+the POSIX AIO implementation can be completely
+reimplemented using the kernel system calls.

+.SH EXAMPLES
+The program below opens each of the files named in its command-line
+arguments and queues a request on the resulting file descriptor using
+.BR aio_read (3).
+The program then loops,
+periodically monitoring each of the I/O operations
+that is still in progress using
+.BR aio_error (3).
+Each of the I/O requests is set up to provide notification by delivery
+of a signal.
+After all I/O requests have completed,
+the program retrieves their status using
+.BR aio_return (3).
+.PP
+The
+.B SIGQUIT
+signal (generated by typing control-\e) causes the program to request
+cancelation of each of the outstanding requests using
+.BR aio_cancel (3).
+.PP
+Here is an example of what we might see when running this program.
+In this example, the program queues two requests to standard input,
+and these are satisfied by two lines of input containing
+"abc" and "x".
+.PP

+.SH NAME
+arp \- Linux ARP kernel module.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This kernel protocol module implements the Address Resolution
+Protocol defined in RFC\ 826.
+It is used to convert between Layer2 hardware addresses
+and IPv4 protocol addresses on directly connected networks.
+The user normally doesn't interact directly with this module except to
+configure it;
+instead it provides a service for other protocols in the kernel.
+.PP
+A user process can receive ARP packets by using
+.BR packet (7)
+sockets.
+There is also a mechanism for managing the ARP cache
+in user-space by using
+.BR netlink (7)
+sockets.
+The ARP table can also be controlled via
+.BR ioctl (2)
+on any
+.B AF_INET
+socket.
+.PP
+The ARP module maintains a cache of mappings between hardware addresses
+and protocol addresses.
+The cache has a limited size so old and less
+frequently used entries are garbage-collected.
+Entries which are marked
+as permanent are never deleted by the garbage-collector.
+The cache can
+be directly manipulated by the use of ioctls and its behavior can be
+tuned by the
+.I /proc
+interfaces described below.
+.PP
+When there is no positive feedback for an existing mapping after some
+time (see the
+.I /proc
+interfaces below), a neighbor cache entry is considered stale.
+Positive feedback can be gotten from a higher layer; for example from
+a successful TCP ACK.
+Other protocols can signal forward progress
+using the
+.B MSG_CONFIRM
+flag to
+.BR sendmsg (2).
+When there is no forward progress, ARP tries to reprobe.
+It first tries to ask a local arp daemon
+.B app_solicit
+times for an updated MAC address.
+If that fails and an old MAC address is known, a unicast probe is sent
+.B ucast_solicit
+times.
+If that fails too, it will broadcast a new ARP
+request to the network.
+Requests are sent only when there is data queued
+for sending.
+.PP
+Linux will automatically add a nonpermanent proxy arp entry when it
+receives a request for an address it forwards to and proxy arp is
+enabled on the receiving interface.
+When there is a reject route for the target, no proxy arp entry is added.
+.SS Ioctls
+Three ioctls are available on all
+.B AF_INET
+sockets.
+They take a pointer to a
+.I struct arpreq
+as their argument.
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct arpreq {
+ struct sockaddr arp_pa; /* protocol address */
+ struct sockaddr arp_ha; /* hardware address */

+Setting and deleting ARP maps are privileged operations and may
+be performed only by a process with the

+.PP

+.SH VERSIONS
+The
+.I struct arpreq
+changed in Linux 2.0 to include the
+.I arp_dev
+member and the ioctl numbers changed at the same time.
+Support for the old ioctls was dropped in Linux 2.2.
+.PP
+Support for proxy arp entries for networks (netmask not equal 0xffffffff)
+was dropped in Linux 2.2.
+It is replaced by automatic proxy arp setup by
+the kernel for all reachable hosts on other interfaces (when
+forwarding and proxy arp is enabled for the interface).
+.PP
+The
+.I neigh/*
+interfaces did not exist before Linux 2.2.
+.SH BUGS
+Some timer settings are specified in jiffies, which is architecture-
+and kernel version-dependent; see
+.BR time (7).
+.PP
+There is no way to signal positive feedback from user space.
+This means connection-oriented protocols implemented in user space
+will generate excessive ARP traffic, because ndisc will regularly
+reprobe the MAC address.
+The same problem applies for some kernel protocols (e.g., NFS over UDP).

+with functionality that is shared between IPv4 and IPv6.

+.SS History
+/etc/ascii (VII) appears in the UNIX Programmer's Manual.
+.PP
+On older terminals, the underscore code is displayed as a left arrow,
+called backarrow, the caret is displayed as an up-arrow and the vertical
+bar has a hole in the middle.
+.PP
+Uppercase and lowercase characters differ by just one bit and the
+ASCII character 2 differs from the double quote by just one bit, too.
+That made it much easier to encode characters mechanically or with a
+non-microcontroller-based electronic keyboard and that pairing was found
+on old teletypes.
+.PP
+The ASCII standard was published by the United States of America
+Standards Institute (USASI) in 1968.
+.\"
+.\" ASA was the American Standards Association and X3 was an ASA sectional
+.\" committee on computers and data processing. Its name changed to
+.\" American National Standards Committee X3 (ANSC-X3) and now it is known
+.\" as Accredited Standards Committee X3 (ASC X3). It is accredited by ANSI
+.\" and administered by ITI. The subcommittee X3.2 worked on coded
+.\" character sets; the task group working on ASCII appears to have been
+.\" designated X3.2.4. In 1966, ASA became the United States of America
+.\" Standards Institute (USASI) and published ASCII in 1968. It became the
+.\" American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1969 and is the
+.\" U.S. member body of ISO; private and nonprofit.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.\"
+.\"
+.IR Note :
+the text of this man page is based on the material taken from
+the "POSIX Safety Concepts" section of the GNU C Library manual.
+Further details on the topics described here can be found in that
+manual.
+.PP
+Various function manual pages include a section ATTRIBUTES
+that describes the safety of calling the function in various contexts.
+This section annotates functions with the following safety markings:
+.TP
+.I MT-Safe
+.I MT-Safe
+or
+Thread-Safe functions are safe to call in the presence
+of other threads.
+MT, in MT-Safe, stands for Multi Thread.
+.IP
+Being MT-Safe does not imply a function is atomic, nor that it uses any
+of the memory synchronization mechanisms POSIX exposes to users.
+It is even possible that calling MT-Safe functions in sequence
+does not yield an MT-Safe combination.
+For example, having a thread call two MT-Safe
+functions one right after the other does not guarantee behavior
+equivalent to atomic execution of a combination of both functions,
+since concurrent calls in other threads may interfere in a destructive way.
+.IP
+Whole-program optimizations that could inline functions across library
+interfaces may expose unsafe reordering, and so performing inlining
+across the GNU C Library interface is not recommended.
+The documented
+MT-Safety status is not guaranteed under whole-program optimization.
+However, functions defined in user-visible headers are designed to be
+safe for inlining.
+.\" .TP
+.\" .I AS-Safe
+.\" .I AS-Safe
+.\" or Async-Signal-Safe functions are safe to call from
+.\" asynchronous signal handlers.
+.\" AS, in AS-Safe, stands for Asynchronous Signal.
+.\"
+.\" Many functions that are AS-Safe may set
+.\" .IR errno ,
+.\" or modify the floating-point environment,
+.\" because their doing so does not make them
+.\" unsuitable for use in signal handlers.
+.\" However, programs could misbehave should asynchronous signal handlers
+.\" modify this thread-local state,
+.\" and the signal handling machinery cannot be counted on to
+.\" preserve it.
+.\" Therefore, signal handlers that call functions that may set
+.\" .I errno
+.\" or modify the floating-point environment
+.\" .I must
+.\" save their original values, and restore them before returning.
+.\" .TP
+.\" .I AC-Safe
+.\" .I AC-Safe
+.\" or Async-Cancel-Safe functions are safe to call when
+.\" asynchronous cancelation is enabled.
+.\" AC in AC-Safe stands for Asynchronous Cancelation.
+.\"
+.\" The POSIX standard defines only three functions to be AC-Safe, namely
+.\" .BR pthread_cancel (3),
+.\" .BR pthread_setcancelstate (3),
+.\" and
+.\" .BR pthread_setcanceltype (3).
+.\" At present the GNU C Library provides no
+.\" guarantees beyond these three functions,
+.\" but does document which functions are presently AC-Safe.
+.\" This documentation is provided for use
+.\" by the GNU C Library developers.
+.\"
+.\" Just like signal handlers, cancelation cleanup routines must configure
+.\" the floating point environment they require.
+.\" The routines cannot assume a floating point environment,
+.\" particularly when asynchronous cancelation is enabled.
+.\" If the configuration of the floating point
+.\" environment cannot be performed atomically then it is also possible that
+.\" the environment encountered is internally inconsistent.
+.TP
+.I MT-Unsafe \" ", " AS-Unsafe ", " AC-Unsafe
+.I MT-Unsafe \" ", " AS-Unsafe ", " AC-Unsafe
+functions are not safe to call in a multithreaded programs.
+.\" functions are not
+.\" safe to call within the safety contexts described above.
+.\" Calling them
+.\" within such contexts invokes undefined behavior.
+.\"
+.\" Functions not explicitly documented as safe in a safety context should
+.\" be regarded as Unsafe.
+.\" .TP
+.\" .I Preliminary
+.\" .I Preliminary
+.\" safety properties are documented, indicating these
+.\" properties may
+.\" .I not
+.\" be counted on in future releases of
+.\" the GNU C Library.
+.\"
+.\" Such preliminary properties are the result of an assessment of the
+.\" properties of our current implementation,
+.\" rather than of what is mandated and permitted
+.\" by current and future standards.
+.\"
+.\" Although we strive to abide by the standards, in some cases our
+.\" implementation is safe even when the standard does not demand safety,
+.\" and in other cases our implementation does not meet the standard safety
+.\" requirements.
+.\" The latter are most likely bugs; the former, when marked
+.\" as
+.\" .IR Preliminary ,
+.\" should not be counted on: future standards may
+.\" require changes that are not compatible with the additional safety
+.\" properties afforded by the current implementation.
+.\"
+.\" Furthermore,
+.\" the POSIX standard does not offer a detailed definition of safety.
+.\" We assume that, by "safe to call", POSIX means that,
+.\" as long as the program does not invoke undefined behavior,
+.\" the "safe to call" function behaves as specified,
+.\" and does not cause other functions to deviate from their specified behavior.
+.\" We have chosen to use its loose
+.\" definitions of safety, not because they are the best definitions to use,
+.\" but because choosing them harmonizes this manual with POSIX.
+.\"
+.\" Please keep in mind that these are preliminary definitions and annotations,
+.\" and certain aspects of the definitions are still under
+.\" discussion and might be subject to clarification or change.
+.\"
+.\" Over time,
+.\" we envision evolving the preliminary safety notes into stable commitments,
+.\" as stable as those of our interfaces.
+.\" As we do, we will remove the
+.\" .I Preliminary
+.\" keyword from safety notes.
+.\" As long as the keyword remains, however,
+.\" they are not to be regarded as a promise of future behavior.
+.PP
+Other keywords that appear in safety notes are defined in subsequent sections.
+.\"
+.\"

+.SS Conditionally safe features
+For some features that make functions unsafe to call in certain contexts,
+there are known ways to avoid the safety problem other than
+refraining from calling the function altogether.
+The keywords that follow refer to such features,
+and each of their definitions indicates
+how the whole program needs to be constrained in order to remove the
+safety problem indicated by the keyword.
+Only when all the reasons that
+make a function unsafe are observed and addressed,
+by applying the documented constraints,
+does the function become safe to call in a context.
+.TP
+.I init
+Functions marked with
+.I init
+as an MT-Unsafe feature perform
+MT-Unsafe initialization when they are first called.
+.IP
+Calling such a function at least once in single-threaded mode removes
+this specific cause for the function to be regarded as MT-Unsafe.
+If no other cause for that remains,
+the function can then be safely called after other threads are started.
+.\"
+.\" Functions marked with
+.\" .I init
+.\" as an AS-Unsafe or AC-Unsafe feature use the GNU C Library internal
+.\" .I libc_once
+.\" machinery or similar to initialize internal data structures.
+.\"
+.\" If a signal handler interrupts such an initializer,
+.\" and calls any function that also performs
+.\" .I libc_once
+.\" initialization, it will deadlock if the thread library has been loaded.
+.\"
+.\" Furthermore, if an initializer is partially complete before it is canceled
+.\" or interrupted by a signal whose handler requires the same initialization,
+.\" some or all of the initialization may be performed more than once,
+.\" leaking resources or even resulting in corrupt internal data.
+.\"
+.\" Applications that need to call functions marked with
+.\" .I init
+.\" as an AS-Safety or AC-Unsafe feature should ensure
+.\" the initialization is performed
+.\" before configuring signal handlers or enabling cancelation,
+.\" so that the AS-Safety and AC-Safety issues related with
+.\" .I libc_once
+.\" do not arise.
+.\"
+.\" .\" We may have to extend the annotations to cover conditions in which
+.\" .\" initialization may or may not occur, since an initial call in a safe
+.\" .\" context is no use if the initialization doesn't take place at that
+.\" .\" time: it doesn't remove the risk for later calls.
+.TP
+.I race
+Functions annotated with
+.I race
+as an MT-Safety issue operate on
+objects in ways that may cause data races or similar forms of
+destructive interference out of concurrent execution.
+In some cases,
+the objects are passed to the functions by users;
+in others, they are used by the functions to return values to users;
+in others, they are not even exposed to users.
+.\"
+.\" We consider access to objects passed as (indirect) arguments to
+.\" functions to be data race free.
+.\" The assurance of data race free objects
+.\" is the caller's responsibility.
+.\" We will not mark a function as MT-Unsafe or AS-Unsafe
+.\" if it misbehaves when users fail to take the measures required by
+.\" POSIX to avoid data races when dealing with such objects.
+.\" As a general rule, if a function is documented as reading from
+.\" an object passed (by reference) to it, or modifying it,
+.\" users ought to use memory synchronization primitives
+.\" to avoid data races just as they would should they perform
+.\" the accesses themselves rather than by calling the library function.
+.\" Standard I/O
+.\" .RI ( "FILE *" )
+.\" streams are the exception to the general rule,
+.\" in that POSIX mandates the library to guard against data races
+.\" in many functions that manipulate objects of this specific opaque type.
+.\" We regard this as a convenience provided to users,
+.\" rather than as a general requirement whose expectations
+.\" should extend to other types.
+.\"
+.\" In order to remind users that guarding certain arguments is their
+.\" responsibility, we will annotate functions that take objects of certain
+.\" types as arguments.
+.\" We draw the line for objects passed by users as follows:
+.\" objects whose types are exposed to users,
+.\" and that users are expected to access directly,
+.\" such as memory buffers, strings,
+.\" and various user-visible structured types, do
+.\" .I not
+.\" give reason for functions to be annotated with
+.\" .IR race .
+.\" It would be noisy and redundant with the general requirement,
+.\" and not many would be surprised by the library's lack of internal
+.\" guards when accessing objects that can be accessed directly by users.
+.\"
+.\" As for objects that are opaque or opaque-like,
+.\" in that they are to be manipulated only by passing them
+.\" to library functions (e.g.,
+.\" .IR FILE ,
+.\" .IR DIR ,
+.\" .IR obstack ,
+.\" .IR iconv_t ),
+.\" there might be additional expectations as to internal coordination
+.\" of access by the library.
+.\" We will annotate, with
+.\" .I race
+.\" followed by a colon and the argument name,
+.\" functions that take such objects but that do not take
+.\" care of synchronizing access to them by default.
+.\" For example,
+.\" .I FILE
+.\" stream
+.\" .I unlocked
+.\" functions
+.\" .RB ( unlocked_stdio (3))
+.\" will be annotated,
+.\" but those that perform implicit locking on
+.\" .I FILE
+.\" streams by default will not,
+.\" even though the implicit locking may be disabled on a per-stream basis.
+.\"
+.\" In either case, we will not regard as MT-Unsafe functions that may
+.\" access user-supplied objects in unsafe ways should users fail to ensure
+.\" the accesses are well defined.
+.\" The notion prevails that users are expected to safeguard against
+.\" data races any user-supplied objects that the library accesses
+.\" on their behalf.
+.\"
+.\" .\" The above describes @mtsrace; @mtasurace is described below.
+.\"
+.\" This user responsibility does not apply, however,
+.\" to objects controlled by the library itself,
+.\" such as internal objects and static buffers used
+.\" to return values from certain calls.
+.\" When the library doesn't guard them against concurrent uses,
+.\" these cases are regarded as MT-Unsafe and AS-Unsafe (although the
+.\" .I race
+.\" mark under AS-Unsafe will be omitted
+.\" as redundant with the one under MT-Unsafe).
+.\" As in the case of user-exposed objects,
+.\" the mark may be followed by a colon and an identifier.
+.\" The identifier groups all functions that operate on a
+.\" certain unguarded object; users may avoid the MT-Safety issues related
+.\" with unguarded concurrent access to such internal objects by creating a
+.\" non-recursive mutex related with the identifier,
+.\" and always holding the mutex when calling any function marked
+.\" as racy on that identifier,
+.\" as they would have to should the identifier be
+.\" an object under user control.
+.\" The non-recursive mutex avoids the MT-Safety issue,
+.\" but it trades one AS-Safety issue for another,
+.\" so use in asynchronous signals remains undefined.
+.\"
+.\" When the identifier relates to a static buffer used to hold return values,
+.\" the mutex must be held for as long as the buffer remains in use
+.\" by the caller.
+.\" Many functions that return pointers to static buffers offer reentrant
+.\" variants that store return values in caller-supplied buffers instead.
+.\" In some cases, such as
+.\" .BR tmpname (3),
+.\" the variant is chosen not by calling an alternate entry point,
+.\" but by passing a non-NULL pointer to the buffer in which the
+.\" returned values are to be stored.
+.\" These variants are generally preferable in multi-threaded programs,
+.\" although some of them are not MT-Safe because of other internal buffers,
+.\" also documented with
+.\" .I race
+.\" notes.
+.TP
+.I const
+Functions marked with
+.I const
+as an MT-Safety issue non-atomically
+modify internal objects that are better regarded as constant,
+because a substantial portion of the GNU C Library accesses them without
+synchronization.
+Unlike
+.IR race ,
+which causes both readers and
+writers of internal objects to be regarded as MT-Unsafe,\" and AS-Unsafe,
+this mark is applied to writers only.
+Writers remain\" equally
+MT-Unsafe\" and AS-Unsafe
+to call,
+but the then-mandatory constness of objects they
+modify enables readers to be regarded as MT-Safe\" and AS-Safe
+(as long as no other reasons for them to be unsafe remain),
+since the lack of synchronization is not a problem when the
+objects are effectively constant.
+.IP
+The identifier that follows the
+.I const
+mark will appear by itself as a safety note in readers.
+Programs that wish to work around this safety issue,
+so as to call writers, may use a non-recursive
+read-write lock
+associated with the identifier, and guard
+.I all
+calls to functions marked with
+.I const
+followed by the identifier with a write lock, and
+.I all
+calls to functions marked with the identifier
+by itself with a read lock.
+.\" The non-recursive locking removes the MT-Safety problem,
+.\" but it trades one AS-Safety problem for another,
+.\" so use in asynchronous signals remains undefined.
+.\"
+.\" .\" But what if, instead of marking modifiers with const:id and readers
+.\" .\" with just id, we marked writers with race:id and readers with ro:id?
+.\" .\" Instead of having to define each instance of 'id', we'd have a
+.\" .\" general pattern governing all such 'id's, wherein race:id would
+.\" .\" suggest the need for an exclusive/write lock to make the function
+.\" .\" safe, whereas ro:id would indicate 'id' is expected to be read-only,
+.\" .\" but if any modifiers are called (while holding an exclusive lock),
+.\" .\" then ro:id-marked functions ought to be guarded with a read lock for
+.\" .\" safe operation. ro:env or ro:locale, for example, seems to convey
+.\" .\" more clearly the expectations and the meaning, than just env or
+.\" .\" locale.
+.TP
+.I sig
+Functions marked with
+.I sig
+as a MT-Safety issue
+.\" (that implies an identical AS-Safety issue, omitted for brevity)
+may temporarily install a signal handler for internal purposes,
+which may interfere with other uses of the signal,
+identified after a colon.
+.IP
+This safety problem can be worked around by ensuring that no other uses
+of the signal will take place for the duration of the call.
+Holding a non-recursive mutex while calling all functions that use the same
+temporary signal;
+blocking that signal before the call and resetting its
+handler afterwards is recommended.
+.\"
+.\" There is no safe way to guarantee the original signal handler is

+.\"
+.\" .\" fixme: at least deferred cancelation should get it right, and would
+.\" .\" obviate the restoring bit below, and the qualifier above.
+.\"
+.\" Besides the measures recommended to work around the
+.\" MT-Safety and AS-Safety problem,
+.\" in order to avert the cancelation problem,
+.\" disabling asynchronous cancelation
+.\" .I and
+.\" installing a cleanup handler to restore the signal to the desired state
+.\" and to release the mutex are recommended.
+.TP
+.I term
+Functions marked with
+.I term
+as an MT-Safety issue may change the
+terminal settings in the recommended way, namely: call
+.BR tcgetattr (3),
+modify some flags, and then call
+.BR tcsetattr (3),
+this creates a window in which changes made by other threads are lost.
+Thus, functions marked with
+.I term
+are MT-Unsafe.
+.\" The same window enables changes made by asynchronous signals to be lost.
+.\" These functions are also AS-Unsafe,
+.\" but the corresponding mark is omitted as redundant.
+.IP
+It is thus advisable for applications using the terminal to avoid
+concurrent and reentrant interactions with it,
+by not using it in signal handlers or blocking signals that might use it,
+and holding a lock while calling these functions and interacting
+with the terminal.
+This lock should also be used for mutual exclusion with
+functions marked with
+.IR race:tcattr(fd) ,
+where
+.I fd
+is a file descriptor for the controlling terminal.
+The caller may use a single mutex for simplicity,
+or use one mutex per terminal,
+even if referenced by different file descriptors.

+.SS Other safety remarks
+Additional keywords may be attached to functions,
+indicating features that do not make a function unsafe to call,
+but that may need to be taken into account in certain classes of programs:
+.TP
+.I locale
+Functions annotated with
+.I locale
+as an MT-Safety issue read from
+the locale object without any form of synchronization.
+Functions
+annotated with
+.I locale
+called concurrently with locale changes may
+behave in ways that do not correspond to any of the locales active
+during their execution, but an unpredictable mix thereof.
+.IP
+We do not mark these functions as MT-Unsafe,\" or AS-Unsafe,
+however,
+because functions that modify the locale object are marked with
+.I const:locale
+and regarded as unsafe.
+Being unsafe, the latter are not to be called when multiple threads
+are running or asynchronous signals are enabled,
+and so the locale can be considered effectively constant
+in these contexts,
+which makes the former safe.
+.\" Should the locking strategy suggested under @code{const} be used,
+.\" failure to guard locale uses is not as fatal as data races in
+.\" general: unguarded uses will @emph{not} follow dangling pointers or
+.\" access uninitialized, unmapped or recycled memory. Each access will
+.\" read from a consistent locale object that is or was active at some
+.\" point during its execution. Without synchronization, however, it
+.\" cannot even be assumed that, after a change in locale, earlier
+.\" locales will no longer be used, even after the newly-chosen one is
+.\" used in the thread. Nevertheless, even though unguarded reads from
+.\" the locale will not violate type safety, functions that access the
+.\" locale multiple times may invoke all sorts of undefined behavior
+.\" because of the unexpected locale changes.
+.TP
+.I env
+Functions marked with
+.I env
+as an MT-Safety issue access the
+environment with
+.BR getenv (3)
+or similar, without any guards to ensure
+safety in the presence of concurrent modifications.
+.IP
+We do not mark these functions as MT-Unsafe,\" or AS-Unsafe,
+however,
+because functions that modify the environment are all marked with
+.I const:env
+and regarded as unsafe.
+Being unsafe, the latter are not to be called when multiple threads
+are running or asynchronous signals are enabled,
+and so the environment can be considered
+effectively constant in these contexts,
+which makes the former safe.
+.TP
+.I hostid
+The function marked with
+.I hostid
+as an MT-Safety issue reads from the system-wide data structures that
+hold the "host ID" of the machine.
+These data structures cannot generally be modified atomically.
+Since it is expected that the "host ID" will not normally change,
+the function that reads from it
+.RB ( gethostid (3))
+is regarded as safe,
+whereas the function that modifies it
+.RB ( sethostid (3))
+is marked with
+.IR const:hostid ,
+indicating it may require special care if it is to be called.
+In this specific case,
+the special care amounts to system-wide
+(not merely intra-process) coordination.
+.TP
+.I sigintr
+Functions marked with
+.I sigintr
+as an MT-Safety issue access the
+GNU C Library
+.I _sigintr
+internal data structure without any guards to ensure
+safety in the presence of concurrent modifications.
+.IP
+We do not mark these functions as MT-Unsafe,\" or AS-Unsafe,
+however,
+because functions that modify this data structure are all marked with
+.I const:sigintr
+and regarded as unsafe.
+Being unsafe,
+the latter are not to be called when multiple threads are
+running or asynchronous signals are enabled,

+It is envisioned that it may be applied to

+and

+as well in the future.

+In most cases, the identifier will name a set of functions,

+to denote the terminal attributes of a file descriptor
+.IR fd .
+.IP
+The most common use for identifiers is to provide logical groups of
+functions and arguments that need to be protected by the same
+synchronization primitive in order to ensure safe operation in a given
+context.
+.TP
+.I /condition
+Some safety annotations may be conditional,
+in that they only apply if a boolean expression involving arguments,
+global variables or even the underlying kernel evaluates to true.
+.\" Such conditions as

+.SH NAME
+boot \- System bootup process based on UNIX System V Release 4
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fBbootup process\fR (or "\fBboot sequence\fR") varies in details
+among systems, but can be roughly divided into phases controlled by
+the following components:
+.IP (1) 5
+hardware
+.IP (2)
+operating system (OS) loader
+.IP (3)
+kernel
+.IP (4)
+root user-space process (\fIinit\fR and \fIinittab\fR)
+.IP (5)
+boot scripts
+.PP
+Each of these is described below in more detail.
+.SS Hardware
+After power-on or hard reset, control is given
+to a program stored in read-only memory (normally
+PROM); for historical reasons involving the personal
+computer, this program is often called "the \fBBIOS\fR".
+.PP
+This program normally performs a basic self-test of the
+machine and accesses nonvolatile memory to read
+further parameters.
+This memory in the PC is
+battery-backed CMOS memory, so most people
+refer to it as "the \fBCMOS\fR"; outside
+of the PC world, it is usually called "the \fBNVRAM\fR"
+(nonvolatile RAM).
+.PP
+The parameters stored in the NVRAM vary among
+systems, but as a minimum, they should specify
+which device can supply an OS loader, or at least which
+devices may be probed for one; such a device is known as "the
+\fBboot device\fR".
+The hardware boot stage loads the OS loader from a fixed position on
+the boot device, and then transfers control to it.
+.TP
+Note:
+The device from which the OS loader is read may be attached via a network,
+in which case the details of booting are further specified by protocols such as
+DHCP, TFTP, PXE, Etherboot, etc.
+.SS OS loader
+The main job of the OS loader is to locate the kernel
+on some device, load it, and run it.
+Most OS loaders allow
+interactive use, in order to enable specification of an alternative
+kernel (maybe a backup in case the one last compiled
+isn't functioning) and to pass optional parameters
+to the kernel.
+.PP
+In a traditional PC, the OS loader is located in the initial 512-byte block
+of the boot device; this block is known as "the \fBMBR\fR"
+(Master Boot Record).
+.PP
+In most systems, the OS loader is very
+limited due to various constraints.
+Even on non-PC systems,
+there are some limitations on the size and complexity
+of this loader, but the size limitation of the PC MBR
+(512 bytes, including the partition table) makes it
+almost impossible to squeeze much functionality into it.
+.PP
+Therefore, most systems split the role of loading the OS between
+a primary OS loader and a secondary OS loader; this secondary
+OS loader may be located within a larger portion of persistent
+storage, such as a disk partition.
+.PP
+In Linux, the OS loader is often
+.BR grub (8)
+(an alternative is
+.BR lilo (8)).
+.SS Kernel
+When the kernel is loaded, it initializes various components of
+the computer and operating system; each portion of software
+responsible for such a task is usually consider "a \fBdriver\fR" for
+the applicable component.
+The kernel starts the virtual memory
+swapper (it is a kernel process, called "kswapd" in a modern Linux
+kernel), and mounts some filesystem at the root path,
+.IR / .
+.PP
+Some of the parameters that may be passed to the kernel
+relate to these activities (for example, the default root filesystem
+can be overridden); for further information
+on Linux kernel parameters, read
+.BR bootparam (7).
+.PP
+Only then does the kernel create the initial userland
+process, which is given the number 1 as its
+.B PID
+(process ID).
+Traditionally, this process executes the
+program
+.IR /sbin/init ,
+to which are passed the parameters that haven't already been
+handled by the kernel.
+.SS Root user-space process
+.TP
+Note:
+The following description applies to an OS based on UNIX System V Release 4.
+However, a number of widely used systems have adopted a related but
+fundamentally different approach known as
+.BR systemd (1),
+for which the bootup process is detailed in its associated
+.BR bootup (7).
+.PP
+When
+.I /sbin/init
+starts, it reads
+.I /etc/inittab
+for further instructions.
+This file defines what should be run when the
+.I /sbin/init
+program is instructed to enter a particular run level, giving
+the administrator an easy way to establish an environment
+for some usage; each run level is associated with a set of services
+(for example, run level
+.B S
+is single-user mode,
+and run level
+.B 2
+entails running most network services).
+.PP
+The administrator may change the current run level via
+.BR init (1),
+and query the current run level via
+.BR runlevel (8).
+.PP
+However, since it is not convenient to manage individual services
+by editing this file,
+.I /etc/inittab
+only bootstraps a set of scripts
+that actually start/stop the individual services.
+.SS Boot scripts
+.TP
+Note:
+The following description applies to an OS based on UNIX System V Release 4.
+However, a number of widely used systems (Slackware Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD)
+have a somewhat different scheme for boot scripts.
+.PP
+For each managed service (mail, nfs server, cron, etc.), there is
+a single startup script located in a specific directory
+.RI ( /etc/init.d
+in most versions of Linux).
+Each of these scripts accepts as a single argument
+the word "start" (causing it to start the service) or the word
+\&"stop" (causing it to stop the service).
+The script may optionally
+accept other "convenience" parameters (e.g., "restart" to stop and then
+start, "status" to display the service status, etc.).
+Running the script
+without parameters displays the possible arguments.
+.SS Sequencing directories
+To make specific scripts start/stop at specific run levels and in a
+specific order, there are \fIsequencing directories\fR, normally
+of the form \fI/etc/rc[0\-6S].d\fR.
+In each of these directories,
+there are links (usually symbolic) to the scripts in the \fI/etc/init.d\fR
+directory.
+.PP
+A primary script (usually \fI/etc/rc\fR) is called from
+.BR inittab (5);
+this primary script calls each service's script via a link in the
+relevant sequencing directory.
+Each link whose name begins with \[aq]S\[aq] is called with
+the argument "start" (thereby starting the service).
+Each link whose name begins with \[aq]K\[aq] is called with
+the argument "stop" (thereby stopping the service).
+.PP
+To define the starting or stopping order within the same run level,
+the name of a link contains an \fBorder-number\fR.
+Also, for clarity, the name of a link usually
+ends with the name of the service to which it refers.
+For example,
+the link \fI/etc/rc2.d/S80sendmail\fR starts the
+.BR sendmail (8)
+service on
+run level 2.
+This happens after \fI/etc/rc2.d/S12syslog\fR is run
+but before \fI/etc/rc2.d/S90xfs\fR is run.
+.PP
+To manage these links is to manage the boot order and run levels;
+under many systems, there are tools to help with this task
+(e.g.,
+.BR chkconfig (8)).
+.SS Boot configuration
+A program that provides a service is often called a "\fBdaemon\fR".
+Usually, a daemon may receive various command-line options
+and parameters.
+To allow a system administrator to change these
+inputs without editing an entire boot script,
+some separate configuration file is used, and is located in a specific
+directory where an associated boot script may find it
+(\fI/etc/sysconfig\fR on older Red Hat systems).
+.PP
+In older UNIX systems, such a file contained the actual command line
+options for a daemon, but in modern Linux systems (and also
+in HP-UX), it just contains shell variables.
+A boot script in \fI/etc/init.d\fR reads and includes its configuration
+file (that is, it "\fBsources\fR" its configuration file) and then uses
+the variable values.

+.TH bootparam 7 2023-02-05 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+bootparam \- introduction to boot time parameters of the Linux kernel
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The Linux kernel accepts certain 'command-line options' or 'boot time
+parameters' at the moment it is started.
+In general, this is used to
+supply the kernel with information about hardware parameters that
+the kernel would not be able to determine on its own, or to avoid/override
+the values that the kernel would otherwise detect.
+.PP
+When the kernel is booted directly by the BIOS,
+you have no opportunity to specify any parameters.
+So, in order to take advantage of this possibility you have to
+use a boot loader that is able to pass parameters, such as GRUB.
+.SS The argument list
+The kernel command line is parsed into a list of strings
+(boot arguments) separated by spaces.
+Most of the boot arguments have the form:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+name[=value_1][,value_2]...[,value_10]
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+where 'name' is a unique keyword that is used to identify what part of
+the kernel the associated values (if any) are to be given to.
+Note the limit of 10 is real, as the present code handles only 10 comma
+separated parameters per keyword.
+(However, you can reuse the same
+keyword with up to an additional 10 parameters in unusually
+complicated situations, assuming the setup function supports it.)
+.PP
+Most of the sorting is coded in the kernel source file
+.IR init/main.c .
+First, the kernel
+checks to see if the argument is any of the special arguments 'root=',
+\&'nfsroot=', 'nfsaddrs=', 'ro', 'rw', 'debug', or 'init'.
+The meaning of these special arguments is described below.
+.PP
+Then it walks a list of setup functions
+to see if the specified argument string (such as 'foo') has
+been associated with a setup function ('foo_setup()') for a particular
+device or part of the kernel.
+If you passed the kernel the line
+foo=3,4,5,6 then the kernel would search the bootsetups array to see
+if 'foo' was registered.
+If it was, then it would call the setup
+function associated with 'foo' (foo_setup()) and hand it the arguments
+3, 4, 5, and 6 as given on the kernel command line.
+.PP
+Anything of the form 'foo=bar' that is not accepted as a setup function
+as described above is then interpreted as an environment variable to
+be set.
+A (useless?) example would be to use 'TERM=vt100' as a boot
+argument.
+.PP
+Any remaining arguments that were not picked up by the kernel and were
+not interpreted as environment variables are then passed onto PID 1,
+which is usually the
+.BR init (1)
+program.
+The most common argument that
+is passed to the
+.I init
+process is the word 'single' which instructs it
+to boot the computer in single user mode, and not launch all the usual
+daemons.
+Check the manual page for the version of
+.BR init (1)
+installed on
+your system to see what arguments it accepts.
+.SS General non-device-specific boot arguments
+.TP
+.B "'init=...'"
+This sets the initial command to be executed by the kernel.
+If this is not set, or cannot be found, the kernel will try
+.IR /sbin/init ,
+then
+.IR /etc/init ,
+then
+.IR /bin/init ,
+then
+.I /bin/sh
+and panic if all of this fails.
+.TP
+.B "'nfsaddrs=...'"
+This sets the NFS boot address to the given string.
+This boot address is used in case of a net boot.
+.TP
+.B "'nfsroot=...'"
+This sets the NFS root name to the given string.
+If this string
+does not begin with '/' or ',' or a digit, then it is prefixed by
+\&'/tftpboot/'.
+This root name is used in case of a net boot.
+.TP
+.B "'root=...'"
+This argument tells the kernel what device is to be used as the root
+filesystem while booting.
+The default of this setting is determined
+at compile time, and usually is the value of the root device of the
+system that the kernel was built on.
+To override this value, and
+select the second floppy drive as the root device, one would
+use 'root=/dev/fd1'.
+.IP
+The root device can be specified symbolically or numerically.
+A symbolic specification has the form
+.IR /dev/XXYN ,
+where XX designates
+the device type (e.g., 'hd' for ST-506 compatible hard disk, with Y in
+\&'a'\[en]'d'; 'sd' for SCSI compatible disk, with Y in 'a'\[en]'e'),
+Y the driver letter or
+number, and N the number (in decimal) of the partition on this device.
+.IP
+Note that this has nothing to do with the designation of these
+devices on your filesystem.
+The '/dev/' part is purely conventional.
+.IP
+The more awkward and less portable numeric specification of the above
+possible root devices in major/minor format is also accepted.
+(For example,
+.I /dev/sda3
+is major 8, minor 3, so you could use 'root=0x803' as an
+alternative.)
+.TP
+.B 'rootdelay='
+This parameter sets the delay (in seconds) to pause before attempting
+to mount the root filesystem.
+.TP
+.B 'rootflags=...'
+This parameter sets the mount option string for the root filesystem
+(see also
+.BR fstab (5)).
+.TP
+.B 'rootfstype=...'
+The 'rootfstype' option tells the kernel to mount the root filesystem as
+if it where of the type specified.
+This can be useful (for example) to
+mount an ext3 filesystem as ext2 and then remove the journal in the root
+filesystem, in fact reverting its format from ext3 to ext2 without the
+need to boot the box from alternate media.
+.TP
+.BR 'ro' " and " 'rw'
+The 'ro' option tells the kernel to mount the root filesystem
+as 'read-only' so that filesystem consistency check programs (fsck)
+can do their work on a quiescent filesystem.
+No processes can
+write to files on the filesystem in question until it is 'remounted'
+as read/write capable, for example, by 'mount \-w \-n \-o remount /'.
+(See also
+.BR mount (8).)
+.IP
+The 'rw' option tells the kernel to mount the root filesystem read/write.
+This is the default.
+.TP
+.B "'resume=...'"
+This tells the kernel the location of
+the suspend-to-disk data that you want the machine to resume from
+after hibernation.
+Usually, it is the same as your swap partition or file.
+Example:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+resume=/dev/hda2
+.EE
+.in
+.TP
+.B "'reserve=...'"
+This is used to protect I/O port regions from probes.
+The form of the command is:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+.BI reserve= iobase,extent[,iobase,extent]...
+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+In some machines it may be necessary to prevent device drivers from
+checking for devices (auto-probing) in a specific region.
+This may be
+because of hardware that reacts badly to the probing, or hardware
+that would be mistakenly identified, or merely
+hardware you don't want the kernel to initialize.
+.IP
+The reserve boot-time argument specifies an I/O port region that
+shouldn't be probed.
+A device driver will not probe a reserved region,
+unless another boot argument explicitly specifies that it do so.
+.IP
+For example, the boot line
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+reserve=0x300,32 blah=0x300
+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+keeps all device drivers except the driver for 'blah' from probing
+0x300\-0x31f.
+.TP
+.B "'panic=N'"
+By default, the kernel will not reboot after a panic, but this option
+will cause a kernel reboot after N seconds (if N is greater than zero).
+This panic timeout can also be set by
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+echo N > /proc/sys/kernel/panic
+.EE
+.in
+.TP
+.B "'reboot=[warm|cold][,[bios|hard]]'"
+Since Linux 2.0.22, a reboot is by default a cold reboot.
+One asks for the old default with 'reboot=warm'.
+(A cold reboot may be required to reset certain hardware,
+but might destroy not yet written data in a disk cache.
+A warm reboot may be faster.)
+By default, a reboot is hard, by asking the keyboard controller
+to pulse the reset line low, but there is at least one type
+of motherboard where that doesn't work.
+The option 'reboot=bios' will
+instead jump through the BIOS.
+.TP
+.BR 'nosmp' " and " 'maxcpus=N'
+(Only when __SMP__ is defined.)
+A command-line option of 'nosmp' or 'maxcpus=0' will disable SMP
+activation entirely; an option 'maxcpus=N' limits the maximum number
+of CPUs activated in SMP mode to N.
+.SS Boot arguments for use by kernel developers
+.TP
+.B "'debug'"
+Kernel messages are handed off to a daemon (e.g.,
+.BR klogd (8)
+or similar) so that they may be logged to disk.
+Messages with a priority above
+.I console_loglevel
+are also printed on the console.
+(For a discussion of log levels, see
+.BR syslog (2).)
+By default,
+.I console_loglevel
+is set to log messages at levels higher than
+.BR KERN_DEBUG .
+This boot argument will cause the kernel to also
+print messages logged at level
+.BR KERN_DEBUG .
+The console loglevel can also be set on a booted system via the
+.I /proc/sys/kernel/printk
+file (described in
+.BR syslog (2)),
+the
+.BR syslog (2)
+.B SYSLOG_ACTION_CONSOLE_LEVEL
+operation, or
+.BR dmesg (8).
+.TP
+.B "'profile=N'"
+It is possible to enable a kernel profiling function,
+if one wishes to find out where the kernel is spending its CPU cycles.
+Profiling is enabled by setting the variable
+.I prof_shift
+to a nonzero value.
+This is done either by specifying
+.B CONFIG_PROFILE
+at compile time, or by giving the 'profile=' option.
+Now the value that
+.I prof_shift
+gets will be N, when given, or
+.BR CONFIG_PROFILE_SHIFT ,
+when that is given, or 2, the default.
+The significance of this variable is that it
+gives the granularity of the profiling: each clock tick, if the
+system was executing kernel code, a counter is incremented:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+profile[address >> prof_shift]++;
+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+The raw profiling information can be read from
+.IR /proc/profile .
+Probably you'll want to use a tool such as readprofile.c to digest it.
+Writing to
+.I /proc/profile
+will clear the counters.
+.SS Boot arguments for ramdisk use
+(Only if the kernel was compiled with
+.BR CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM .)
+In general it is a bad idea to use a ramdisk under Linux\[em]the
+system will use available memory more efficiently itself.
+But while booting,
+it is often useful to load the floppy contents into a
+ramdisk.
+One might also have a system in which first
+some modules (for filesystem or hardware) must be loaded
+before the main disk can be accessed.
+.IP
+In Linux 1.3.48, ramdisk handling was changed drastically.
+Earlier, the memory was allocated statically, and there was
+a 'ramdisk=N' parameter to tell its size.
+(This could also be set in the kernel image at compile time.)
+These days ram disks use the buffer cache, and grow dynamically.
+For a lot of information on the current ramdisk
+setup, see the kernel source file
+.I Documentation/blockdev/ramdisk.txt
+.RI ( Documentation/ramdisk.txt
+in older kernels).
+.IP
+There are four parameters, two boolean and two integral.
+.TP
+.B "'load_ramdisk=N'"
+If N=1, do load a ramdisk.
+If N=0, do not load a ramdisk.
+(This is the default.)
+.TP
+.B "'prompt_ramdisk=N'"
+If N=1, do prompt for insertion of the floppy.
+(This is the default.)
+If N=0, do not prompt.
+(Thus, this parameter is never needed.)
+.TP
+.BR 'ramdisk_size=N' " or (obsolete) " 'ramdisk=N'
+Set the maximal size of the ramdisk(s) to N kB.
+The default is 4096 (4\ MB).
+.TP
+.B "'ramdisk_start=N'"
+Sets the starting block number (the offset on the floppy where
+the ramdisk starts) to N.
+This is needed in case the ramdisk follows a kernel image.
+.TP
+.B "'noinitrd'"
+(Only if the kernel was compiled with
+.B CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM
+and
+.BR CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD .)
+These days it is possible to compile the kernel to use initrd.
+When this feature is enabled, the boot process will load the kernel
+and an initial ramdisk; then the kernel converts initrd into
+a "normal" ramdisk, which is mounted read-write as root device;
+then
+.I /linuxrc
+is executed; afterward the "real" root filesystem is mounted,
+and the initrd filesystem is moved over to
+.IR /initrd ;
+finally
+the usual boot sequence (e.g., invocation of
+.IR /sbin/init )
+is performed.
+.IP
+For a detailed description of the initrd feature, see the kernel source file
+.I Documentation/admin\-guide/initrd.rst
+.\" commit 9d85025b0418163fae079c9ba8f8445212de8568
+(or
+.I Documentation/initrd.txt
+before Linux 4.10).
+.IP
+The 'noinitrd' option tells the kernel that although it was compiled for
+operation with initrd, it should not go through the above steps, but
+leave the initrd data under
+.IR /dev/initrd .
+(This device can be used only once: the data is freed as soon as
+the last process that used it has closed
+.IR /dev/initrd .)
+.SS Boot arguments for SCSI devices
+General notation for this section:
+.PP
+.I iobase
+-- the first I/O port that the SCSI host occupies.
+These are specified in hexadecimal notation,
+and usually lie in the range from 0x200 to 0x3ff.
+.PP
+.I irq
+-- the hardware interrupt that the card is configured to use.
+Valid values will be dependent on the card in question, but will
+usually be 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 15.
+The other values are usually
+used for common peripherals like IDE hard disks, floppies, serial
+ports, and so on.
+.PP
+.I scsi\-id
+-- the ID that the host adapter uses to identify itself on the
+SCSI bus.
+Only some host adapters allow you to change this value, as
+most have it permanently specified internally.
+The usual default value
+is 7, but the Seagate and Future Domain TMC-950 boards use 6.
+.PP
+.I parity
+-- whether the SCSI host adapter expects the attached devices
+to supply a parity value with all information exchanges.
+Specifying a one indicates parity checking is enabled,
+and a zero disables parity checking.
+Again, not all adapters will support selection of parity
+behavior as a boot argument.
+.TP
+.B "'max_scsi_luns=...'"
+A SCSI device can have a number of 'subdevices' contained within
+itself.
+The most common example is one of the new SCSI CD-ROMs that
+handle more than one disk at a time.
+Each CD is addressed as a
+\&'Logical Unit Number' (LUN) of that particular device.
+But most
+devices, such as hard disks, tape drives, and such are only one device,
+and will be assigned to LUN zero.
+.IP
+Some poorly designed SCSI devices cannot handle being probed for
+LUNs not equal to zero.
+Therefore, if the compile-time flag
+.B CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN
+is not set, newer kernels will by default probe only LUN zero.
+.IP
+To specify the number of probed LUNs at boot, one enters
+\&'max_scsi_luns=n' as a boot arg, where n is a number between one and
+eight.
+To avoid problems as described above, one would use n=1 to
+avoid upsetting such broken devices.
+.TP
+.B "SCSI tape configuration"
+Some boot time configuration of the SCSI tape driver can be achieved
+by using the following:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+.BI st= buf_size[,write_threshold[,max_bufs]]
+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+The first two numbers are specified in units of kB.
+The default
+.I buf_size
+is 32k\ B, and the maximum size that can be specified is a
+ridiculous 16384\ kB.
+The
+.I write_threshold
+is the value at which the buffer is committed to tape, with a
+default value of 30\ kB.
+The maximum number of buffers varies
+with the number of drives detected, and has a default of two.
+An example usage would be:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+st=32,30,2
+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+Full details can be found in the file
+.I Documentation/scsi/st.txt
+(or
+.I drivers/scsi/README.st
+for older kernels) in the Linux kernel source.
+.SS Hard disks
+.TP
+.B "IDE Disk/CD-ROM Driver Parameters"
+The IDE driver accepts a number of parameters, which range from disk
+geometry specifications, to support for broken controller chips.
+Drive-specific options are specified by using 'hdX=' with X in 'a'\[en]'h'.
+.IP
+Non-drive-specific options are specified with the prefix 'hd='.
+Note that using a drive-specific prefix for a non-drive-specific option
+will still work, and the option will just be applied as expected.
+.IP
+Also note that 'hd=' can be used to refer to the next unspecified
+drive in the (a, ..., h) sequence.
+For the following discussions,
+the 'hd=' option will be cited for brevity.
+See the file
+.I Documentation/ide/ide.txt
+(or
+.I Documentation/ide.txt
+.\" Linux 2.0, 2.2, 2.4
+in older kernels, or
+.I drivers/block/README.ide
+in ancient kernels) in the Linux kernel source for more details.
+.TP
+.B "The 'hd=cyls,heads,sects[,wpcom[,irq]]' options"
+These options are used to specify the physical geometry of the disk.
+Only the first three values are required.
+The cylinder/head/sectors
+values will be those used by fdisk.
+The write precompensation value
+is ignored for IDE disks.
+The IRQ value specified will be the IRQ
+used for the interface that the drive resides on, and is not really a
+drive-specific parameter.
+.TP
+.B "The 'hd=serialize' option"
+The dual IDE interface CMD-640 chip is broken as designed such that
+when drives on the secondary interface are used at the same time as
+drives on the primary interface, it will corrupt your data.
+Using this
+option tells the driver to make sure that both interfaces are never
+used at the same time.
+.TP
+.B "The 'hd=noprobe' option"
+Do not probe for this drive.
+For example,
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+hdb=noprobe hdb=1166,7,17
+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+would disable the probe, but still specify the drive geometry so
+that it would be registered as a valid block device, and hence
+usable.
+.TP
+.B "The 'hd=nowerr' option"
+Some drives apparently have the
+.B WRERR_STAT
+bit stuck on permanently.
+This enables a work-around for these broken devices.
+.TP
+.B "The 'hd=cdrom' option"
+This tells the IDE driver that there is an ATAPI compatible CD-ROM
+attached in place of a normal IDE hard disk.
+In most cases the CD-ROM
+is identified automatically, but if it isn't then this may help.
+.TP
+.B "Standard ST-506 Disk Driver Options ('hd=')"
+The standard disk driver can accept geometry arguments for the disks
+similar to the IDE driver.
+Note however that it expects only three
+values (C/H/S); any more or any less and it will silently ignore you.
+Also, it accepts only 'hd=' as an argument, that is, 'hda='
+and so on are not valid here.
+The format is as follows:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+hd=cyls,heads,sects
+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+If there are two disks installed, the above is repeated with the
+geometry parameters of the second disk.
+.SS Ethernet devices
+Different drivers make use of different parameters, but they all at
+least share having an IRQ, an I/O port base value, and a name.
+In its most generic form, it looks something like this:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+ether=irq,iobase[,param_1[,...param_8]],name
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+The first nonnumeric argument is taken as the name.
+The param_n values (if applicable) usually have different meanings for each
+different card/driver.
+Typical param_n values are used to specify
+things like shared memory address, interface selection, DMA channel
+and the like.
+.PP
+The most common use of this parameter is to force probing for a second
+ethercard, as the default is to probe only for one.
+This can be accomplished with a simple:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+ether=0,0,eth1
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+Note that the values of zero for the IRQ and I/O base in the above
+example tell the driver(s) to autoprobe.
+.PP
+The Ethernet-HowTo has extensive documentation on using multiple
+cards and on the card/driver-specific implementation
+of the param_n values where used.
+Interested readers should refer to
+the section in that document on their particular card.
+.SS The floppy disk driver
+There are many floppy driver options, and they are all listed in
+.I Documentation/blockdev/floppy.txt
+(or
+.I Documentation/floppy.txt
+in older kernels, or
+.I drivers/block/README.fd
+for ancient kernels) in the Linux kernel source.
+See that file for the details.
+.SS The sound driver
+The sound driver can also accept boot arguments to override the compiled-in
+values.
+This is not recommended, as it is rather complex.
+It is described in the Linux kernel source file
+.I Documentation/sound/oss/README.OSS
+.RI ( drivers/sound/Readme.linux
+in older kernel versions).
+It accepts
+a boot argument of the form:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+sound=device1[,device2[,device3...[,device10]]]
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+where each deviceN value is of the following format 0xTaaaId and the
+bytes are used as follows:
+.PP
+T \- device type: 1=FM, 2=SB, 3=PAS, 4=GUS, 5=MPU401, 6=SB16,
+7=SB16-MPU401
+.PP
+aaa \- I/O address in hex.
+.PP
+I \- interrupt line in hex (i.e., 10=a, 11=b, ...)
+.PP
+d \- DMA channel.
+.PP
+As you can see, it gets pretty messy, and you are better off to compile
+in your own personal values as recommended.
+Using a boot argument of
+\&'sound=0' will disable the sound driver entirely.
+.SS The line printer driver
+.TP
+.B "'lp='"
+.br
+Syntax:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+lp=0
+lp=auto
+lp=reset
+lp=port[,port...]
+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+You can tell the printer driver what ports to use and what ports not
+to use.
+The latter comes in handy if you don't want the printer driver
+to claim all available parallel ports, so that other drivers
+(e.g., PLIP, PPA) can use them instead.
+.IP
+The format of the argument is multiple port names.
+For example,
+lp=none,parport0 would use the first parallel port for lp1, and
+disable lp0.
+To disable the printer driver entirely, one can use
+lp=0.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+The extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) subsystem consists in programs
+written in a pseudo\-assembly language, then attached to one of the several
+kernel hooks and run in reaction of specific events. This framework differs
+from the older, \(dqclassic\(dq BPF (or \(dqcBPF\(dq) in several aspects, one of them being
+the ability to call special functions (or \(dqhelpers\(dq) from within a program.
+These functions are restricted to a white\-list of helpers defined in the
+kernel.
+.sp
+These helpers are used by eBPF programs to interact with the system, or with
+the context in which they work. For instance, they can be used to print
+debugging messages, to get the time since the system was booted, to interact
+with eBPF maps, or to manipulate network packets. Since there are several eBPF
+program types, and that they do not run in the same context, each program type
+can only call a subset of those helpers.
+.sp
+Due to eBPF conventions, a helper can not have more than five arguments.
+.sp
+Internally, eBPF programs call directly into the compiled helper functions
+without requiring any foreign\-function interface. As a result, calling helpers
+introduces no overhead, thus offering excellent performance.
+.sp
+This document is an attempt to list and document the helpers available to eBPF
+developers. They are sorted by chronological order (the oldest helpers in the
+kernel at the top).

+.INDENT 7.0
+.TP
+.B Description
+This helper is a \(dqprintk()\-like\(dq facility for debugging. It
+prints a message defined by format \fIfmt\fP (of size \fIfmt_size\fP)
+to file \fI/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace\fP from DebugFS, if
+available. It can take up to three additional \fBu64\fP
+arguments (as an eBPF helpers, the total number of arguments is
+limited to five).
+.sp
+Each time the helper is called, it appends a line to the trace.
+Lines are discarded while \fI/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace\fP is
+open, use \fI/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe\fP to avoid this.
+The format of the trace is customizable, and the exact output
+one will get depends on the options set in
+\fI/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_options\fP (see also the
+\fIREADME\fP file under the same directory). However, it usually
+defaults to something like:
+.INDENT 7.0
+.INDENT 3.5
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft C
+telnet\-470 [001] .N.. 419421.045894: 0x00000001: <fmt>

+.INDENT 3.5
+.INDENT 0.0
+.IP \(bu 2
+\fBtelnet\fP is the name of the current task.
+.IP \(bu 2
+\fB470\fP is the PID of the current task.
+.IP \(bu 2
+\fB001\fP is the CPU number on which the task is
+running.
+.IP \(bu 2
+In \fB\&.N..\fP, each character refers to a set of
+options (whether irqs are enabled, scheduling
+options, whether hard/softirqs are running, level of
+preempt_disabled respectively). \fBN\fP means that
+\fBTIF_NEED_RESCHED\fP and \fBPREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED\fP
+are set.
+.IP \(bu 2
+\fB419421.045894\fP is a timestamp.
+.IP \(bu 2
+\fB0x00000001\fP is a fake value used by BPF for the
+instruction pointer register.
+.IP \(bu 2
+\fB<fmt>\fP is the message formatted with \fIfmt\fP\&.
+.UNINDENT
+.UNINDENT
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+The conversion specifiers supported by \fIfmt\fP are similar, but
+more limited than for printk(). They are \fB%d\fP, \fB%i\fP,
+\fB%u\fP, \fB%x\fP, \fB%ld\fP, \fB%li\fP, \fB%lu\fP, \fB%lx\fP, \fB%lld\fP,

+encounters an unknown specifier.
+.sp
+Also, note that \fBbpf_trace_printk\fP() is slow, and should
+only be used for debugging purposes. For this reason, a notice
+block (spanning several lines) is printed to kernel logs and
+states that the helper should not be used \(dqfor production use\(dq
+the first time this helper is used (or more precisely, when
+\fBtrace_printk\fP() buffers are allocated). For passing values
+to user space, perf events should be preferred.
+.TP

+.TP
+.B \fBu32 bpf_get_prandom_u32(void)\fP
+.INDENT 7.0
+.TP
+.B Description
+Get a pseudo\-random number.
+.sp
+From a security point of view, this helper uses its own
+pseudo\-random internal state, and cannot be used to infer the
+seed of other random functions in the kernel. However, it is
+essential to note that the generator used by the helper is not
+cryptographically secure.
+.TP
+.B Return
+A random 32\-bit unsigned value.

+.INDENT 7.0
+.TP
+.B Description
+Store \fIlen\fP bytes from address \fIfrom\fP into the packet
+associated to \fIskb\fP, at \fIoffset\fP\&. \fIflags\fP are a combination of
+\fBBPF_F_RECOMPUTE_CSUM\fP (automatically recompute the
+checksum for the packet after storing the bytes) and
+\fBBPF_F_INVALIDATE_HASH\fP (set \fIskb\fP\fB\->hash\fP, \fIskb\fP\fB\->swhash\fP and \fIskb\fP\fB\->l4hash\fP to 0).
+.sp
+A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlying
+packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+direct packet access.
+.TP

+.B \fBlong bpf_l3_csum_replace(struct sk_buff *\fP\fIskb\fP\fB, u32\fP \fIoffset\fP\fB, u64\fP \fIfrom\fP\fB, u64\fP \fIto\fP\fB, u64\fP \fIsize\fP\fB)\fP
+.INDENT 7.0
+.TP
+.B Description
+Recompute the layer 3 (e.g. IP) checksum for the packet
+associated to \fIskb\fP\&. Computation is incremental, so the helper
+must know the former value of the header field that was
+modified (\fIfrom\fP), the new value of this field (\fIto\fP), and the
+number of bytes (2 or 4) for this field, stored in \fIsize\fP\&.
+Alternatively, it is possible to store the difference between
+the previous and the new values of the header field in \fIto\fP, by
+setting \fIfrom\fP and \fIsize\fP to 0. For both methods, \fIoffset\fP
+indicates the location of the IP checksum within the packet.
+.sp
+This helper works in combination with \fBbpf_csum_diff\fP(),
+which does not update the checksum in\-place, but offers more
+flexibility and can handle sizes larger than 2 or 4 for the
+checksum to update.

+.INDENT 7.0
+.TP
+.B Description
+Recompute the layer 4 (e.g. TCP, UDP or ICMP) checksum for the
+packet associated to \fIskb\fP\&. Computation is incremental, so the
+helper must know the former value of the header field that was
+modified (\fIfrom\fP), the new value of this field (\fIto\fP), and the
+number of bytes (2 or 4) for this field, stored on the lowest
+four bits of \fIflags\fP\&. Alternatively, it is possible to store
+the difference between the previous and the new values of the
+header field in \fIto\fP, by setting \fIfrom\fP and the four lowest
+bits of \fIflags\fP to 0. For both methods, \fIoffset\fP indicates the
+location of the IP checksum within the packet. In addition to
+the size of the field, \fIflags\fP can be added (bitwise OR) actual
+flags. With \fBBPF_F_MARK_MANGLED_0\fP, a null checksum is left
+untouched (unless \fBBPF_F_MARK_ENFORCE\fP is added as well), and
+for updates resulting in a null checksum the value is set to
+\fBCSUM_MANGLED_0\fP instead. Flag \fBBPF_F_PSEUDO_HDR\fP indicates
+the checksum is to be computed against a pseudo\-header.
+.sp
+This helper works in combination with \fBbpf_csum_diff\fP(),
+which does not update the checksum in\-place, but offers more
+flexibility and can handle sizes larger than 2 or 4 for the
+checksum to update.
+.sp
+A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlying
+packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be

+.TP
+.B \fBlong bpf_tail_call(void *\fP\fIctx\fP\fB, struct bpf_map *\fP\fIprog_array_map\fP\fB, u32\fP \fIindex\fP\fB)\fP
+.INDENT 7.0
+.TP
+.B Description
+This special helper is used to trigger a \(dqtail call\(dq, or in
+other words, to jump into another eBPF program. The same stack
+frame is used (but values on stack and in registers for the
+caller are not accessible to the callee). This mechanism allows
+for program chaining, either for raising the maximum number of
+available eBPF instructions, or to execute given programs in
+conditional blocks. For security reasons, there is an upper
+limit to the number of successive tail calls that can be
+performed.
+.sp
+Upon call of this helper, the program attempts to jump into a
+program referenced at index \fIindex\fP in \fIprog_array_map\fP, a
+special map of type \fBBPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY\fP, and passes
+\fIctx\fP, a pointer to the context.
+.sp
+If the call succeeds, the kernel immediately runs the first
+instruction of the new program. This is not a function call,
+and it never returns to the previous program. If the call
+fails, then the helper has no effect, and the caller continues
+to run its subsequent instructions. A call can fail if the
+destination program for the jump does not exist (i.e. \fIindex\fP
+is superior to the number of entries in \fIprog_array_map\fP), or
+if the maximum number of tail calls has been reached for this
+chain of programs. This limit is defined in the kernel by the
+macro \fBMAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT\fP (not accessible to user space),
+which is currently set to 33.
+.TP
+.B Return
+0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+.UNINDENT
+.TP
+.B \fBlong bpf_clone_redirect(struct sk_buff *\fP\fIskb\fP\fB, u32\fP \fIifindex\fP\fB, u64\fP \fIflags\fP\fB)\fP
+.INDENT 7.0
+.TP
+.B Description
+Clone and redirect the packet associated to \fIskb\fP to another
+net device of index \fIifindex\fP\&. Both ingress and egress
+interfaces can be used for redirection. The \fBBPF_F_INGRESS\fP
+value in \fIflags\fP is used to make the distinction (ingress path
+is selected if the flag is present, egress path otherwise).
+This is the only flag supported for now.
+.sp
+In comparison with \fBbpf_redirect\fP() helper,
+\fBbpf_clone_redirect\fP() has the associated cost of
+duplicating the packet buffer, but this can be executed out of
+the eBPF program. Conversely, \fBbpf_redirect\fP() is more
+efficient, but it is handled through an action code where the
+redirection happens only after the eBPF program has returned.
+.sp
+A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlying
+packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+direct packet access.
+.TP
+.B Return
+0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+.UNINDENT
+.TP
+.B \fBu64 bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(void)\fP
+.INDENT 7.0
+.TP
+.B Description
+Get the current pid and tgid.
+.TP
+.B Return
+A 64\-bit integer containing the current tgid and pid, and
+created as such:
+\fIcurrent_task\fP\fB\->tgid << 32 |\fP
+\fIcurrent_task\fP\fB\->pid\fP\&.
+.UNINDENT
+.TP
+.B \fBu64 bpf_get_current_uid_gid(void)\fP
+.INDENT 7.0
+.TP
+.B Description
+Get the current uid and gid.
+.TP
+.B Return
+A 64\-bit integer containing the current GID and UID, and

+.UNINDENT
+.TP
+.B \fBlong bpf_get_current_comm(void *\fP\fIbuf\fP\fB, u32\fP \fIsize_of_buf\fP\fB)\fP
+.INDENT 7.0
+.TP
+.B Description
+Copy the \fBcomm\fP attribute of the current task into \fIbuf\fP of
+\fIsize_of_buf\fP\&. The \fBcomm\fP attribute contains the name of
+the executable (excluding the path) for the current task. The
+\fIsize_of_buf\fP must be strictly positive. On success, the
+helper makes sure that the \fIbuf\fP is NUL\-terminated. On failure,
+it is filled with zeroes.
+.TP
+.B Return
+0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+.UNINDENT
+.TP
+.B \fBu32 bpf_get_cgroup_classid(struct sk_buff *\fP\fIskb\fP\fB)\fP
+.INDENT 7.0
+.TP
+.B Description
+Retrieve the classid for the current task, i.e. for the net_cls
+cgroup to which \fIskb\fP belongs.
+.sp
+This helper can be used on TC egress path, but not on ingress.
+.sp
+The net_cls cgroup provides an interface to tag network packets
+based on a user\-provided identifier for all traffic coming from
+the tasks belonging to the related cgroup. See also the related
+kernel documentation, available from the Linux sources in file
+\fIDocumentation/admin\-guide/cgroup\-v1/net_cls.rst\fP\&.
+.sp
+The Linux kernel has two versions for cgroups: there are
+cgroups v1 and cgroups v2. Both are available to users, who can

+Read the value of a perf event counter. This helper relies on a
+\fImap\fP of type \fBBPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY\fP\&. The nature of
+the perf event counter is selected when \fImap\fP is updated with
+perf event file descriptors. The \fImap\fP is an array whose size
+is the number of available CPUs, and each cell contains a value
+relative to one CPU. The value to retrieve is indicated by
+\fIflags\fP, that contains the index of the CPU to look up, masked
+with \fBBPF_F_INDEX_MASK\fP\&. Alternatively, \fIflags\fP can be set to
+\fBBPF_F_CURRENT_CPU\fP to indicate that the value for the
+current CPU should be retrieved.
+.sp
+Note that before Linux 4.13, only hardware perf event can be
+retrieved.
+.sp
+Also, be aware that the newer helper
+\fBbpf_perf_event_read_value\fP() is recommended over
+\fBbpf_perf_event_read\fP() in general. The latter has some ABI

+Redirect the packet to another net device of index \fIifindex\fP\&.
+This helper is somewhat similar to \fBbpf_clone_redirect\fP(), except that the packet is not cloned, which provides
+increased performance.
+.sp
+Except for XDP, both ingress and egress interfaces can be used
+for redirection. The \fBBPF_F_INGRESS\fP value in \fIflags\fP is used
+to make the distinction (ingress path is selected if the flag
+is present, egress path otherwise). Currently, XDP only
+supports redirection to the egress interface, and accepts no
+flag at all.
+.sp
+The same effect can also be attained with the more generic
+\fBbpf_redirect_map\fP(), which uses a BPF map to store the
+redirect target instead of providing it directly to the helper.
+.TP
+.B Return
+For XDP, the helper returns \fBXDP_REDIRECT\fP on success or

+identifier retrieved is a user\-provided tag, similar to the
+one used with the net_cls cgroup (see description for
+\fBbpf_get_cgroup_classid\fP() helper), but here this tag is
+held by a route (a destination entry), not by a task.
+.sp
+Retrieving this identifier works with the clsact TC egress hook
+(see also \fBtc\-bpf(8)\fP), or alternatively on conventional
+classful egress qdiscs, but not on TC ingress path. In case of
+clsact TC egress hook, this has the advantage that, internally,

+path. Therefore, the destination entry does not need to be
+artificially held via \fBnetif_keep_dst\fP() for a classful
+qdisc until the \fIskb\fP is freed.

+\fBPERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT\fP as \fBconfig\fP\&.
+.sp
+The \fIflags\fP are used to indicate the index in \fImap\fP for which
+the value must be put, masked with \fBBPF_F_INDEX_MASK\fP\&.
+Alternatively, \fIflags\fP can be set to \fBBPF_F_CURRENT_CPU\fP
+to indicate that the index of the current CPU core should be
+used.
+.sp
+The value to write, of \fIsize\fP, is passed through eBPF stack and
+pointed by \fIdata\fP\&.
+.sp
+The context of the program \fIctx\fP needs also be passed to the

+.sp
+On user space, a program willing to read the values needs to
+call \fBperf_event_open\fP() on the perf event (either for
+one or for all CPUs) and to store the file descriptor into the
+\fImap\fP\&. This must be done before the eBPF program can send data
+into it. An example is available in file
+\fIsamples/bpf/trace_output_user.c\fP in the Linux kernel source

+.TP
+.B Description
+Walk a user or a kernel stack and return its id. To achieve
+this, the helper needs \fIctx\fP, which is a pointer to the context
+on which the tracing program is executed, and a pointer to a
+\fImap\fP of type \fBBPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE\fP\&.
+.sp
+The last argument, \fIflags\fP, holds the number of stack frames to

+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+The stack id retrieved is a 32 bit long integer handle which
+can be further combined with other data (including other stack

+generating a variety of graphs (such as flame graphs or off\-cpu
+graphs).
+.sp
+For walking a stack, this helper is an improvement over
+\fBbpf_probe_read\fP(), which can be used with unrolled loops
+but is not efficient and consumes a lot of eBPF instructions.

+.B Description
+Resize (trim or grow) the packet associated to \fIskb\fP to the
+new \fIlen\fP\&. The \fIflags\fP are reserved for future usage, and must
+be left at zero.
+.sp
+The basic idea is that the helper performs the needed work to
+change the size of the packet, then the eBPF program rewrites
+the rest via helpers like \fBbpf_skb_store_bytes\fP(),
+\fBbpf_l3_csum_replace\fP(), \fBbpf_l3_csum_replace\fP()
+and others. This helper is a slow path utility intended for
+replies with control messages. And because it is targeted for
+slow path, the helper itself can afford to be slow: it
+implicitly linearizes, unclones and drops offloads from the
+\fIskb\fP\&.
+.sp
+A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlying

+previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be

+Pull in non\-linear data in case the \fIskb\fP is non\-linear and not

+\fIlen\fP, then all bytes in the linear part of \fIskb\fP will be made
+readable and writable.
+.sp
+This helper is only needed for reading and writing with direct
+packet access.
+.sp
+For direct packet access, testing that offsets to access
+are within packet boundaries (test on \fIskb\fP\fB\->data_end\fP) is
+susceptible to fail if offsets are invalid, or if the requested
+data is in non\-linear parts of the \fIskb\fP\&. On failure the
+program can just bail out, or in the case of a non\-linear
+buffer, use a helper to make the data available. The
+\fBbpf_skb_load_bytes\fP() helper is a first solution to access
+the data. Another one consists in using \fBbpf_skb_pull_data\fP
+to pull in once the non\-linear parts, then retesting and
+eventually access the data.
+.sp
+At the same time, this also makes sure the \fIskb\fP is uncloned,
+which is a necessary condition for direct write. As this needs
+to be an invariant for the write part only, the verifier
+detects writes and adds a prologue that is calling
+\fBbpf_skb_pull_data()\fP to effectively unclone the \fIskb\fP from
+the very beginning in case it is indeed cloned.

+These values are interesting, because hardware PMU (Performance

+.sp
+The primary use of this field is to determine if there should
+be calls to eBPF programs of type
+\fBBPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS\fP at various points in the TCP
+code. A program of the same type can change its value, per
+connection and as necessary, when the connection is

+this helper must be used for updates in order to return an
+error if an eBPF program tries to set a callback that is not
+supported in the current kernel.

+.B Description
+For socket policies, apply the verdict of the eBPF program to

+.sp
+For example, this helper can be used in the following cases:
+.INDENT 7.0
+.IP \(bu 2
+A single \fBsendmsg\fP() or \fBsendfile\fP() system call
+contains multiple logical messages that the eBPF program is
+supposed to read and for which it should apply a verdict.
+.IP \(bu 2
+An eBPF program only cares to read the first \fIbytes\fP of a
+\fImsg\fP\&. If the message has a large payload, then setting up
+and calling the eBPF program repeatedly for all bytes, even
+though the verdict is already known, would create unnecessary
+overhead.
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+When called from within an eBPF program, the helper sets a
+counter internal to the BPF infrastructure, that is used to
+apply the last verdict to the next \fIbytes\fP\&. If \fIbytes\fP is
+smaller than the current data being processed from a
+\fBsendmsg\fP() or \fBsendfile\fP() system call, the first
+\fIbytes\fP will be sent and the eBPF program will be re\-run with
+the pointer for start of data pointing to byte number \fIbytes\fP
+\fB+ 1\fP\&. If \fIbytes\fP is larger than the current data being
+processed, then the eBPF verdict will be applied to multiple
+\fBsendmsg\fP() or \fBsendfile\fP() calls until \fIbytes\fP are
+consumed.
+.sp
+Note that if a socket closes with the internal counter holding
+a non\-zero value, this is not a problem because data is not
+being buffered for \fIbytes\fP and is sent as it is received.

+.B Description
+For socket policies, prevent the execution of the verdict eBPF
+program for message \fImsg\fP until \fIbytes\fP (byte number) have been

+.sp
+This can be used when one needs a specific number of bytes
+before a verdict can be assigned, even if the data spans
+multiple \fBsendmsg\fP() or \fBsendfile\fP() calls. The extreme
+case would be a user calling \fBsendmsg\fP() repeatedly with
+1\-byte long message segments. Obviously, this is bad for
+performance, but it is still valid. If the eBPF program needs
+\fIbytes\fP bytes to validate a header, this helper can be used to

+If a program of type \fBBPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG\fP is run on a
+\fImsg\fP it can only parse data that the (\fBdata\fP, \fBdata_end\fP)

+is likely the first scatterlist element. But for calls relying
+on the \fBsendpage\fP handler (e.g. \fBsendfile\fP()) this will
+be the range (\fB0\fP, \fB0\fP) because the data is shared with
+user space and by default the objective is to avoid allowing
+user space to modify data while (or after) eBPF verdict is
+being decided. This helper can be used to pull in data and to

+.TP
+.B Description
+Check packet size against exceeding MTU of net device (based
+on \fIifindex\fP). This helper will likely be used in combination
+with helpers that adjust/change the packet size.
+.sp
+The argument \fIlen_diff\fP can be used for querying with a planned
+size change. This allows to check MTU prior to changing packet
+ctx. Providing a \fIlen_diff\fP adjustment that is larger than the
+actual packet size (resulting in negative packet size) will in
+principle not exceed the MTU, which is why it is not considered
+a failure. Other BPF helpers are needed for performing the
+planned size change; therefore the responsibility for catching
+a negative packet size belongs in those helpers.
+.sp
+Specifying \fIifindex\fP zero means the MTU check is performed
+against the current net device. This is practical if this isn\(aqt
+used prior to redirect.
+.sp
+On input \fImtu_len\fP must be a valid pointer, else verifier will
+reject BPF program. If the value \fImtu_len\fP is initialized to
+zero then the ctx packet size is use. When value \fImtu_len\fP is
+provided as input this specify the L3 length that the MTU check
+is done against. Remember XDP and TC length operate at L2, but
+this value is L3 as this correlate to MTU and IP\-header tot_len
+values which are L3 (similar behavior as bpf_fib_lookup).
+.sp
+The Linux kernel route table can configure MTUs on a more
+specific per route level, which is not provided by this helper.
+For route level MTU checks use the \fBbpf_fib_lookup\fP()
+helper.
+.sp
+\fIctx\fP is either \fBstruct xdp_md\fP for XDP programs or
+\fBstruct sk_buff\fP for tc cls_act programs.
+.sp
+The \fIflags\fP argument can be a combination of one or more of the
+following values:
+.INDENT 7.0
+.TP
+.B \fBBPF_MTU_CHK_SEGS\fP
+This flag will only works for \fIctx\fP \fBstruct sk_buff\fP\&.
+If packet context contains extra packet segment buffers
+(often knows as GSO skb), then MTU check is harder to
+check at this point, because in transmit path it is
+possible for the skb packet to get re\-segmented
+(depending on net device features). This could still be
+a MTU violation, so this flag enables performing MTU
+check against segments, with a different violation
+return code to tell it apart. Check cannot use len_diff.
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+On return \fImtu_len\fP pointer contains the MTU value of the net
+device. Remember the net device configured MTU is the L3 size,

+.sp
+This manual page is an effort to document the existing eBPF helper functions.
+But as of this writing, the BPF sub\-system is under heavy development. New eBPF
+program or map types are added, along with new helper functions. Some helpers
+are occasionally made available for additional program types. So in spite of
+the efforts of the community, this page might not be up\-to\-date. If you want to
+check by yourself what helper functions exist in your kernel, or what types of
+programs they can support, here are some files among the kernel tree that you
+may be interested in:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.IP \(bu 2
+\fIinclude/uapi/linux/bpf.h\fP is the main BPF header. It contains the full list
+of all helper functions, as well as many other BPF definitions including most
+of the flags, structs or constants used by the helpers.
+.IP \(bu 2
+\fInet/core/filter.c\fP contains the definition of most network\-related helper
+functions, and the list of program types from which they can be used.
+.IP \(bu 2
+\fIkernel/trace/bpf_trace.c\fP is the equivalent for most tracing program\-related
+helpers.
+.IP \(bu 2
+\fIkernel/bpf/verifier.c\fP contains the functions used to check that valid types
+of eBPF maps are used with a given helper function.
+.IP \(bu 2
+\fIkernel/bpf/\fP directory contains other files in which additional helpers are
+defined (for cgroups, sockmaps, etc.).
+.IP \(bu 2
+The bpftool utility can be used to probe the availability of helper functions
+on the system (as well as supported program and map types, and a number of
+other parameters). To do so, run \fBbpftool feature probe\fP (see
+\fBbpftool\-feature\fP(8) for details). Add the \fBunprivileged\fP keyword to
+list features available to unprivileged users.
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+Compatibility between helper functions and program types can generally be found
+in the files where helper functions are defined. Look for the \fBstruct
+bpf_func_proto\fP objects and for functions returning them: these functions
+contain a list of helpers that a given program type can call. Note that the
+\fBdefault:\fP label of the \fBswitch ... case\fP used to filter helpers can call
+other functions, themselves allowing access to additional helpers. The
+requirement for GPL license is also in those \fBstruct bpf_func_proto\fP\&.
+.sp
+Compatibility between helper functions and map types can be found in the
+\fBcheck_map_func_compatibility\fP() function in file \fIkernel/bpf/verifier.c\fP\&.
+.sp
+Helper functions that invalidate the checks on \fBdata\fP and \fBdata_end\fP

+.SH NAME
+capabilities \- overview of Linux capabilities
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+For the purpose of performing permission checks,
+traditional UNIX implementations distinguish two categories of processes:
+.I privileged
+processes (whose effective user ID is 0, referred to as superuser or root),
+and
+.I unprivileged
+processes (whose effective UID is nonzero).
+Privileged processes bypass all kernel permission checks,
+while unprivileged processes are subject to full permission
+checking based on the process's credentials
+(usually: effective UID, effective GID, and supplementary group list).
+.PP
+Starting with Linux 2.2, Linux divides the privileges traditionally
+associated with superuser into distinct units, known as
+.IR capabilities ,
+which can be independently enabled and disabled.
+Capabilities are a per-thread attribute.
+.\"

+.SS Past and current implementation
+A full implementation of capabilities requires that:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+For all privileged operations,
+the kernel must check whether the thread has the required
+capability in its effective set.
+.IP \[bu]
+The kernel must provide system calls allowing a thread's capability sets to
+be changed and retrieved.
+.IP \[bu]
+The filesystem must support attaching capabilities to an executable file,
+so that a process gains those capabilities when the file is executed.
+.PP
+Before Linux 2.6.24, only the first two of these requirements are met;
+since Linux 2.6.24, all three requirements are met.
+.\"
+.SS Notes to kernel developers
+When adding a new kernel feature that should be governed by a capability,
+consider the following points.
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The goal of capabilities is divide the power of superuser into pieces,
+such that if a program that has one or more capabilities is compromised,
+its power to do damage to the system would be less than the same program
+running with root privilege.
+.IP \[bu]
+You have the choice of either creating a new capability for your new feature,
+or associating the feature with one of the existing capabilities.
+In order to keep the set of capabilities to a manageable size,
+the latter option is preferable,
+unless there are compelling reasons to take the former option.
+(There is also a technical limit:
+the size of capability sets is currently limited to 64 bits.)
+.IP \[bu]
+To determine which existing capability might best be associated
+with your new feature, review the list of capabilities above in order
+to find a "silo" into which your new feature best fits.
+One approach to take is to determine if there are other features
+requiring capabilities that will always be used along with the new feature.
+If the new feature is useless without these other features,
+you should use the same capability as the other features.
+.IP \[bu]
+.I Don't
+choose
+.B CAP_SYS_ADMIN
+if you can possibly avoid it!
+A vast proportion of existing capability checks are associated
+with this capability (see the partial list above).
+It can plausibly be called "the new root",
+since on the one hand, it confers a wide range of powers,
+and on the other hand,
+its broad scope means that this is the capability
+that is required by many privileged programs.
+Don't make the problem worse.
+The only new features that should be associated with
+.B CAP_SYS_ADMIN
+are ones that
+.I closely
+match existing uses in that silo.
+.IP \[bu]
+If you have determined that it really is necessary to create
+a new capability for your feature,
+don't make or name it as a "single-use" capability.
+Thus, for example, the addition of the highly specific
+.B CAP_SYS_PACCT
+was probably a mistake.
+Instead, try to identify and name your new capability as a broader
+silo into which other related future use cases might fit.
+.\"
+.SS Thread capability sets
+Each thread has the following capability sets containing zero or more
+of the above capabilities:
+.TP
+.I Permitted
+This is a limiting superset for the effective
+capabilities that the thread may assume.

+.SS File capabilities
+Since Linux 2.6.24, the kernel supports
+associating capability sets with an executable file using
+.BR setcap (8).
+The file capability sets are stored in an extended attribute (see
+.BR setxattr (2)
+and
+.BR xattr (7))
+named
+.IR "security.capability" .
+Writing to this extended attribute requires the
+.B CAP_SETFCAP
+capability.
+The file capability sets,
+in conjunction with the capability sets of the thread,
+determine the capabilities of a thread after an
+.BR execve (2).
+.PP
+The three file capability sets are:
+.TP
+.IR Permitted " (formerly known as " forced ):
+These capabilities are automatically permitted to the thread,
+regardless of the thread's inheritable capabilities.
+.TP
+.IR Inheritable " (formerly known as " allowed ):
+This set is ANDed with the thread's inheritable set to determine which
+inheritable capabilities are enabled in the permitted set of
+the thread after the
+.BR execve (2).
+.TP
+.IR Effective :
+This is not a set, but rather just a single bit.
+If this bit is set, then during an
+.BR execve (2)
+all of the new permitted capabilities for the thread are
+also raised in the effective set.
+If this bit is not set, then after an
+.BR execve (2),
+none of the new permitted capabilities is in the new effective set.
+.IP
+Enabling the file effective capability bit implies
+that any file permitted or inheritable capability that causes a
+thread to acquire the corresponding permitted capability during an
+.BR execve (2)
+(see
+.I Transformation of capabilities during execve()
+below) will also acquire that
+capability in its effective set.
+Therefore, when assigning capabilities to a file
+.RB ( setcap (8),
+.BR cap_set_file (3),
+.BR cap_set_fd (3)),
+if we specify the effective flag as being enabled for any capability,
+then the effective flag must also be specified as enabled
+for all other capabilities for which the corresponding permitted or
+inheritable flag is enabled.
+.\"
+.SS File capability extended attribute versioning
+To allow extensibility,
+the kernel supports a scheme to encode a version number inside the
+.I security.capability
+extended attribute that is used to implement file capabilities.
+These version numbers are internal to the implementation,
+and not directly visible to user-space applications.
+To date, the following versions are supported:
+.TP
+.B VFS_CAP_REVISION_1
+This was the original file capability implementation,
+which supported 32-bit masks for file capabilities.
+.TP
+.BR VFS_CAP_REVISION_2 " (since Linux 2.6.25)"
+.\" commit e338d263a76af78fe8f38a72131188b58fceb591
+This version allows for file capability masks that are 64 bits in size,
+and was necessary as the number of supported capabilities grew beyond 32.
+The kernel transparently continues to support the execution of files
+that have 32-bit version 1 capability masks,
+but when adding capabilities to files that did not previously
+have capabilities, or modifying the capabilities of existing files,
+it automatically uses the version 2 scheme
+(or possibly the version 3 scheme, as described below).
+.TP
+.BR VFS_CAP_REVISION_3 " (since Linux 4.14)"
+.\" commit 8db6c34f1dbc8e06aa016a9b829b06902c3e1340
+Version 3 file capabilities are provided
+to support namespaced file capabilities (described below).
+.IP
+As with version 2 file capabilities,
+version 3 capability masks are 64 bits in size.
+But in addition, the root user ID of namespace is encoded in the
+.I security.capability
+extended attribute.
+(A namespace's root user ID is the value that user ID 0
+inside that namespace maps to in the initial user namespace.)
+.IP
+Version 3 file capabilities are designed to coexist
+with version 2 capabilities;
+that is, on a modern Linux system,
+there may be some files with version 2 capabilities
+while others have version 3 capabilities.
+.PP
+Before Linux 4.14,
+the only kind of file capability extended attribute
+that could be attached to a file was a
+.B VFS_CAP_REVISION_2
+attribute.
+Since Linux 4.14,
+the version of the
+.I security.capability
+extended attribute that is attached to a file
+depends on the circumstances in which the attribute was created.
+.PP
+Starting with Linux 4.14, a
+.I security.capability
+extended attribute is automatically created as (or converted to)
+a version 3
+.RB ( VFS_CAP_REVISION_3 )
+attribute if both of the following are true:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The thread writing the attribute resides in a noninitial user namespace.
+(More precisely: the thread resides in a user namespace other
+than the one from which the underlying filesystem was mounted.)
+.IP \[bu]
+The thread has the
+.B CAP_SETFCAP
+capability over the file inode,
+meaning that (a) the thread has the
+.B CAP_SETFCAP
+capability in its own user namespace;
+and (b) the UID and GID of the file inode have mappings in
+the writer's user namespace.
+.PP
+When a
+.B VFS_CAP_REVISION_3
+.I security.capability
+extended attribute is created, the root user ID of the creating thread's
+user namespace is saved in the extended attribute.
+.PP
+By contrast, creating or modifying a
+.I security.capability
+extended attribute from a privileged
+.RB ( CAP_SETFCAP )
+thread that resides in the
+namespace where the underlying filesystem was mounted
+(this normally means the initial user namespace)
+automatically results in the creation of a version 2
+.RB ( VFS_CAP_REVISION_2 )
+attribute.
+.PP
+Note that the creation of a version 3
+.I security.capability
+extended attribute is automatic.
+That is to say, when a user-space application writes
+.RB ( setxattr (2))
+a
+.I security.capability
+attribute in the version 2 format,
+the kernel will automatically create a version 3 attribute
+if the attribute is created in the circumstances described above.
+Correspondingly, when a version 3
+.I security.capability
+attribute is retrieved
+.RB ( getxattr (2))
+by a process that resides inside a user namespace that was created by the
+root user ID (or a descendant of that user namespace),
+the returned attribute is (automatically)
+simplified to appear as a version 2 attribute
+(i.e., the returned value is the size of a version 2 attribute and does
+not include the root user ID).
+These automatic translations mean that no changes are required to
+user-space tools (e.g.,
+.BR setcap (1)
+and
+.BR getcap (1))
+in order for those tools to be used to create and retrieve version 3
+.I security.capability
+attributes.
+.PP
+Note that a file can have either a version 2 or a version 3
+.I security.capability
+extended attribute associated with it, but not both:
+creation or modification of the
+.I security.capability
+extended attribute will automatically modify the version
+according to the circumstances in which the extended attribute is
+created or modified.

+File capabilities are similarly ignored if the kernel was booted with the
+.I no_file_caps
+option.
+.PP
+.IR Note :
+according to the rules above,
+if a process with nonzero user IDs performs an

+then any capabilities that are present in

+.SS Safety checking for capability-dumb binaries
+A capability-dumb binary is an application that has been

+(In other words, this is a traditional set-user-ID-root program

+For such applications,

+In order to mirror traditional UNIX semantics,

+a process with UID 0 (root) executes a program and
+when a set-user-ID-root program is executed.
+.PP
+After having performed any changes to the process effective ID that
+were triggered by the set-user-ID mode bit of the binary\[em]e.g.,
+switching the effective user ID to 0 (root) because
+a set-user-ID-root program was executed\[em]the
+kernel calculates the file capability sets as follows:
+.IP (1) 5
+If the real or effective user ID of the process is 0 (root),

+.IP (2)
+If the effective user ID of the process is 0 (root) or

+(Since Linux 2.6.25)
+The capability bounding set acts as a limiting superset for

+.SS Namespaced file capabilities
+.\" commit 8db6c34f1dbc8e06aa016a9b829b06902c3e1340
+Traditional (i.e., version 2) file capabilities associate
+only a set of capability masks with a binary executable file.
+When a process executes a binary with such capabilities,
+it gains the associated capabilities (within its user namespace)
+as per the rules described in
+.I Transformation of capabilities during execve()
+above.
+.PP
+Because version 2 file capabilities confer capabilities to
+the executing process regardless of which user namespace it resides in,
+only privileged processes are permitted to associate capabilities with a file.
+Here, "privileged" means a process that has the
+.B CAP_SETFCAP
+capability in the user namespace where the filesystem was mounted
+(normally the initial user namespace).
+This limitation renders file capabilities useless for certain use cases.
+For example, in user-namespaced containers,
+it can be desirable to be able to create a binary that
+confers capabilities only to processes executed inside that container,
+but not to processes that are executed outside the container.
+.PP
+Linux 4.14 added so-called namespaced file capabilities
+to support such use cases.
+Namespaced file capabilities are recorded as version 3 (i.e.,
+.BR VFS_CAP_REVISION_3 )
+.I security.capability
+extended attributes.
+Such an attribute is automatically created in the circumstances described
+in
+.I File capability extended attribute versioning
+above.
+When a version 3
+.I security.capability
+extended attribute is created,
+the kernel records not just the capability masks in the extended attribute,
+but also the namespace root user ID.
+.PP
+As with a binary that has
+.B VFS_CAP_REVISION_2
+file capabilities, a binary with
+.B VFS_CAP_REVISION_3
+file capabilities confers capabilities to a process during
+.BR execve ().
+However, capabilities are conferred only if the binary is executed by
+a process that resides in a user namespace whose
+UID 0 maps to the root user ID that is saved in the extended attribute,
+or when executed by a process that resides in a descendant of such a namespace.

+.SH NAME
+cgroup_namespaces \- overview of Linux cgroup namespaces
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+For an overview of namespaces, see
+.BR namespaces (7).
+.PP
+Cgroup namespaces virtualize the view of a process's cgroups (see
+.BR cgroups (7))
+as seen via
+.IR /proc/ pid /cgroup
+and
+.IR /proc/ pid /mountinfo .
+.PP
+Each cgroup namespace has its own set of cgroup root directories.
+These root directories are the base points for the relative
+locations displayed in the corresponding records in the
+.IR /proc/ pid /cgroup
+file.
+When a process creates a new cgroup namespace using
+.BR clone (2)
+or
+.BR unshare (2)
+with the
+.B CLONE_NEWCGROUP
+flag, its current
+cgroups directories become the cgroup root directories
+of the new namespace.
+(This applies both for the cgroups version 1 hierarchies
+and the cgroups version 2 unified hierarchy.)
+.PP
+When reading the cgroup memberships of a "target" process from
+.IR /proc/ pid /cgroup ,
+the pathname shown in the third field of each record will be
+relative to the reading process's root directory
+for the corresponding cgroup hierarchy.
+If the cgroup directory of the target process lies outside
+the root directory of the reading process's cgroup namespace,
+then the pathname will show
+.I ../
+entries for each ancestor level in the cgroup hierarchy.
+.PP
+The following shell session demonstrates the effect of creating
+a new cgroup namespace.
+.PP
+First, (as superuser) in a shell in the initial cgroup namespace,
+we create a child cgroup in the
+.I freezer
+hierarchy, and place a process in that cgroup that we will
+use as part of the demonstration below:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+# \fBmkdir \-p /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/sub2\fP
+# \fBsleep 10000 &\fP # Create a process that lives for a while
+[1] 20124
+# \fBecho 20124 > /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/sub2/cgroup.procs\fP
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+We then create another child cgroup in the
+.I freezer
+hierarchy and put the shell into that cgroup:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+# \fBmkdir \-p /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/sub\fP
+# \fBecho $$\fP # Show PID of this shell
+30655
+# \fBecho 30655 > /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/sub/cgroup.procs\fP
+# \fBcat /proc/self/cgroup | grep freezer\fP
+7:freezer:/sub
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+Next, we use
+.BR unshare (1)
+to create a process running a new shell in new cgroup and mount namespaces:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+# \fBPS1="sh2# " unshare \-Cm bash\fP
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+From the new shell started by
+.BR unshare (1),
+we then inspect the
+.IR /proc/ pid /cgroup
+files of, respectively, the new shell,
+a process that is in the initial cgroup namespace
+.RI ( init ,
+with PID 1), and the process in the sibling cgroup
+.RI ( sub2 ):
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+sh2# \fBcat /proc/self/cgroup | grep freezer\fP
+7:freezer:/
+sh2# \fBcat /proc/1/cgroup | grep freezer\fP
+7:freezer:/..
+sh2# \fBcat /proc/20124/cgroup | grep freezer\fP
+7:freezer:/../sub2
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+From the output of the first command,
+we see that the freezer cgroup membership of the new shell
+(which is in the same cgroup as the initial shell)
+is shown defined relative to the freezer cgroup root directory
+that was established when the new cgroup namespace was created.
+(In absolute terms,
+the new shell is in the
+.I /sub
+freezer cgroup,
+and the root directory of the freezer cgroup hierarchy
+in the new cgroup namespace is also
+.IR /sub .
+Thus, the new shell's cgroup membership is displayed as \[aq]/\[aq].)
+.PP
+However, when we look in
+.I /proc/self/mountinfo
+we see the following anomaly:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+sh2# \fBcat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep freezer\fP
+155 145 0:32 /.. /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer ...
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+The fourth field of this line
+.RI ( /.. )
+should show the
+directory in the cgroup filesystem which forms the root of this mount.
+Since by the definition of cgroup namespaces, the process's current
+freezer cgroup directory became its root freezer cgroup directory,
+we should see \[aq]/\[aq] in this field.
+The problem here is that we are seeing a mount entry for the cgroup
+filesystem corresponding to the initial cgroup namespace
+(whose cgroup filesystem is indeed rooted at the parent directory of
+.IR sub ).
+To fix this problem, we must remount the freezer cgroup filesystem
+from the new shell (i.e., perform the mount from a process that is in the
+new cgroup namespace), after which we see the expected results:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+sh2# \fBmount \-\-make\-rslave /\fP # Don\[aq]t propagate mount events
+ # to other namespaces
+sh2# \fBumount /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer\fP
+sh2# \fBmount \-t cgroup \-o freezer freezer /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer\fP
+sh2# \fBcat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep freezer\fP
+155 145 0:32 / /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer rw,relatime ...
+.EE
+.in
+.\"
+.SH STANDARDS
+Linux.
+.SH NOTES
+Use of cgroup namespaces requires a kernel that is configured with the
+.B CONFIG_CGROUPS
+option.
+.PP
+The virtualization provided by cgroup namespaces serves a number of purposes:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+It prevents information leaks whereby cgroup directory paths outside of
+a container would otherwise be visible to processes in the container.
+Such leakages could, for example,
+reveal information about the container framework
+to containerized applications.
+.IP \[bu]
+It eases tasks such as container migration.
+The virtualization provided by cgroup namespaces
+allows containers to be isolated from knowledge of
+the pathnames of ancestor cgroups.
+Without such isolation, the full cgroup pathnames (displayed in
+.IR /proc/self/cgroups )
+would need to be replicated on the target system when migrating a container;
+those pathnames would also need to be unique,
+so that they don't conflict with other pathnames on the target system.
+.IP \[bu]
+It allows better confinement of containerized processes,
+because it is possible to mount the container's cgroup filesystems such that
+the container processes can't gain access to ancestor cgroup directories.
+Consider, for example, the following scenario:
+.RS
+.IP \[bu] 3
+We have a cgroup directory,
+.IR /cg/1 ,
+that is owned by user ID 9000.
+.IP \[bu]
+We have a process,
+.IR X ,
+also owned by user ID 9000,
+that is namespaced under the cgroup
+.I /cg/1/2
+(i.e.,
+.I X
+was placed in a new cgroup namespace via
+.BR clone (2)
+or
+.BR unshare (2)
+with the
+.B CLONE_NEWCGROUP
+flag).
+.RE
+.IP
+In the absence of cgroup namespacing, because the cgroup directory
+.I /cg/1
+is owned (and writable) by UID 9000 and process
+.I X
+is also owned by user ID 9000, process
+.I X
+would be able to modify the contents of cgroups files
+(i.e., change cgroup settings) not only in
+.I /cg/1/2
+but also in the ancestor cgroup directory
+.IR /cg/1 .
+Namespacing process
+.I X
+under the cgroup directory
+.IR /cg/1/2 ,
+in combination with suitable mount operations
+for the cgroup filesystem (as shown above),
+prevents it modifying files in
+.IR /cg/1 ,
+since it cannot even see the contents of that directory
+(or of further removed cgroup ancestor directories).
+Combined with correct enforcement of hierarchical limits,
+this prevents process
+.I X
+from escaping the limits imposed by ancestor cgroups.

+.SH NAME
+cgroups \- Linux control groups
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Control groups, usually referred to as cgroups,
+are a Linux kernel feature which allow processes to
+be organized into hierarchical groups whose usage of
+various types of resources can then be limited and monitored.
+The kernel's cgroup interface is provided through
+a pseudo-filesystem called cgroupfs.
+Grouping is implemented in the core cgroup kernel code,
+while resource tracking and limits are implemented in
+a set of per-resource-type subsystems (memory, CPU, and so on).
+.\"
+.SS Terminology
+A
+.I cgroup
+is a collection of processes that are bound to a set of
+limits or parameters defined via the cgroup filesystem.
+.PP
+A
+.I subsystem
+is a kernel component that modifies the behavior of
+the processes in a cgroup.
+Various subsystems have been implemented, making it possible to do things
+such as limiting the amount of CPU time and memory available to a cgroup,
+accounting for the CPU time used by a cgroup,
+and freezing and resuming execution of the processes in a cgroup.
+Subsystems are sometimes also known as
+.I resource controllers
+(or simply, controllers).
+.PP
+The cgroups for a controller are arranged in a
+.IR hierarchy .
+This hierarchy is defined by creating, removing, and
+renaming subdirectories within the cgroup filesystem.
+At each level of the hierarchy, attributes (e.g., limits) can be defined.
+The limits, control, and accounting provided by cgroups generally have
+effect throughout the subhierarchy underneath the cgroup where the
+attributes are defined.
+Thus, for example, the limits placed on
+a cgroup at a higher level in the hierarchy cannot be exceeded
+by descendant cgroups.
+.\"
+.SS Cgroups version 1 and version 2
+The initial release of the cgroups implementation was in Linux 2.6.24.
+Over time, various cgroup controllers have been added
+to allow the management of various types of resources.
+However, the development of these controllers was largely uncoordinated,
+with the result that many inconsistencies arose between controllers
+and management of the cgroup hierarchies became rather complex.
+A longer description of these problems can be found in the kernel
+source file
+.I Documentation/admin\-guide/cgroup\-v2.rst
+(or
+.I Documentation/cgroup\-v2.txt
+in Linux 4.17 and earlier).
+.PP
+Because of the problems with the initial cgroups implementation
+(cgroups version 1),
+starting in Linux 3.10, work began on a new,
+orthogonal implementation to remedy these problems.
+Initially marked experimental, and hidden behind the
+.I "\-o\ __DEVEL__sane_behavior"
+mount option, the new version (cgroups version 2)
+was eventually made official with the release of Linux 4.5.
+Differences between the two versions are described in the text below.
+The file
+.IR cgroup.sane_behavior ,
+present in cgroups v1, is a relic of this mount option.
+The file always reports "0" and is only retained for backward compatibility.
+.PP
+Although cgroups v2 is intended as a replacement for cgroups v1,
+the older system continues to exist
+(and for compatibility reasons is unlikely to be removed).
+Currently, cgroups v2 implements only a subset of the controllers
+available in cgroups v1.
+The two systems are implemented so that both v1 controllers and
+v2 controllers can be mounted on the same system.
+Thus, for example, it is possible to use those controllers
+that are supported under version 2,
+while also using version 1 controllers
+where version 2 does not yet support those controllers.
+The only restriction here is that a controller can't be simultaneously
+employed in both a cgroups v1 hierarchy and in the cgroups v2 hierarchy.
+.\"
+.SH CGROUPS VERSION 1
+Under cgroups v1, each controller may be mounted against a separate
+cgroup filesystem that provides its own hierarchical organization of the
+processes on the system.
+It is also possible to comount multiple (or even all) cgroups v1 controllers
+against the same cgroup filesystem, meaning that the comounted controllers
+manage the same hierarchical organization of processes.
+.PP
+For each mounted hierarchy,
+the directory tree mirrors the control group hierarchy.
+Each control group is represented by a directory, with each of its child
+control cgroups represented as a child directory.
+For instance,
+.I /user/joe/1.session
+represents control group
+.IR 1.session ,
+which is a child of cgroup
+.IR joe ,
+which is a child of
+.IR /user .
+Under each cgroup directory is a set of files which can be read or
+written to, reflecting resource limits and a few general cgroup
+properties.
+.\"
+.SS Tasks (threads) versus processes
+In cgroups v1, a distinction is drawn between
+.I processes
+and
+.IR tasks .
+In this view, a process can consist of multiple tasks
+(more commonly called threads, from a user-space perspective,
+and called such in the remainder of this man page).
+In cgroups v1, it is possible to independently manipulate
+the cgroup memberships of the threads in a process.
+.PP
+The cgroups v1 ability to split threads across different cgroups
+caused problems in some cases.
+For example, it made no sense for the
+.I memory
+controller,
+since all of the threads of a process share a single address space.
+Because of these problems,
+the ability to independently manipulate the cgroup memberships
+of the threads in a process was removed in the initial cgroups v2
+implementation, and subsequently restored in a more limited form
+(see the discussion of "thread mode" below).
+.\"
+.SS Mounting v1 controllers
+The use of cgroups requires a kernel built with the
+.B CONFIG_CGROUP
+option.
+In addition, each of the v1 controllers has an associated
+configuration option that must be set in order to employ that controller.
+.PP
+In order to use a v1 controller,
+it must be mounted against a cgroup filesystem.
+The usual place for such mounts is under a
+.BR tmpfs (5)
+filesystem mounted at
+.IR /sys/fs/cgroup .
+Thus, one might mount the
+.I cpu
+controller as follows:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+mount \-t cgroup \-o cpu none /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+It is possible to comount multiple controllers against the same hierarchy.
+For example, here the
+.I cpu
+and
+.I cpuacct
+controllers are comounted against a single hierarchy:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+mount \-t cgroup \-o cpu,cpuacct none /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+Comounting controllers has the effect that a process is in the same cgroup for
+all of the comounted controllers.
+Separately mounting controllers allows a process to
+be in cgroup
+.I /foo1
+for one controller while being in
+.I /foo2/foo3
+for another.
+.PP
+It is possible to comount all v1 controllers against the same hierarchy:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+mount \-t cgroup \-o all cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+(One can achieve the same result by omitting
+.IR "\-o all" ,
+since it is the default if no controllers are explicitly specified.)
+.PP
+It is not possible to mount the same controller
+against multiple cgroup hierarchies.
+For example, it is not possible to mount both the
+.I cpu
+and
+.I cpuacct
+controllers against one hierarchy, and to mount the
+.I cpu
+controller alone against another hierarchy.
+It is possible to create multiple mount with exactly
+the same set of comounted controllers.
+However, in this case all that results is multiple mount points
+providing a view of the same hierarchy.
+.PP
+Note that on many systems, the v1 controllers are automatically mounted under
+.IR /sys/fs/cgroup ;
+in particular,
+.BR systemd (1)
+automatically creates such mounts.
+.\"
+.SS Unmounting v1 controllers
+A mounted cgroup filesystem can be unmounted using the
+.BR umount (8)
+command, as in the following example:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+umount /sys/fs/cgroup/pids
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+.IR "But note well" :
+a cgroup filesystem is unmounted only if it is not busy,
+that is, it has no child cgroups.
+If this is not the case, then the only effect of the
+.BR umount (8)
+is to make the mount invisible.
+Thus, to ensure that the mount is really removed,
+one must first remove all child cgroups,
+which in turn can be done only after all member processes
+have been moved from those cgroups to the root cgroup.
+.\"
+.SS Cgroups version 1 controllers
+Each of the cgroups version 1 controllers is governed
+by a kernel configuration option (listed below).
+Additionally, the availability of the cgroups feature is governed by the
+.B CONFIG_CGROUPS
+kernel configuration option.
+.TP
+.IR cpu " (since Linux 2.6.24; " \fBCONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED\fP )
+Cgroups can be guaranteed a minimum number of "CPU shares"
+when a system is busy.
+This does not limit a cgroup's CPU usage if the CPUs are not busy.
+For further information, see
+.I Documentation/scheduler/sched\-design\-CFS.rst
+(or
+.I Documentation/scheduler/sched\-design\-CFS.txt
+in Linux 5.2 and earlier).
+.IP
+In Linux 3.2,
+this controller was extended to provide CPU "bandwidth" control.
+If the kernel is configured with
+.BR CONFIG_CFS_BANDWIDTH ,
+then within each scheduling period
+(defined via a file in the cgroup directory), it is possible to define
+an upper limit on the CPU time allocated to the processes in a cgroup.
+This upper limit applies even if there is no other competition for the CPU.
+Further information can be found in the kernel source file
+.I Documentation/scheduler/sched\-bwc.rst
+(or
+.I Documentation/scheduler/sched\-bwc.txt
+in Linux 5.2 and earlier).
+.TP
+.IR cpuacct " (since Linux 2.6.24; " \fBCONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT\fP )
+This provides accounting for CPU usage by groups of processes.
+.IP

+The
+.I release_agent
+program might remove the cgroup directory,

+under both the v1 and the v2 hierarchies.
+.PP
+The new behaviors in cgroups v2 are summarized here,
+and in some cases elaborated in the following subsections.
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Cgroups v2 provides a unified hierarchy against
+which all controllers are mounted.
+.IP \[bu]
+"Internal" processes are not permitted.
+With the exception of the root cgroup, processes may reside
+only in leaf nodes (cgroups that do not themselves contain child cgroups).

+Active cgroups must be specified via the files
+.I cgroup.controllers

+.
+.PP
+Some of the new behaviors listed above saw subsequent modification with
+the addition in Linux 4.14 of "thread mode" (described below).
+.\"
+.SS Cgroups v2 unified hierarchy
+In cgroups v1, the ability to mount different controllers
+against different hierarchies was intended to allow great flexibility
+for application design.
+In practice, though,
+the flexibility turned out to be less useful than expected,
+and in many cases added complexity.
+Therefore, in cgroups v2,
+all available controllers are mounted against a single hierarchy.
+The available controllers are automatically mounted,
+meaning that it is not necessary (or possible) to specify the controllers
+when mounting the cgroup v2 filesystem using a command such as the following:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+mount \-t cgroup2 none /mnt/cgroup2
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+A cgroup v2 controller is available only if it is not currently in use
+via a mount against a cgroup v1 hierarchy.
+Or, to put things another way, it is not possible to employ
+the same controller against both a v1 hierarchy and the unified v2 hierarchy.
+This means that it may be necessary first to unmount a v1 controller
+(as described above) before that controller is available in v2.
+Since
+.BR systemd (1)
+makes heavy use of some v1 controllers by default,
+it can in some cases be simpler to boot the system with
+selected v1 controllers disabled.
+To do this, specify the
+.I cgroup_no_v1=list
+option on the kernel boot command line;
+.I list
+is a comma-separated list of the names of the controllers to disable,
+or the word
+.I all
+to disable all v1 controllers.
+(This situation is correctly handled by
+.BR systemd (1),
+which falls back to operating without the specified controllers.)
+.PP
+Note that on many modern systems,
+.BR systemd (1)
+automatically mounts the
+.I cgroup2
+filesystem at
+.I /sys/fs/cgroup/unified
+during the boot process.

+.SS Cgroups v2 mount options
+The following options
+.RI ( mount\~\-o )

+This was the behavior before Linux 5.2.
+Starting in Linux 5.2,
+the default behavior is to include statistics for descendant cgroups in
+.IR memory.events ,
+and this mount option can be used to revert to the legacy behavior.

+.SS Cgroups v2 subtree control
+Each cgroup in the v2 hierarchy contains the following two files:
+.TP

+This read-only file exposes a list of the controllers that are
+.I available
+in this cgroup.

+.TP

+This is a list of controllers that are
+.I active
+.RI ( enabled )
+in the cgroup.
+The set of controllers in this file is a subset of the set in the
+.I cgroup.controllers
+of this cgroup.
+The set of active controllers is modified by writing strings to this file
+containing space-delimited controller names,

+.\"
+.SS Cgroups v2 """no internal processes""" rule
+Cgroups v2 enforces a so-called "no internal processes" rule.
+Roughly speaking, this rule means that,
+with the exception of the root cgroup, processes may reside
+only in leaf nodes (cgroups that do not themselves contain child cgroups).
+This avoids the need to decide how to partition resources between
+processes which are members of cgroup A and processes in child cgroups of A.
+.PP
+For instance, if cgroup
+.I /cg1/cg2
+exists, then a process may reside in
+.IR /cg1/cg2 ,
+but not in
+.IR /cg1 .
+This is to avoid an ambiguity in cgroups v1
+with respect to the delegation of resources between processes in
+.I /cg1
+and its child cgroups.
+The recommended approach in cgroups v2 is to create a subdirectory called
+.I leaf
+for any nonleaf cgroup which should contain processes, but no child cgroups.
+Thus, processes which previously would have gone into
+.I /cg1
+would now go into
+.IR /cg1/leaf .
+This has the advantage of making explicit
+the relationship between processes in
+.I /cg1/leaf
+and
+.IR /cg1 's
+other children.
+.PP
+The "no internal processes" rule is in fact more subtle than stated above.
+More precisely, the rule is that a (nonroot) cgroup can't both
+(1) have member processes, and
+(2) distribute resources into child cgroups\[em]that is, have a nonempty
+.I cgroup.subtree_control
+file.
+Thus, it
+.I is
+possible for a cgroup to have both member processes and child cgroups,
+but before controllers can be enabled for that cgroup,
+the member processes must be moved out of the cgroup
+(e.g., perhaps into the child cgroups).

+With the Linux 4.14 addition of "thread mode" (described below),
+the "no internal processes" rule has been relaxed in some cases.

+.SH CGROUPS DELEGATION: DELEGATING A HIERARCHY TO A LESS PRIVILEGED USER
+In the context of cgroups,
+delegation means passing management of some subtree
+of the cgroup hierarchy to a nonprivileged user.
+Cgroups v1 provides support for delegation based on file permissions
+in the cgroup hierarchy but with less strict containment rules than v2
+(as noted below).
+Cgroups v2 supports delegation with containment by explicit design.
+The focus of the discussion in this section is on delegation in cgroups v2,
+with some differences for cgroups v1 noted along the way.
+.PP
+Some terminology is required in order to describe delegation.
+A
+.I delegater
+is a privileged user (i.e., root) who owns a parent cgroup.
+A
+.I delegatee
+is a nonprivileged user who will be granted the permissions needed
+to manage some subhierarchy under that parent cgroup,
+known as the
+.IR "delegated subtree" .
+.PP
+To perform delegation,
+the delegater makes certain directories and files writable by the delegatee,
+typically by changing the ownership of the objects to be the user ID
+of the delegatee.
+Assuming that we want to delegate the hierarchy rooted at (say)
+.I /dlgt_grp
+and that there are not yet any child cgroups under that cgroup,
+the ownership of the following is changed to the user ID of the delegatee:
+.TP
+.I /dlgt_grp
+Changing the ownership of the root of the subtree means that any new
+cgroups created under the subtree (and the files they contain)
+will also be owned by the delegatee.
+.TP
+.I /dlgt_grp/cgroup.procs
+Changing the ownership of this file means that the delegatee
+can move processes into the root of the delegated subtree.
+.TP
+.IR /dlgt_grp/cgroup.subtree_control " (cgroups v2 only)"
+Changing the ownership of this file means that the delegatee
+can enable controllers (that are present in
+.IR /dlgt_grp/cgroup.controllers )
+in order to further redistribute resources at lower levels in the subtree.
+(As an alternative to changing the ownership of this file,

+Changing the ownership of this file is necessary if a threaded subtree

+This permits the delegatee to write thread IDs to the file.
+(The ownership of this file can also be changed when delegating

+since, as described below, it is not possible to move a thread between
+domain cgroups by writing its thread ID to the

+file.)
+.IP
+In cgroups v1, the corresponding file that should instead be delegated is the
+.I tasks
+file.
+.PP
+The delegater should
+.I not
+change the ownership of any of the controller interfaces files (e.g.,
+.IR pids.max ,
+.IR memory.high )
+in
+.IR dlgt_grp .
+Those files are used from the next level above the delegated subtree

+.SS Cgroups v2 delegation: nsdelegate and cgroup namespaces
+Starting with Linux 4.13,
+.\" commit 5136f6365ce3eace5a926e10f16ed2a233db5ba9
+there is a second way to perform cgroup delegation in the cgroups v2 hierarchy.
+This is done by mounting or remounting the cgroup v2 filesystem with the
+.I nsdelegate
+mount option.
+For example, if the cgroup v2 filesystem has already been mounted,
+we can remount it with the
+.I nsdelegate
+option as follows:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+mount \-t cgroup2 \-o remount,nsdelegate \e
+ none /sys/fs/cgroup/unified
+.EE
+.in
+.\"
+.\" Alternatively, we could boot the kernel with the options:
+.\"
+.\" cgroup_no_v1=all systemd.legacy_systemd_cgroup_controller
+.\"
+.\" The effect of the latter option is to prevent systemd from employing
+.\" its "hybrid" cgroup mode, where it tries to make use of cgroups v2.
+.PP
+The effect of this mount option is to cause cgroup namespaces
+to automatically become delegation boundaries.
+More specifically,
+the following restrictions apply for processes inside the cgroup namespace:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Writes to controller interface files in the root directory of the namespace
+will fail with the error
+.BR EPERM .
+Processes inside the cgroup namespace can still write to delegatable
+files in the root directory of the cgroup namespace such as
+.I cgroup.procs
+and
+.IR cgroup.subtree_control ,
+and can create subhierarchy underneath the root directory.
+.IP \[bu]
+Attempts to migrate processes across the namespace boundary are denied
+(with the error
+.BR ENOENT ).
+Processes inside the cgroup namespace can still
+(subject to the containment rules described below)
+move processes between cgroups
+.I within
+the subhierarchy under the namespace root.
+.PP
+The ability to define cgroup namespaces as delegation boundaries
+makes cgroup namespaces more useful.
+To understand why, suppose that we already have one cgroup hierarchy
+that has been delegated to a nonprivileged user,
+.IR cecilia ,
+using the older delegation technique described above.
+Suppose further that
+.I cecilia
+wanted to further delegate a subhierarchy
+under the existing delegated hierarchy.
+(For example, the delegated hierarchy might be associated with
+an unprivileged container run by
+.IR cecilia .)
+Even if a cgroup namespace was employed,
+because both hierarchies are owned by the unprivileged user
+.IR cecilia ,
+the following illegitimate actions could be performed:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+A process in the inferior hierarchy could change the
+resource controller settings in the root directory of that hierarchy.
+(These resource controller settings are intended to allow control to
+be exercised from the
+.I parent
+cgroup;
+a process inside the child cgroup should not be allowed to modify them.)
+.IP \[bu]
+A process inside the inferior hierarchy could move processes
+into and out of the inferior hierarchy if the cgroups in the
+superior hierarchy were somehow visible.
+.PP
+Employing the
+.I nsdelegate
+mount option prevents both of these possibilities.
+.PP
+The
+.I nsdelegate
+mount option only has an effect when performed in
+the initial mount namespace;
+in other mount namespaces, the option is silently ignored.
+.PP
+.IR Note :
+On some systems,
+.BR systemd (1)
+automatically mounts the cgroup v2 filesystem.
+In order to experiment with the
+.I nsdelegate
+operation, it may be useful to boot the kernel with
+the following command-line options:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+cgroup_no_v1=all systemd.legacy_systemd_cgroup_controller
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+These options cause the kernel to boot with the cgroups v1 controllers
+disabled (meaning that the controllers are available in the v2 hierarchy),
+and tells
+.BR systemd (1)
+not to mount and use the cgroup v2 hierarchy,
+so that the v2 hierarchy can be manually mounted
+with the desired options after boot-up.
+.\"
+.SS Cgroup delegation containment rules
+Some delegation
+.I containment rules
+ensure that the delegatee can move processes between cgroups within the
+delegated subtree,
+but can't move processes from outside the delegated subtree into
+the subtree or vice versa.
+A nonprivileged process (i.e., the delegatee) can write the PID of
+a "target" process into a
+.I cgroup.procs
+file only if all of the following are true:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The writer has write permission on the
+.I cgroup.procs
+file in the destination cgroup.
+.IP \[bu]
+The writer has write permission on the
+.I cgroup.procs
+file in the nearest common ancestor of the source and destination cgroups.
+Note that in some cases,
+the nearest common ancestor may be the source or destination cgroup itself.
+This requirement is not enforced for cgroups v1 hierarchies,
+with the consequence that containment in v1 is less strict than in v2.
+(For example, in cgroups v1 the user that owns two distinct
+delegated subhierarchies can move a process between the hierarchies.)
+.IP \[bu]
+If the cgroup v2 filesystem was mounted with the
+.I nsdelegate
+option, the writer must be able to see the source and destination cgroups
+from its cgroup namespace.
+.IP \[bu]
+In cgroups v1:
+the effective UID of the writer (i.e., the delegatee) matches the
+real user ID or the saved set-user-ID of the target process.
+Before Linux 4.11,
+.\" commit 576dd464505fc53d501bb94569db76f220104d28
+this requirement also applied in cgroups v2
+(This was a historical requirement inherited from cgroups v1
+that was later deemed unnecessary,
+since the other rules suffice for containment in cgroups v2.)
+.PP
+.IR Note :
+one consequence of these delegation containment rules is that the
+unprivileged delegatee can't place the first process into
+the delegated subtree;
+instead, the delegater must place the first process
+(a process owned by the delegatee) into the delegated subtree.
+.\"
+.SH CGROUPS VERSION 2 THREAD MODE
+Among the restrictions imposed by cgroups v2 that were not present
+in cgroups v1 are the following:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+.IR "No thread-granularity control" :
+all of the threads of a process must be in the same cgroup.
+.IP \[bu]
+.IR "No internal processes" :
+a cgroup can't both have member processes and
+exercise controllers on child cgroups.
+.PP
+Both of these restrictions were added because
+the lack of these restrictions had caused problems
+in cgroups v1.
+In particular, the cgroups v1 ability to allow thread-level granularity
+for cgroup membership made no sense for some controllers.
+(A notable example was the
+.I memory
+controller: since threads share an address space,
+it made no sense to split threads across different
+.I memory
+cgroups.)
+.PP
+Notwithstanding the initial design decision in cgroups v2,
+there were use cases for certain controllers, notably the
+.I cpu
+controller,
+for which thread-level granularity of control was meaningful and useful.
+To accommodate such use cases, Linux 4.14 added
+.I "thread mode"
+for cgroups v2.
+.PP
+Thread mode allows the following:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The creation of
+.I threaded subtrees
+in which the threads of a process may
+be spread across cgroups inside the tree.
+(A threaded subtree may contain multiple multithreaded processes.)
+.IP \[bu]
+The concept of
+.IR "threaded controllers" ,
+which can distribute resources across the cgroups in a threaded subtree.
+.IP \[bu]
+A relaxation of the "no internal processes rule",
+so that, within a threaded subtree,
+a cgroup can both contain member threads and
+exercise resource control over child cgroups.
+.PP
+With the addition of thread mode,
+each nonroot cgroup now contains a new file,
+.IR cgroup.type ,
+that exposes, and in some circumstances can be used to change,
+the "type" of a cgroup.
+This file contains one of the following type values:
+.TP
+.I domain
+This is a normal v2 cgroup that provides process-granularity control.
+If a process is a member of this cgroup,
+then all threads of the process are (by definition) in the same cgroup.
+This is the default cgroup type,
+and provides the same behavior that was provided for
+cgroups in the initial cgroups v2 implementation.
+.TP
+.I threaded
+This cgroup is a member of a threaded subtree.
+Threads can be added to this cgroup,
+and controllers can be enabled for the cgroup.
+.TP
+.I domain threaded
+This is a domain cgroup that serves as the root of a threaded subtree.
+This cgroup type is also known as "threaded root".
+.TP
+.I domain invalid
+This is a cgroup inside a threaded subtree
+that is in an "invalid" state.
+Processes can't be added to the cgroup,
+and controllers can't be enabled for the cgroup.
+The only thing that can be done with this cgroup (other than deleting it)
+is to convert it to a
+.I threaded
+cgroup by writing the string
+.I """threaded"""
+to the
+.I cgroup.type
+file.
+.IP
+The rationale for the existence of this "interim" type
+during the creation of a threaded subtree
+(rather than the kernel simply immediately converting all cgroups
+under the threaded root to the type
+.IR threaded )
+is to allow for
+possible future extensions to the thread mode model
+.\"
+.SS Threaded versus domain controllers
+With the addition of threads mode,
+cgroups v2 now distinguishes two types of resource controllers:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+.I Threaded
+.\" In the kernel source, look for ".threaded[ \t]*= true" in
+.\" initializations of struct cgroup_subsys
+controllers: these controllers support thread-granularity for
+resource control and can be enabled inside threaded subtrees,
+with the result that the corresponding controller-interface files
+appear inside the cgroups in the threaded subtree.
+As at Linux 4.19, the following controllers are threaded:
+.IR cpu ,
+.IR perf_event ,
+and
+.IR pids .
+.IP \[bu]
+.I Domain
+controllers: these controllers support only process granularity
+for resource control.
+From the perspective of a domain controller,
+all threads of a process are always in the same cgroup.
+Domain controllers can't be enabled inside a threaded subtree.
+.\"
+.SS Creating a threaded subtree
+There are two pathways that lead to the creation of a threaded subtree.
+The first pathway proceeds as follows:
+.IP (1) 5
+We write the string
+.I """threaded"""
+to the
+.I cgroup.type
+file of a cgroup
+.I y/z
+that currently has the type
+.IR domain .
+This has the following effects:
+.RS
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The type of the cgroup
+.I y/z
+becomes
+.IR threaded .
+.IP \[bu]
+The type of the parent cgroup,
+.IR y ,
+becomes
+.IR "domain threaded" .
+The parent cgroup is the root of a threaded subtree
+(also known as the "threaded root").
+.IP \[bu]
+All other cgroups under
+.I y
+that were not already of type
+.I threaded
+(because they were inside already existing threaded subtrees
+under the new threaded root)
+are converted to type
+.IR "domain invalid" .
+Any subsequently created cgroups under
+.I y
+will also have the type
+.IR "domain invalid" .
+.RE
+.IP (2)
+We write the string
+.I """threaded"""
+to each of the
+.I domain invalid
+cgroups under
+.IR y ,
+in order to convert them to the type
+.IR threaded .
+As a consequence of this step, all threads under the threaded root
+now have the type
+.I threaded
+and the threaded subtree is now fully usable.
+The requirement to write
+.I """threaded"""
+to each of these cgroups is somewhat cumbersome,
+but allows for possible future extensions to the thread-mode model.
+.PP
+The second way of creating a threaded subtree is as follows:
+.IP (1) 5
+In an existing cgroup,
+.IR z ,
+that currently has the type
+.IR domain ,
+we (1.1) enable one or more threaded controllers and
+(1.2) make a process a member of
+.IR z .
+(These two steps can be done in either order.)
+This has the following consequences:
+.RS
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The type of
+.I z
+becomes
+.IR "domain threaded" .
+.IP \[bu]
+All of the descendant cgroups of
+.I x
+that were not already of type
+.I threaded
+are converted to type
+.IR "domain invalid" .
+.RE
+.IP (2)
+As before, we make the threaded subtree usable by writing the string
+.I """threaded"""
+to each of the
+.I domain invalid
+cgroups under
+.IR y ,
+in order to convert them to the type
+.IR threaded .
+.PP
+One of the consequences of the above pathways to creating a threaded subtree
+is that the threaded root cgroup can be a parent only to
+.I threaded
+(and
+.IR "domain invalid" )
+cgroups.
+The threaded root cgroup can't be a parent of a
+.I domain
+cgroups, and a
+.I threaded
+cgroup
+can't have a sibling that is a
+.I domain
+cgroup.
+.\"
+.SS Using a threaded subtree
+Within a threaded subtree, threaded controllers can be enabled
+in each subgroup whose type has been changed to
+.IR threaded ;
+upon doing so, the corresponding controller interface files
+appear in the children of that cgroup.
+.PP
+A process can be moved into a threaded subtree by writing its PID to the
+.I cgroup.procs
+file in one of the cgroups inside the tree.
+This has the effect of making all of the threads
+in the process members of the corresponding cgroup
+and makes the process a member of the threaded subtree.
+The threads of the process can then be spread across
+the threaded subtree by writing their thread IDs (see
+.BR gettid (2))
+to the
+.I cgroup.threads
+files in different cgroups inside the subtree.
+The threads of a process must all reside in the same threaded subtree.
+.PP
+As with writing to
+.IR cgroup.procs ,
+some containment rules apply when writing to the
+.I cgroup.threads
+file:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The writer must have write permission on the
+cgroup.threads
+file in the destination cgroup.
+.IP \[bu]
+The writer must have write permission on the

+file in the common ancestor of the source and destination cgroups.
+(In some cases,
+the common ancestor may be the source or destination cgroup itself.)
+.IP \[bu]
+The source and destination cgroups must be in the same threaded subtree.
+(Outside a threaded subtree, an attempt to move a thread by writing
+its thread ID to the
+.I cgroup.threads
+file in a different
+.I domain
+cgroup fails with the error
+.BR EOPNOTSUPP .)
+.PP
+The
+.I cgroup.threads
+file is present in each cgroup (including
+.I domain
+cgroups) and can be read in order to discover the set of threads
+that is present in the cgroup.
+The set of thread IDs obtained when reading this file
+is not guaranteed to be ordered or free of duplicates.
+.PP
+The
+.I cgroup.procs
+file in the threaded root shows the PIDs of all processes
+that are members of the threaded subtree.
+The
+.I cgroup.procs
+files in the other cgroups in the subtree are not readable.
+.PP
+Domain controllers can't be enabled in a threaded subtree;
+no controller-interface files appear inside the cgroups underneath the
+threaded root.
+From the point of view of a domain controller,
+threaded subtrees are invisible:
+a multithreaded process inside a threaded subtree appears to a domain
+controller as a process that resides in the threaded root cgroup.
+.PP
+Within a threaded subtree, the "no internal processes" rule does not apply:
+a cgroup can both contain member processes (or thread)
+and exercise controllers on child cgroups.
+.\"
+.SS Rules for writing to cgroup.type and creating threaded subtrees
+A number of rules apply when writing to the
+.I cgroup.type
+file:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Only the string
+.I """threaded"""
+may be written.
+In other words, the only explicit transition that is possible is to convert a
+.I domain
+cgroup to type
+.IR threaded .
+.IP \[bu]
+The effect of writing
+.I """threaded"""
+depends on the current value in
+.IR cgroup.type ,
+as follows:
+.RS
+.IP \[bu] 3
+.I domain
+or
+.IR "domain threaded" :
+start the creation of a threaded subtree
+(whose root is the parent of this cgroup) via

+.RE
+.IP \[bu]
+We can't write to a

+.SH NAME
+charsets \- character set standards and internationalization
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page gives an overview on different character set standards
+and how they were used on Linux before Unicode became ubiquitous.
+Some of this information is still helpful for people working with legacy
+systems and documents.
+.PP
+Standards discussed include such as
+ASCII, GB 2312, ISO 8859, JIS, KOI8-R, KS, and Unicode.
+.PP
+The primary emphasis is on character sets that were actually used by
+locale character sets, not the myriad others that could be found in data
+from other systems.
+.SS ASCII
+ASCII (American Standard Code For Information Interchange) is the original
+7-bit character set, originally designed for American English.
+Also known as US-ASCII.
+It is currently described by the ISO 646:1991 IRV
+(International Reference Version) standard.
+.PP
+Various ASCII variants replacing the dollar sign with other currency
+symbols and replacing punctuation with non-English alphabetic
+characters to cover German, French, Spanish, and others in 7 bits
+emerged.
+All are deprecated;
+glibc does not support locales whose character sets are not true
+supersets of ASCII.
+.PP
+As Unicode, when using UTF-8, is ASCII-compatible, plain ASCII text
+still renders properly on modern UTF-8 using systems.
+.SS ISO 8859
+ISO 8859 is a series of 15 8-bit character sets, all of which have ASCII
+in their low (7-bit) half, invisible control characters in positions
+128 to 159, and 96 fixed-width graphics in positions 160\[en]255.
+.PP
+Of these, the most important is ISO 8859-1
+("Latin Alphabet No. 1" / Latin-1).
+It was widely adopted and supported by different systems,
+and is gradually being replaced with Unicode.
+The ISO 8859-1 characters are also the first 256 characters of Unicode.
+.PP
+Console support for the other 8859 character sets is available under
+Linux through user-mode utilities (such as
+.BR setfont (8))
+that modify keyboard bindings and the EGA graphics
+table and employ the "user mapping" font table in the console
+driver.
+.PP
+Here are brief descriptions of each character set:
+.TP
+8859-1 (Latin-1)
+Latin-1 covers many European languages such as Albanian, Basque,
+Danish, English, Faroese, Galician, Icelandic, Irish, Italian,
+Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish.
+The lack of the ligatures
+Dutch IJ/ij,
+French œ,
+and „German“ quotation marks
+was considered tolerable.
+.TP
+8859-2 (Latin-2)
+Latin-2 supports many Latin-written Central and East European
+languages such as Bosnian, Croatian, Czech, German, Hungarian, Polish,
+Slovak, and Slovene.
+Replacing Romanian ș/ț with ş/ţ
+was considered tolerable.
+.TP
+8859-3 (Latin-3)
+Latin-3 was designed to cover of Esperanto, Maltese, and Turkish, but
+8859-9 later superseded it for Turkish.
+.TP
+8859-4 (Latin-4)
+Latin-4 introduced letters for North European languages such as
+Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian, but was superseded by 8859-10 and
+8859-13.
+.TP
+8859-5
+Cyrillic letters supporting Bulgarian, Byelorussian, Macedonian,
+Russian, Serbian, and (almost completely) Ukrainian.
+It was never widely used, see the discussion of KOI8-R/KOI8-U below.
+.TP
+8859-6
+Was created for Arabic.
+The 8859-6 glyph table is a fixed font of separate
+letter forms, but a proper display engine should combine these
+using the proper initial, medial, and final forms.
+.TP
+8859-7
+Was created for Modern Greek in 1987, updated in 2003.
+.TP
+8859-8
+Supports Modern Hebrew without niqud (punctuation signs).
+Niqud and full-fledged Biblical Hebrew were outside the scope of this
+character set.
+.TP
+8859-9 (Latin-5)
+This is a variant of Latin-1 that replaces Icelandic letters with
+Turkish ones.
+.TP
+8859-10 (Latin-6)
+Latin-6 added the Inuit (Greenlandic) and Sami (Lappish) letters that were
+missing in Latin-4 to cover the entire Nordic area.
+.TP
+8859-11
+Supports the Thai alphabet and is nearly identical to the TIS-620
+standard.
+.TP
+8859-12
+This character set does not exist.
+.TP
+8859-13 (Latin-7)
+Supports the Baltic Rim languages; in particular, it includes Latvian
+characters not found in Latin-4.
+.TP
+8859-14 (Latin-8)
+This is the Celtic character set, covering Old Irish, Manx, Gaelic,
+Welsh, Cornish, and Breton.
+.TP
+8859-15 (Latin-9)
+Latin-9 is similar to the widely used Latin-1 but replaces some less
+common symbols with the Euro sign and French and Finnish letters that
+were missing in Latin-1.
+.TP
+8859-16 (Latin-10)
+This character set covers many Southeast European languages,
+and most importantly supports Romanian more completely than Latin-2.
+.SS KOI8-R / KOI8-U
+KOI8-R is a non-ISO character set popular in Russia before Unicode.
+The lower half is ASCII;
+the upper is a Cyrillic character set somewhat better designed than
+ISO 8859-5.
+KOI8-U, based on KOI8-R, has better support for Ukrainian.
+Neither of these sets are ISO-2022 compatible,
+unlike the ISO 8859 series.
+.PP
+Console support for KOI8-R is available under Linux through user-mode
+utilities that modify keyboard bindings and the EGA graphics table,
+and employ the "user mapping" font table in the console driver.
+.SS GB 2312
+GB 2312 is a mainland Chinese national standard character set used
+to express simplified Chinese.
+Just like JIS X 0208, characters are
+mapped into a 94x94 two-byte matrix used to construct EUC-CN.
+EUC-CN
+is the most important encoding for Linux and includes ASCII and
+GB 2312.
+Note that EUC-CN is often called as GB, GB 2312, or CN-GB.
+.SS Big5
+Big5 was a popular character set in Taiwan to express traditional
+Chinese.
+(Big5 is both a character set and an encoding.)
+It is a superset of ASCII.
+Non-ASCII characters are expressed in two bytes.
+Bytes 0xa1\[en]0xfe are used as leading bytes for two-byte characters.
+Big5 and its extension were widely used in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
+It is not ISO 2022 compliant.
+.\" Thanks to Tomohiro KUBOTA for the following sections about
+.\" national standards.
+.SS JIS X 0208
+JIS X 0208 is a Japanese national standard character set.
+Though there are some more Japanese national standard character sets (like
+JIS X 0201, JIS X 0212, and JIS X 0213), this is the most important one.
+Characters are mapped into a 94x94 two-byte matrix,
+whose each byte is in the range 0x21\[en]0x7e.
+Note that JIS X 0208 is a character set, not an encoding.
+This means that JIS X 0208
+itself is not used for expressing text data.
+JIS X 0208 is used
+as a component to construct encodings such as EUC-JP, Shift_JIS,
+and ISO-2022-JP.
+EUC-JP is the most important encoding for Linux
+and includes ASCII and JIS X 0208.
+In EUC-JP, JIS X 0208
+characters are expressed in two bytes, each of which is the
+JIS X 0208 code plus 0x80.
+.SS KS X 1001
+KS X 1001 is a Korean national standard character set.
+Just as
+JIS X 0208, characters are mapped into a 94x94 two-byte matrix.
+KS X 1001 is used like JIS X 0208, as a component
+to construct encodings such as EUC-KR, Johab, and ISO-2022-KR.
+EUC-KR is the most important encoding for Linux and includes
+ASCII and KS X 1001.
+KS C 5601 is an older name for KS X 1001.
+.SS ISO 2022 and ISO 4873
+The ISO 2022 and 4873 standards describe a font-control model
+based on VT100 practice.
+This model is (partially) supported
+by the Linux kernel and by
+.BR xterm (1).
+Several ISO 2022-based character encodings have been defined,
+especially for Japanese.
+.PP
+There are 4 graphic character sets, called G0, G1, G2, and G3,
+and one of them is the current character set for codes with
+high bit zero (initially G0), and one of them is the current
+character set for codes with high bit one (initially G1).
+Each graphic character set has 94 or 96 characters, and is
+essentially a 7-bit character set.
+It uses codes either
+040\[en]0177 (041\[en]0176) or 0240\[en]0377 (0241\[en]0376).
+G0 always has size 94 and uses codes 041\[en]0176.
+.PP
+Switching between character sets is done using the shift functions
+\fB\[ha]N\fP (SO or LS1), \fB\[ha]O\fP (SI or LS0), ESC n (LS2), ESC o (LS3),
+ESC N (SS2), ESC O (SS3), ESC \[ti] (LS1R), ESC } (LS2R), ESC | (LS3R).
+The function LS\fIn\fP makes character set G\fIn\fP the current one
+for codes with high bit zero.
+The function LS\fIn\fPR makes character set G\fIn\fP the current one
+for codes with high bit one.
+The function SS\fIn\fP makes character set G\fIn\fP (\fIn\fP=2 or 3)
+the current one for the next character only (regardless of the value
+of its high order bit).
+.PP
+A 94-character set is designated as G\fIn\fP character set
+by an escape sequence ESC ( xx (for G0), ESC ) xx (for G1),
+ESC * xx (for G2), ESC + xx (for G3), where xx is a symbol
+or a pair of symbols found in the ISO 2375 International
+Register of Coded Character Sets.
+For example, ESC ( @ selects the ISO 646 character set as G0,
+ESC ( A selects the UK standard character set (with pound
+instead of number sign), ESC ( B selects ASCII (with dollar
+instead of currency sign), ESC ( M selects a character set
+for African languages, ESC ( ! A selects the Cuban character
+set, and so on.
+.PP
+A 96-character set is designated as G\fIn\fP character set
+by an escape sequence ESC \- xx (for G1), ESC . xx (for G2)
+or ESC / xx (for G3).
+For example, ESC \- G selects the Hebrew alphabet as G1.
+.PP
+A multibyte character set is designated as G\fIn\fP character set
+by an escape sequence ESC $ xx or ESC $ ( xx (for G0),
+ESC $ ) xx (for G1), ESC $ * xx (for G2), ESC $ + xx (for G3).
+For example, ESC $ ( C selects the Korean character set for G0.
+The Japanese character set selected by ESC $ B has a more
+recent version selected by ESC & @ ESC $ B.
+.PP
+ISO 4873 stipulates a narrower use of character sets, where G0
+is fixed (always ASCII), so that G1, G2, and G3
+can be invoked only for codes with the high order bit set.
+In particular, \fB\[ha]N\fP and \fB\[ha]O\fP are not used anymore, ESC ( xx
+can be used only with xx=B, and ESC ) xx, ESC * xx, ESC + xx
+are equivalent to ESC \- xx, ESC . xx, ESC / xx, respectively.
+.SS TIS-620
+TIS-620 is a Thai national standard character set and a superset
+of ASCII.
+In the same fashion as the ISO 8859 series, Thai characters are mapped into
+0xa1\[en]0xfe.
+.SS Unicode
+Unicode (ISO/IEC 10646) is a standard which aims to unambiguously represent
+every character in every human language.
+Unicode's structure permits 20.1 bits to encode every character.
+Since most computers don't include 20.1-bit integers, Unicode is
+usually encoded as 32-bit integers internally and either a series of
+16-bit integers (UTF-16) (needing two 16-bit integers only when
+encoding certain rare characters) or a series of 8-bit bytes (UTF-8).
+.PP
+Linux represents Unicode using the 8-bit Unicode Transformation Format
+(UTF-8).
+UTF-8 is a variable length encoding of Unicode.
+It uses 1
+byte to code 7 bits, 2 bytes for 11 bits, 3 bytes for 16 bits, 4 bytes
+for 21 bits, 5 bytes for 26 bits, 6 bytes for 31 bits.
+.PP
+Let 0,1,x stand for a zero, one, or arbitrary bit.
+A byte 0xxxxxxx
+stands for the Unicode 00000000 0xxxxxxx which codes the same symbol
+as the ASCII 0xxxxxxx.
+Thus, ASCII goes unchanged into UTF-8, and
+people using only ASCII do not notice any change: not in code, and not
+in file size.
+.PP
+A byte 110xxxxx is the start of a 2-byte code, and 110xxxxx 10yyyyyy
+is assembled into 00000xxx xxyyyyyy.
+A byte 1110xxxx is the start
+of a 3-byte code, and 1110xxxx 10yyyyyy 10zzzzzz is assembled
+into xxxxyyyy yyzzzzzz.
+(When UTF-8 is used to code the 31-bit ISO/IEC 10646
+then this progression continues up to 6-byte codes.)
+.PP
+For most texts in ISO 8859 character sets, this means that the
+characters outside of ASCII are now coded with two bytes.
+This tends
+to expand ordinary text files by only one or two percent.
+For Russian
+or Greek texts, this expands ordinary text files by 100%, since text in
+those languages is mostly outside of ASCII.
+For Japanese users this means
+that the 16-bit codes now in common use will take three bytes.
+While there are algorithmic conversions from some character sets
+(especially ISO 8859-1) to Unicode, general conversion requires
+carrying around conversion tables, which can be quite large for 16-bit
+codes.
+.PP
+Note that UTF-8 is self-synchronizing:
+10xxxxxx is a tail,
+any other byte is the head of a code.
+Note that the only way ASCII bytes occur in a UTF-8 stream,
+is as themselves.
+In particular,
+there are no embedded NULs (\[aq]\e0\[aq]) or \[aq]/\[aq]s
+that form part of some larger code.
+.PP
+Since ASCII, and, in particular, NUL and \[aq]/\[aq], are unchanged, the
+kernel does not notice that UTF-8 is being used.
+It does not care at
+all what the bytes it is handling stand for.
+.PP
+Rendering of Unicode data streams is typically handled through
+"subfont" tables which map a subset of Unicode to glyphs.
+Internally
+the kernel uses Unicode to describe the subfont loaded in video RAM.
+This means that in the Linux console in UTF-8 mode, one can use a character
+set with 512 different symbols.
+This is not enough for Japanese, Chinese, and
+Korean, but it is enough for most other purposes.

+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Complex numbers are numbers of the form z = a+b*i, where a and b are
+real numbers and i = sqrt(\-1), so that i*i = \-1.
+.PP
+There are other ways to represent that number.
+The pair (a,b) of real
+numbers may be viewed as a point in the plane, given by X- and
+Y-coordinates.
+This same point may also be described by giving
+the pair of real numbers (r,phi), where r is the distance to the origin O,
+and phi the angle between the X-axis and the line Oz.
+Now
+z = r*exp(i*phi) = r*(cos(phi)+i*sin(phi)).
+.PP
+The basic operations are defined on z = a+b*i and w = c+d*i as:
+.TP
+.B addition: z+w = (a+c) + (b+d)*i
+.TP
+.B multiplication: z*w = (a*c \- b*d) + (a*d + b*c)*i
+.TP
+.B division: z/w = ((a*c + b*d)/(c*c + d*d)) + ((b*c \- a*d)/(c*c + d*d))*i
+.PP
+Nearly all math function have a complex counterpart but there are
+some complex-only functions.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+Your C-compiler can work with complex numbers if it supports the C99 standard.
+The imaginary unit is represented by I.

+.TH cpuset 7 2023-07-18 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+cpuset \- confine processes to processor and memory node subsets
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The cpuset filesystem is a pseudo-filesystem interface
+to the kernel cpuset mechanism,
+which is used to control the processor placement
+and memory placement of processes.
+It is commonly mounted at
+.IR /dev/cpuset .
+.PP
+On systems with kernels compiled with built in support for cpusets,
+all processes are attached to a cpuset, and cpusets are always present.
+If a system supports cpusets, then it will have the entry
+.B nodev cpuset
+in the file
+.IR /proc/filesystems .
+By mounting the cpuset filesystem (see the
+.B EXAMPLES
+section below),
+the administrator can configure the cpusets on a system
+to control the processor and memory placement of processes
+on that system.
+By default, if the cpuset configuration
+on a system is not modified or if the cpuset filesystem
+is not even mounted, then the cpuset mechanism,
+though present, has no effect on the system's behavior.
+.PP
+A cpuset defines a list of CPUs and memory nodes.
+.PP
+The CPUs of a system include all the logical processing
+units on which a process can execute, including, if present,
+multiple processor cores within a package and Hyper-Threads
+within a processor core.
+Memory nodes include all distinct
+banks of main memory; small and SMP systems typically have
+just one memory node that contains all the system's main memory,
+while NUMA (non-uniform memory access) systems have multiple memory nodes.
+.PP
+Cpusets are represented as directories in a hierarchical
+pseudo-filesystem, where the top directory in the hierarchy
+.RI ( /dev/cpuset )
+represents the entire system (all online CPUs and memory nodes)
+and any cpuset that is the child (descendant) of
+another parent cpuset contains a subset of that parent's
+CPUs and memory nodes.
+The directories and files representing cpusets have normal
+filesystem permissions.
+.PP
+Every process in the system belongs to exactly one cpuset.
+A process is confined to run only on the CPUs in
+the cpuset it belongs to, and to allocate memory only
+on the memory nodes in that cpuset.
+When a process
+.BR fork (2)s,
+the child process is placed in the same cpuset as its parent.
+With sufficient privilege, a process may be moved from one
+cpuset to another and the allowed CPUs and memory nodes
+of an existing cpuset may be changed.
+.PP
+When the system begins booting, a single cpuset is
+defined that includes all CPUs and memory nodes on the
+system, and all processes are in that cpuset.
+During the boot process, or later during normal system operation,
+other cpusets may be created, as subdirectories of this top cpuset,
+under the control of the system administrator,
+and processes may be placed in these other cpusets.
+.PP
+Cpusets are integrated with the
+.BR sched_setaffinity (2)
+scheduling affinity mechanism and the
+.BR mbind (2)
+and
+.BR set_mempolicy (2)
+memory-placement mechanisms in the kernel.
+Neither of these mechanisms let a process make use
+of a CPU or memory node that is not allowed by that process's cpuset.
+If changes to a process's cpuset placement conflict with these
+other mechanisms, then cpuset placement is enforced
+even if it means overriding these other mechanisms.
+The kernel accomplishes this overriding by silently
+restricting the CPUs and memory nodes requested by
+these other mechanisms to those allowed by the
+invoking process's cpuset.
+This can result in these
+other calls returning an error, if for example, such
+a call ends up requesting an empty set of CPUs or
+memory nodes, after that request is restricted to
+the invoking process's cpuset.
+.PP
+Typically, a cpuset is used to manage
+the CPU and memory-node confinement for a set of
+cooperating processes such as a batch scheduler job, and these
+other mechanisms are used to manage the placement of
+individual processes or memory regions within that set or job.
+.SH FILES
+Each directory below
+.I /dev/cpuset
+represents a cpuset and contains a fixed set of pseudo-files
+describing the state of that cpuset.
+.PP
+New cpusets are created using the
+.BR mkdir (2)
+system call or the
+.BR mkdir (1)
+command.
+The properties of a cpuset, such as its flags, allowed
+CPUs and memory nodes, and attached processes, are queried and modified
+by reading or writing to the appropriate file in that cpuset's directory,
+as listed below.
+.PP
+The pseudo-files in each cpuset directory are automatically created when
+the cpuset is created, as a result of the
+.BR mkdir (2)
+invocation.
+It is not possible to directly add or remove these pseudo-files.
+.PP
+A cpuset directory that contains no child cpuset directories,
+and has no attached processes, can be removed using
+.BR rmdir (2)
+or
+.BR rmdir (1).
+It is not necessary, or possible,
+to remove the pseudo-files inside the directory before removing it.
+.PP
+The pseudo-files in each cpuset directory are
+small text files that may be read and
+written using traditional shell utilities such as
+.BR cat (1),
+and
+.BR echo (1),
+or from a program by using file I/O library functions or system calls,
+such as
+.BR open (2),
+.BR read (2),
+.BR write (2),
+and
+.BR close (2).
+.PP
+The pseudo-files in a cpuset directory represent internal kernel
+state and do not have any persistent image on disk.
+Each of these per-cpuset files is listed and described below.
+.\" ====================== tasks ======================
+.TP
+.I tasks
+List of the process IDs (PIDs) of the processes in that cpuset.
+The list is formatted as a series of ASCII
+decimal numbers, each followed by a newline.
+A process may be added to a cpuset (automatically removing
+it from the cpuset that previously contained it) by writing its
+PID to that cpuset's
+.I tasks
+file (with or without a trailing newline).
+.IP
+.B Warning:
+only one PID may be written to the
+.I tasks
+file at a time.
+If a string is written that contains more
+than one PID, only the first one will be used.
+.\" =================== notify_on_release ===================
+.TP
+.I notify_on_release
+Flag (0 or 1).
+If set (1), that cpuset will receive special handling
+after it is released, that is, after all processes cease using
+it (i.e., terminate or are moved to a different cpuset)
+and all child cpuset directories have been removed.
+See the \fBNotify On Release\fR section, below.
+.\" ====================== cpus ======================
+.TP
+.I cpuset.cpus
+List of the physical numbers of the CPUs on which processes
+in that cpuset are allowed to execute.
+See \fBList Format\fR below for a description of the
+format of
+.IR cpus .
+.IP
+The CPUs allowed to a cpuset may be changed by
+writing a new list to its
+.I cpus
+file.
+.\" ==================== cpu_exclusive ====================
+.TP
+.I cpuset.cpu_exclusive
+Flag (0 or 1).
+If set (1), the cpuset has exclusive use of
+its CPUs (no sibling or cousin cpuset may overlap CPUs).
+By default, this is off (0).
+Newly created cpusets also initially default this to off (0).
+.IP
+Two cpusets are
+.I sibling
+cpusets if they share the same parent cpuset in the
+.I /dev/cpuset
+hierarchy.
+Two cpusets are
+.I cousin
+cpusets if neither is the ancestor of the other.
+Regardless of the
+.I cpu_exclusive
+setting, if one cpuset is the ancestor of another,
+and if both of these cpusets have nonempty
+.IR cpus ,
+then their
+.I cpus
+must overlap, because the
+.I cpus
+of any cpuset are always a subset of the
+.I cpus
+of its parent cpuset.
+.\" ====================== mems ======================
+.TP
+.I cpuset.mems
+List of memory nodes on which processes in this cpuset are
+allowed to allocate memory.
+See \fBList Format\fR below for a description of the
+format of
+.IR mems .
+.\" ==================== mem_exclusive ====================
+.TP
+.I cpuset.mem_exclusive
+Flag (0 or 1).
+If set (1), the cpuset has exclusive use of
+its memory nodes (no sibling or cousin may overlap).
+Also if set (1), the cpuset is a \fBHardwall\fR cpuset (see below).
+By default, this is off (0).
+Newly created cpusets also initially default this to off (0).
+.IP
+Regardless of the
+.I mem_exclusive
+setting, if one cpuset is the ancestor of another,
+then their memory nodes must overlap, because the memory
+nodes of any cpuset are always a subset of the memory nodes
+of that cpuset's parent cpuset.
+.\" ==================== mem_hardwall ====================
+.TP
+.IR cpuset.mem_hardwall " (since Linux 2.6.26)"
+Flag (0 or 1).
+If set (1), the cpuset is a \fBHardwall\fR cpuset (see below).
+Unlike \fBmem_exclusive\fR,
+there is no constraint on whether cpusets
+marked \fBmem_hardwall\fR may have overlapping
+memory nodes with sibling or cousin cpusets.
+By default, this is off (0).
+Newly created cpusets also initially default this to off (0).
+.\" ==================== memory_migrate ====================
+.TP
+.IR cpuset.memory_migrate " (since Linux 2.6.16)"
+Flag (0 or 1).
+If set (1), then memory migration is enabled.
+By default, this is off (0).
+See the \fBMemory Migration\fR section, below.
+.\" ==================== memory_pressure ====================
+.TP
+.IR cpuset.memory_pressure " (since Linux 2.6.16)"
+A measure of how much memory pressure the processes in this
+cpuset are causing.
+See the \fBMemory Pressure\fR section, below.
+Unless
+.I memory_pressure_enabled
+is enabled, always has value zero (0).
+This file is read-only.
+See the
+.B WARNINGS
+section, below.
+.\" ================= memory_pressure_enabled =================
+.TP
+.IR cpuset.memory_pressure_enabled " (since Linux 2.6.16)"
+Flag (0 or 1).
+This file is present only in the root cpuset, normally
+.IR /dev/cpuset .
+If set (1), the
+.I memory_pressure
+calculations are enabled for all cpusets in the system.
+By default, this is off (0).
+See the
+\fBMemory Pressure\fR section, below.
+.\" ================== memory_spread_page ==================
+.TP
+.IR cpuset.memory_spread_page " (since Linux 2.6.17)"
+Flag (0 or 1).
+If set (1), pages in the kernel page cache
+(filesystem buffers) are uniformly spread across the cpuset.
+By default, this is off (0) in the top cpuset,
+and inherited from the parent cpuset in
+newly created cpusets.
+See the \fBMemory Spread\fR section, below.
+.\" ================== memory_spread_slab ==================
+.TP
+.IR cpuset.memory_spread_slab " (since Linux 2.6.17)"
+Flag (0 or 1).
+If set (1), the kernel slab caches
+for file I/O (directory and inode structures) are
+uniformly spread across the cpuset.
+By default, is off (0) in the top cpuset,
+and inherited from the parent cpuset in
+newly created cpusets.
+See the \fBMemory Spread\fR section, below.
+.\" ================== sched_load_balance ==================
+.TP
+.IR cpuset.sched_load_balance " (since Linux 2.6.24)"
+Flag (0 or 1).
+If set (1, the default) the kernel will
+automatically load balance processes in that cpuset over
+the allowed CPUs in that cpuset.
+If cleared (0) the
+kernel will avoid load balancing processes in this cpuset,
+.I unless
+some other cpuset with overlapping CPUs has its
+.I sched_load_balance
+flag set.
+See \fBScheduler Load Balancing\fR, below, for further details.
+.\" ================== sched_relax_domain_level ==================
+.TP
+.IR cpuset.sched_relax_domain_level " (since Linux 2.6.26)"
+Integer, between \-1 and a small positive value.
+The
+.I sched_relax_domain_level
+controls the width of the range of CPUs over which the kernel scheduler
+performs immediate rebalancing of runnable tasks across CPUs.
+If
+.I sched_load_balance
+is disabled, then the setting of
+.I sched_relax_domain_level
+does not matter, as no such load balancing is done.
+If
+.I sched_load_balance
+is enabled, then the higher the value of the
+.IR sched_relax_domain_level ,
+the wider
+the range of CPUs over which immediate load balancing is attempted.
+See \fBScheduler Relax Domain Level\fR, below, for further details.
+.\" ================== proc cpuset ==================
+.PP
+In addition to the above pseudo-files in each directory below
+.IR /dev/cpuset ,
+each process has a pseudo-file,
+.IR /proc/ pid /cpuset ,
+that displays the path of the process's cpuset directory
+relative to the root of the cpuset filesystem.
+.\" ================== proc status ==================
+.PP
+Also the
+.IR /proc/ pid /status
+file for each process has four added lines,
+displaying the process's
+.I Cpus_allowed
+(on which CPUs it may be scheduled) and
+.I Mems_allowed
+(on which memory nodes it may obtain memory),
+in the two formats \fBMask Format\fR and \fBList Format\fR (see below)
+as shown in the following example:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+Cpus_allowed: ffffffff,ffffffff,ffffffff,ffffffff
+Cpus_allowed_list: 0\-127
+Mems_allowed: ffffffff,ffffffff
+Mems_allowed_list: 0\-63
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+The "allowed" fields were added in Linux 2.6.24;
+the "allowed_list" fields were added in Linux 2.6.26.
+.\" ================== EXTENDED CAPABILITIES ==================
+.SH EXTENDED CAPABILITIES
+In addition to controlling which
+.I cpus
+and
+.I mems
+a process is allowed to use, cpusets provide the following
+extended capabilities.
+.\" ================== Exclusive Cpusets ==================
+.SS Exclusive cpusets
+If a cpuset is marked
+.I cpu_exclusive
+or

+.\" ================== Notify On Release ==================
+.SS Notify on release
+If the
+.I notify_on_release
+flag is enabled (1) in a cpuset,
+then whenever the last process in the cpuset leaves
+(exits or attaches to some other cpuset)
+and the last child cpuset of that cpuset is removed,
+the kernel will run the command
+.IR /sbin/cpuset_release_agent ,
+supplying the pathname (relative to the mount point of the
+cpuset filesystem) of the abandoned cpuset.
+This enables automatic removal of abandoned cpusets.
+.PP
+The default value of
+.I notify_on_release
+in the root cpuset at system boot is disabled (0).
+The default value of other cpusets at creation
+is the current value of their parent's
+.I notify_on_release
+setting.
+.PP
+The command
+.I /sbin/cpuset_release_agent
+is invoked, with the name
+.RI ( /dev/cpuset
+relative path)
+of the to-be-released cpuset in
+.IR argv[1] .
+.PP
+The usual contents of the command
+.I /sbin/cpuset_release_agent
+is simply the shell script:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+#!/bin/sh
+rmdir /dev/cpuset/$1
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+As with other flag values below, this flag can
+be changed by writing an ASCII
+number 0 or 1 (with optional trailing newline)
+into the file, to clear or set the flag, respectively.
+.\" ================== Memory Pressure ==================
+.SS Memory pressure
+The
+.I memory_pressure
+of a cpuset provides a simple per-cpuset running average of
+the rate that the processes in a cpuset are attempting to free up in-use
+memory on the nodes of the cpuset to satisfy additional memory requests.
+.PP
+This enables batch managers that are monitoring jobs running in dedicated
+cpusets to efficiently detect what level of memory pressure that job
+is causing.
+.PP
+This is useful both on tightly managed systems running a wide mix of
+submitted jobs, which may choose to terminate or reprioritize jobs that
+are trying to use more memory than allowed on the nodes assigned them,
+and with tightly coupled, long-running, massively parallel scientific
+computing jobs that will dramatically fail to meet required performance
+goals if they start to use more memory than allowed to them.
+.PP
+This mechanism provides a very economical way for the batch manager
+to monitor a cpuset for signs of memory pressure.
+It's up to the batch manager or other user code to decide
+what action to take if it detects signs of memory pressure.
+.PP
+Unless memory pressure calculation is enabled by setting the pseudo-file
+.IR /dev/cpuset/cpuset.memory_pressure_enabled ,
+it is not computed for any cpuset, and reads from any
+.I memory_pressure
+always return zero, as represented by the ASCII string "0\en".
+See the \fBWARNINGS\fR section, below.
+.PP
+A per-cpuset, running average is employed for the following reasons:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Because this meter is per-cpuset rather than per-process or per virtual
+memory region, the system load imposed by a batch scheduler monitoring
+this metric is sharply reduced on large systems, because a scan of
+the tasklist can be avoided on each set of queries.
+.IP \[bu]
+Because this meter is a running average rather than an accumulating
+counter, a batch scheduler can detect memory pressure with a
+single read, instead of having to read and accumulate results
+for a period of time.
+.IP \[bu]
+Because this meter is per-cpuset rather than per-process,
+the batch scheduler can obtain the key information\[em]memory
+pressure in a cpuset\[em]with a single read, rather than having to
+query and accumulate results over all the (dynamically changing)
+set of processes in the cpuset.
+.PP
+The
+.I memory_pressure
+of a cpuset is calculated using a per-cpuset simple digital filter
+that is kept within the kernel.
+For each cpuset, this filter tracks
+the recent rate at which processes attached to that cpuset enter the
+kernel direct reclaim code.
+.PP
+The kernel direct reclaim code is entered whenever a process has to
+satisfy a memory page request by first finding some other page to
+repurpose, due to lack of any readily available already free pages.
+Dirty filesystem pages are repurposed by first writing them
+to disk.
+Unmodified filesystem buffer pages are repurposed
+by simply dropping them, though if that page is needed again, it
+will have to be reread from disk.
+.PP
+The
+.I cpuset.memory_pressure
+file provides an integer number representing the recent (half-life of
+10 seconds) rate of entries to the direct reclaim code caused by any
+process in the cpuset, in units of reclaims attempted per second,
+times 1000.
+.\" ================== Memory Spread ==================
+.SS Memory spread
+There are two Boolean flag files per cpuset that control where the
+kernel allocates pages for the filesystem buffers and related
+in-kernel data structures.
+They are called
+.I cpuset.memory_spread_page
+and
+.IR cpuset.memory_spread_slab .
+.PP
+If the per-cpuset Boolean flag file
+.I cpuset.memory_spread_page
+is set, then
+the kernel will spread the filesystem buffers (page cache) evenly
+over all the nodes that the faulting process is allowed to use, instead
+of preferring to put those pages on the node where the process is running.
+.PP
+If the per-cpuset Boolean flag file
+.I cpuset.memory_spread_slab
+is set,
+then the kernel will spread some filesystem-related slab caches,
+such as those for inodes and directory entries, evenly over all the nodes
+that the faulting process is allowed to use, instead of preferring to
+put those pages on the node where the process is running.
+.PP
+The setting of these flags does not affect the data segment
+(see
+.BR brk (2))
+or stack segment pages of a process.
+.PP
+By default, both kinds of memory spreading are off and the kernel
+prefers to allocate memory pages on the node local to where the
+requesting process is running.
+If that node is not allowed by the
+process's NUMA memory policy or cpuset configuration or if there are
+insufficient free memory pages on that node, then the kernel looks
+for the nearest node that is allowed and has sufficient free memory.
+.PP
+When new cpusets are created, they inherit the memory spread settings
+of their parent.
+.PP
+Setting memory spreading causes allocations for the affected page or
+slab caches to ignore the process's NUMA memory policy and be spread
+instead.
+However, the effect of these changes in memory placement
+caused by cpuset-specified memory spreading is hidden from the
+.BR mbind (2)
+or
+.BR set_mempolicy (2)
+calls.
+These two NUMA memory policy calls always appear to behave as if
+no cpuset-specified memory spreading is in effect, even if it is.
+If cpuset memory spreading is subsequently turned off, the NUMA
+memory policy most recently specified by these calls is automatically
+reapplied.
+.PP
+Both
+.I cpuset.memory_spread_page
+and
+.I cpuset.memory_spread_slab
+are Boolean flag files.
+By default, they contain "0", meaning that the feature is off
+for that cpuset.
+If a "1" is written to that file, that turns the named feature on.
+.PP
+Cpuset-specified memory spreading behaves similarly to what is known
+(in other contexts) as round-robin or interleave memory placement.
+.PP
+Cpuset-specified memory spreading can provide substantial performance
+improvements for jobs that:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+need to place thread-local data on
+memory nodes close to the CPUs which are running the threads that most
+frequently access that data; but also
+.IP \[bu]
+need to access large filesystem data sets that must to be spread
+across the several nodes in the job's cpuset in order to fit.
+.PP
+Without this policy,
+the memory allocation across the nodes in the job's cpuset
+can become very uneven,
+especially for jobs that might have just a single
+thread initializing or reading in the data set.
+.\" ================== Memory Migration ==================
+.SS Memory migration
+Normally, under the default setting (disabled) of
+.IR cpuset.memory_migrate ,
+once a page is allocated (given a physical page
+of main memory), then that page stays on whatever node it
+was allocated, so long as it remains allocated, even if the
+cpuset's memory-placement policy
+.I mems
+subsequently changes.
+.PP
+When memory migration is enabled in a cpuset, if the
+.I mems
+setting of the cpuset is changed, then any memory page in use by any
+process in the cpuset that is on a memory node that is no longer
+allowed will be migrated to a memory node that is allowed.
+.PP
+Furthermore, if a process is moved into a cpuset with
+.I memory_migrate
+enabled, any memory pages it uses that were on memory nodes allowed
+in its previous cpuset, but which are not allowed in its new cpuset,
+will be migrated to a memory node allowed in the new cpuset.
+.PP
+The relative placement of a migrated page within
+the cpuset is preserved during these migration operations if possible.
+For example,
+if the page was on the second valid node of the prior cpuset,
+then the page will be placed on the second valid node of the new cpuset,
+if possible.
+.\" ================== Scheduler Load Balancing ==================
+.SS Scheduler load balancing
+The kernel scheduler automatically load balances processes.
+If one CPU is underutilized,
+the kernel will look for processes on other more
+overloaded CPUs and move those processes to the underutilized CPU,
+within the constraints of such placement mechanisms as cpusets and
+.BR sched_setaffinity (2).
+.PP
+The algorithmic cost of load balancing and its impact on key shared
+kernel data structures such as the process list increases more than
+linearly with the number of CPUs being balanced.
+For example, it
+costs more to load balance across one large set of CPUs than it does
+to balance across two smaller sets of CPUs, each of half the size
+of the larger set.
+(The precise relationship between the number of CPUs being balanced
+and the cost of load balancing depends
+on implementation details of the kernel process scheduler, which is
+subject to change over time, as improved kernel scheduler algorithms
+are implemented.)
+.PP
+The per-cpuset flag
+.I sched_load_balance
+provides a mechanism to suppress this automatic scheduler load
+balancing in cases where it is not needed and suppressing it would have
+worthwhile performance benefits.
+.PP
+By default, load balancing is done across all CPUs, except those
+marked isolated using the kernel boot time "isolcpus=" argument.
+(See \fBScheduler Relax Domain Level\fR, below, to change this default.)
+.PP
+This default load balancing across all CPUs is not well suited to
+the following two situations:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+On large systems, load balancing across many CPUs is expensive.
+If the system is managed using cpusets to place independent jobs
+on separate sets of CPUs, full load balancing is unnecessary.
+.IP \[bu]
+Systems supporting real-time on some CPUs need to minimize
+system overhead on those CPUs, including avoiding process load
+balancing if that is not needed.
+.PP
+When the per-cpuset flag
+.I sched_load_balance
+is enabled (the default setting),
+it requests load balancing across
+all the CPUs in that cpuset's allowed CPUs,
+ensuring that load balancing can move a process (not otherwise pinned,
+as by
+.BR sched_setaffinity (2))
+from any CPU in that cpuset to any other.
+.PP
+When the per-cpuset flag
+.I sched_load_balance
+is disabled, then the
+scheduler will avoid load balancing across the CPUs in that cpuset,
+\fIexcept\fR in so far as is necessary because some overlapping cpuset
+has
+.I sched_load_balance
+enabled.
+.PP
+So, for example, if the top cpuset has the flag
+.I sched_load_balance
+enabled, then the scheduler will load balance across all
+CPUs, and the setting of the
+.I sched_load_balance
+flag in other cpusets has no effect,
+as we're already fully load balancing.
+.PP
+Therefore in the above two situations, the flag
+.I sched_load_balance
+should be disabled in the top cpuset, and only some of the smaller,
+child cpusets would have this flag enabled.
+.PP
+When doing this, you don't usually want to leave any unpinned processes in
+the top cpuset that might use nontrivial amounts of CPU, as such processes
+may be artificially constrained to some subset of CPUs, depending on
+the particulars of this flag setting in descendant cpusets.
+Even if such a process could use spare CPU cycles in some other CPUs,
+the kernel scheduler might not consider the possibility of
+load balancing that process to the underused CPU.
+.PP
+Of course, processes pinned to a particular CPU can be left in a cpuset
+that disables
+.I sched_load_balance
+as those processes aren't going anywhere else anyway.
+.\" ================== Scheduler Relax Domain Level ==================
+.SS Scheduler relax domain level
+The kernel scheduler performs immediate load balancing whenever
+a CPU becomes free or another task becomes runnable.
+This load
+balancing works to ensure that as many CPUs as possible are usefully
+employed running tasks.
+The kernel also performs periodic load
+balancing off the software clock described in
+.BR time (7).
+The setting of
+.I sched_relax_domain_level
+applies only to immediate load balancing.
+Regardless of the
+.I sched_relax_domain_level
+setting, periodic load balancing is attempted over all CPUs
+(unless disabled by turning off
+.IR sched_load_balance .)
+In any case, of course, tasks will be scheduled to run only on
+CPUs allowed by their cpuset, as modified by
+.BR sched_setaffinity (2)
+system calls.
+.PP
+On small systems, such as those with just a few CPUs, immediate load
+balancing is useful to improve system interactivity and to minimize
+wasteful idle CPU cycles.
+But on large systems, attempting immediate
+load balancing across a large number of CPUs can be more costly than
+it is worth, depending on the particular performance characteristics
+of the job mix and the hardware.
+.PP
+The exact meaning of the small integer values of
+.I sched_relax_domain_level
+will depend on internal
+implementation details of the kernel scheduler code and on the
+non-uniform architecture of the hardware.
+Both of these will evolve
+over time and vary by system architecture and kernel version.
+.PP
+As of this writing, when this capability was introduced in Linux
+2.6.26, on certain popular architectures, the positive values of
+.I sched_relax_domain_level
+have the following meanings.
+.PP
+.PD 0
+.TP
+.B 1
+Perform immediate load balancing across Hyper-Thread
+siblings on the same core.

+on the same node or blade.
+.TP
+.B 4
+Perform immediate load balancing across over several
+(implementation detail) nodes [On NUMA systems].
+.TP
+.B 5
+Perform immediate load balancing across over all CPUs
+in system [On NUMA systems].
+.PD
+.PP
+The
+.I sched_relax_domain_level
+value of zero (0) always means
+don't perform immediate load balancing,
+hence that load balancing is done only periodically,
+not immediately when a CPU becomes available or another task becomes
+runnable.
+.PP
+The
+.I sched_relax_domain_level
+value of minus one (\-1)
+always means use the system default value.
+The system default value can vary by architecture and kernel version.
+This system default value can be changed by kernel
+boot-time "relax_domain_level=" argument.
+.PP
+In the case of multiple overlapping cpusets which have conflicting
+.I sched_relax_domain_level
+values, then the highest such value
+applies to all CPUs in any of the overlapping cpusets.
+In such cases,
+.B \-1
+is the lowest value,
+overridden by any other value,
+and
+.B 0
+is the next lowest value.

+Words are displayed in big-endian
+order, which has the most significant bit first.

+.IP \[bu]
+If it is

+its memory nodes may not overlap any sibling.
+.\" ================== PERMISSIONS ==================
+.SH PERMISSIONS
+The permissions of a cpuset are determined by the permissions
+of the directories and pseudo-files in the cpuset filesystem,
+normally mounted at
+.IR /dev/cpuset .
+.PP
+For instance, a process can put itself in some other cpuset (than
+its current one) if it can write the
+.I tasks
+file for that cpuset.
+This requires execute permission on the encompassing directories
+and write permission on the
+.I tasks
+file.
+.PP
+An additional constraint is applied to requests to place some
+other process in a cpuset.
+One process may not attach another to
+a cpuset unless it would have permission to send that process
+a signal (see
+.BR kill (2)).
+.PP
+A process may create a child cpuset if it can access and write the
+parent cpuset directory.
+It can modify the CPUs or memory nodes
+in a cpuset if it can access that cpuset's directory (execute
+permissions on the each of the parent directories) and write the
+corresponding
+.I cpus
+or
+.I mems
+file.
+.PP
+There is one minor difference between the manner in which these
+permissions are evaluated and the manner in which normal filesystem
+operation permissions are evaluated.
+The kernel interprets
+relative pathnames starting at a process's current working directory.
+Even if one is operating on a cpuset file, relative pathnames
+are interpreted relative to the process's current working directory,
+not relative to the process's current cpuset.
+The only ways that
+cpuset paths relative to a process's current cpuset can be used are
+if either the process's current working directory is its cpuset
+(it first did a
+.B cd
+or
+.BR chdir (2)
+to its cpuset directory beneath
+.IR /dev/cpuset ,
+which is a bit unusual)
+or if some user code converts the relative cpuset path to a
+full filesystem path.
+.PP
+In theory, this means that user code should specify cpusets
+using absolute pathnames, which requires knowing the mount point of
+the cpuset filesystem (usually, but not necessarily,
+.IR /dev/cpuset ).
+In practice, all user level code that this author is aware of
+simply assumes that if the cpuset filesystem is mounted, then
+it is mounted at
+.IR /dev/cpuset .
+Furthermore, it is common practice for carefully written
+user code to verify the presence of the pseudo-file
+.I /dev/cpuset/tasks
+in order to verify that the cpuset pseudo-filesystem
+is currently mounted.

+.SS Memory placement
+Not all allocations of system memory are constrained by cpusets,
+for the following reasons.
+.PP
+If hot-plug functionality is used to remove all the CPUs that are
+currently assigned to a cpuset, then the kernel will automatically
+update the
+.I cpus_allowed
+of all processes attached to CPUs in that cpuset
+to allow all CPUs.
+When memory hot-plug functionality for removing
+memory nodes is available, a similar exception is expected to apply
+there as well.
+In general, the kernel prefers to violate cpuset placement,
+rather than starving a process that has had all its allowed CPUs or
+memory nodes taken offline.
+User code should reconfigure cpusets to refer only to online CPUs
+and memory nodes when using hot-plug to add or remove such resources.
+.PP
+A few kernel-critical, internal memory-allocation requests, marked
+GFP_ATOMIC, must be satisfied immediately.
+The kernel may drop some
+request or malfunction if one of these allocations fail.
+If such a request cannot be satisfied within the current process's cpuset,
+then we relax the cpuset, and look for memory anywhere we can find it.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.SS Process ID (PID)
+Each process has a unique nonnegative integer identifier
+that is assigned when the process is created using
+.BR fork (2).
+A process can obtain its PID using
+.BR getpid (2).
+A PID is represented using the type
+.I pid_t
+(defined in
+.IR <sys/types.h> ).
+.PP
+PIDs are used in a range of system calls to identify the process
+affected by the call, for example:
+.BR kill (2),
+.BR ptrace (2),
+.BR setpriority (2),
+.\" .BR sched_rr_get_interval (2),

+.\" .BR waitid (2),

+.PP
+A process's PID is preserved across an
+.BR execve (2).
+.SS Parent process ID (PPID)
+A process's parent process ID identifies the process that created
+this process using
+.BR fork (2).
+A process can obtain its PPID using
+.BR getppid (2).
+A PPID is represented using the type
+.IR pid_t .
+.PP
+A process's PPID is preserved across an
+.BR execve (2).
+.SS Process group ID and session ID
+Each process has a session ID and a process group ID,
+both represented using the type
+.IR pid_t .
+A process can obtain its session ID using
+.BR getsid (2),
+and its process group ID using
+.BR getpgrp (2).
+.PP
+A child created by
+.BR fork (2)
+inherits its parent's session ID and process group ID.
+A process's session ID and process group ID are preserved across an
+.BR execve (2).
+.PP
+Sessions and process groups are abstractions devised to support shell
+job control.
+A process group (sometimes called a "job") is a collection of
+processes that share the same process group ID;
+the shell creates a new process group for the process(es) used
+to execute single command or pipeline (e.g., the two processes
+created to execute the command "ls\ |\ wc" are placed in the
+same process group).
+A process's group membership can be set using
+.BR setpgid (2).
+The process whose process ID is the same as its process group ID is the
+\fIprocess group leader\fP for that group.
+.PP
+A session is a collection of processes that share the same session ID.
+All of the members of a process group also have the same session ID
+(i.e., all of the members of a process group always belong to the
+same session, so that sessions and process groups form a strict
+two-level hierarchy of processes.)
+A new session is created when a process calls
+.BR setsid (2),
+which creates a new session whose session ID is the same
+as the PID of the process that called
+.BR setsid (2).
+The creator of the session is called the \fIsession leader\fP.
+.PP
+All of the processes in a session share a
+.IR "controlling terminal" .
+The controlling terminal is established when the session leader
+first opens a terminal (unless the
+.B O_NOCTTY
+flag is specified when calling
+.BR open (2)).
+A terminal may be the controlling terminal of at most one session.
+.PP
+At most one of the jobs in a session may be the
+.IR "foreground job" ;
+other jobs in the session are
+.IR "background jobs" .
+Only the foreground job may read from the terminal;
+when a process in the background attempts to read from the terminal,
+its process group is sent a
+.B SIGTTIN
+signal, which suspends the job.
+If the
+.B TOSTOP
+flag has been set for the terminal (see
+.BR termios (3)),
+then only the foreground job may write to the terminal;
+writes from background jobs cause a
+.B SIGTTOU
+signal to be generated, which suspends the job.
+When terminal keys that generate a signal (such as the
+.I interrupt
+key, normally control-C)
+are pressed, the signal is sent to the processes in the foreground job.
+.PP
+Various system calls and library functions
+may operate on all members of a process group,
+including
+.BR kill (2),
+.BR killpg (3),
+.BR getpriority (2),
+.BR setpriority (2),
+.BR ioprio_get (2),
+.BR ioprio_set (2),
+.BR waitid (2),
+and
+.BR waitpid (2).
+See also the discussion of the
+.BR F_GETOWN ,
+.BR F_GETOWN_EX ,
+.BR F_SETOWN ,
+and
+.B F_SETOWN_EX
+operations in
+.BR fcntl (2).
+.SS User and group identifiers
+Each process has various associated user and group IDs.
+These IDs are integers, respectively represented using the types
+.I uid_t
+and
+.I gid_t
+(defined in
+.IR <sys/types.h> ).
+.PP
+On Linux, each process has the following user and group identifiers:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Real user ID and real group ID.
+These IDs determine who owns the process.
+A process can obtain its real user (group) ID using
+.BR getuid (2)
+.RB ( getgid (2)).
+.IP \[bu]
+Effective user ID and effective group ID.
+These IDs are used by the kernel to determine the permissions
+that the process will have when accessing shared resources such
+as message queues, shared memory, and semaphores.
+On most UNIX systems, these IDs also determine the
+permissions when accessing files.
+However, Linux uses the filesystem IDs described below
+for this task.
+A process can obtain its effective user (group) ID using
+.BR geteuid (2)
+.RB ( getegid (2)).
+.IP \[bu]
+Saved set-user-ID and saved set-group-ID.
+These IDs are used in set-user-ID and set-group-ID programs to save
+a copy of the corresponding effective IDs that were set when
+the program was executed (see
+.BR execve (2)).
+A set-user-ID program can assume and drop privileges by
+switching its effective user ID back and forth between the values
+in its real user ID and saved set-user-ID.
+This switching is done via calls to
+.BR seteuid (2),
+.BR setreuid (2),
+or
+.BR setresuid (2).
+A set-group-ID program performs the analogous tasks using
+.BR setegid (2),
+.BR setregid (2),
+or
+.BR setresgid (2).
+A process can obtain its saved set-user-ID (set-group-ID) using
+.BR getresuid (2)
+.RB ( getresgid (2)).
+.IP \[bu]
+Filesystem user ID and filesystem group ID (Linux-specific).
+These IDs, in conjunction with the supplementary group IDs described
+below, are used to determine permissions for accessing files; see
+.BR path_resolution (7)
+for details.
+Whenever a process's effective user (group) ID is changed,
+the kernel also automatically changes the filesystem user (group) ID
+to the same value.
+Consequently, the filesystem IDs normally have the same values
+as the corresponding effective ID, and the semantics for file-permission
+checks are thus the same on Linux as on other UNIX systems.
+The filesystem IDs can be made to differ from the effective IDs
+by calling
+.BR setfsuid (2)
+and
+.BR setfsgid (2).
+.IP \[bu]
+Supplementary group IDs.
+This is a set of additional group IDs that are used for permission
+checks when accessing files and other shared resources.
+Before Linux 2.6.4,
+a process can be a member of up to 32 supplementary groups;
+since Linux 2.6.4,
+a process can be a member of up to 65536 supplementary groups.
+The call
+.I sysconf(_SC_NGROUPS_MAX)
+can be used to determine the number of supplementary groups
+of which a process may be a member.
+.\" Since Linux 2.6.4, the limit is visible via the read-only file
+.\" /proc/sys/kernel/ngroups_max.
+.\" As at 2.6.22-rc2, this file is still read-only.
+A process can obtain its set of supplementary group IDs using
+.BR getgroups (2).
+.PP
+A child process created by
+.BR fork (2)
+inherits copies of its parent's user and groups IDs.
+During an
+.BR execve (2),
+a process's real user and group ID and supplementary
+group IDs are preserved;
+the effective and saved set IDs may be changed, as described in
+.BR execve (2).
+.PP
+Aside from the purposes noted above,
+a process's user IDs are also employed in a number of other contexts:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+when determining the permissions for sending signals (see
+.BR kill (2));
+.IP \[bu]
+when determining the permissions for setting
+process-scheduling parameters (nice value, real time
+scheduling policy and priority, CPU affinity, I/O priority) using
+.BR setpriority (2),
+.BR sched_setaffinity (2),
+.BR sched_setscheduler (2),
+.BR sched_setparam (2),
+.BR sched_setattr (2),
+and
+.BR ioprio_set (2);
+.IP \[bu]
+when checking resource limits (see
+.BR getrlimit (2));
+.IP \[bu]
+when checking the limit on the number of inotify instances
+that the process may create (see
+.BR inotify (7)).
+.\"
+.SS Modifying process user and group IDs
+Subject to rules described in the relevant manual pages,
+a process can use the following APIs to modify its user and group IDs:
+.TP
+.BR setuid "(2) (" setgid (2))
+Modify the process's real (and possibly effective and saved-set)
+user (group) IDs.
+.TP
+.BR seteuid "(2) (" setegid (2))
+Modify the process's effective user (group) ID.
+.TP
+.BR setfsuid "(2) (" setfsgid (2))
+Modify the process's filesystem user (group) ID.
+.TP
+.BR setreuid "(2) (" setregid (2))
+Modify the process's real and effective (and possibly saved-set)
+user (group) IDs.
+.TP
+.BR setresuid "(2) (" setresgid (2))
+Modify the process's real, effective, and saved-set user (group) IDs.
+.TP
+.BR setgroups (2)
+Modify the process's supplementary group list.
+.PP
+Any changes to a process's effective user (group) ID
+are automatically carried over to the process's
+filesystem user (group) ID.
+Changes to a process's effective user or group ID can also affect the
+process "dumpable" attribute, as described in
+.BR prctl (2).
+.PP
+Changes to process user and group IDs can affect the capabilities
+of the process, as described in
+.BR capabilities (7).
+.SH STANDARDS
+Process IDs, parent process IDs, process group IDs, and session IDs
+are specified in POSIX.1.
+The real, effective, and saved set user and groups IDs,
+and the supplementary group IDs, are specified in POSIX.1.
+.PP
+The filesystem user and group IDs are a Linux extension.
+.SH NOTES
+Various fields in the
+.IR /proc/ pid /status
+file show the process credentials described above.
+See
+.BR proc (5)
+for further information.
+.PP
+The POSIX threads specification requires that
+credentials are shared by all of the threads in a process.
+However, at the kernel level, Linux maintains separate user and group
+credentials for each thread.
+The NPTL threading implementation does some work to ensure
+that any change to user or group credentials
+(e.g., calls to
+.BR setuid (2),
+.BR setresuid (2))
+is carried through to all of the POSIX threads in a process.
+See
+.BR nptl (7)

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Linux implements the AppleTalk protocols described in
+.IR "Inside AppleTalk" .
+Only the DDP layer and AARP are present in
+the kernel.
+They are designed to be used via the
+.B netatalk
+protocol
+libraries.
+This page documents the interface for those who wish or need to
+use the DDP layer directly.
+.PP
+The communication between AppleTalk and the user program works using a
+BSD-compatible socket interface.
+For more information on sockets, see
+.BR socket (7).
+.PP
+An AppleTalk socket is created by calling the
+.BR socket (2)
+function with a
+.B AF_APPLETALK
+socket family argument.
+Valid socket types are
+.B SOCK_DGRAM
+to open a
+.B ddp
+socket or
+.B SOCK_RAW
+to open a
+.B raw
+socket.
+.I protocol
+is the AppleTalk protocol to be received or sent.
+For
+.B SOCK_RAW
+you must specify
+.BR ATPROTO_DDP .
+.PP
+Raw sockets may be opened only by a process with effective user ID 0
+or when the process has the
+.B CAP_NET_RAW
+capability.
+.SS Address format
+An AppleTalk socket address is defined as a combination of a network number,
+a node number, and a port number.
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct at_addr {
+ unsigned short s_net;
+ unsigned char s_node;
+};
+\&
+struct sockaddr_atalk {
+ sa_family_t sat_family; /* address family */
+ unsigned char sat_port; /* port */
+ struct at_addr sat_addr; /* net/node */
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+.I sat_family
+is always set to
+.BR AF_APPLETALK .
+.I sat_port
+contains the port.
+The port numbers below 129 are known as
+.IR "reserved ports" .
+Only processes with the effective user ID 0 or the
+.B CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
+capability may
+.BR bind (2)
+to these sockets.
+.I sat_addr
+is the host address.
+The
+.I net
+member of
+.I struct at_addr
+contains the host network in network byte order.
+The value of
+.B AT_ANYNET
+is a
+wildcard and also implies \[lq]this network.\[rq]
+The
+.I node
+member of
+.I struct at_addr
+contains the host node number.
+The value of
+.B AT_ANYNODE
+is a
+wildcard and also implies \[lq]this node.\[rq] The value of
+.B ATADDR_BCAST
+is a link
+local broadcast address.
+.\" FIXME . this doesn't make sense [johnl]
+.SS Socket options
+No protocol-specific socket options are supported.
+.SS /proc interfaces

+.SH NAME
+environ \- user environment
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.BI "extern char **" environ ;
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The variable
+.I environ
+points to an array of pointers to strings called the "environment".
+The last pointer in this array has the value NULL.
+This array of strings is made available to the process by the
+.BR execve (2)
+call when a new program is started.
+When a child process is created via
+.BR fork (2),
+it inherits a
+.I copy
+of its parent's environment.
+.PP
+By convention, the strings in
+.I environ
+have the form "\fIname\fP\fB=\fP\fIvalue\fP".
+The name is case-sensitive and may not contain
+the character "\fB=\fP".
+The value can be anything that can be represented as a string.
+The name and the value may not contain an embedded null byte (\[aq]\e0\[aq]),
+since this is assumed to terminate the string.
+.PP
+Environment variables may be placed in the shell's environment by the
+.I export
+command in
+.BR sh (1),
+or by the
+.I setenv
+command if you use
+.BR csh (1).
+.PP
+The initial environment of the shell is populated in various ways,
+such as definitions from
+.I /etc/environment
+that are processed by
+.BR pam_env (8)
+for all users at login time (on systems that employ
+.BR pam (8)).
+In addition, various shell initialization scripts, such as the system-wide
+.I /etc/profile
+script and per-user initializations script may include commands
+that add variables to the shell's environment;
+see the manual page of your preferred shell for details.
+.PP
+Bourne-style shells support the syntax
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+NAME=value command
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+to create an environment variable definition only in the scope
+of the process that executes
+.IR command .
+Multiple variable definitions, separated by white space, may precede
+.IR command .
+.PP
+Arguments may also be placed in the
+environment at the point of an
+.BR exec (3).
+A C program can manipulate its environment using the functions
+.BR getenv (3),
+.BR putenv (3),
+.BR setenv (3),
+and
+.BR unsetenv (3).
+.PP
+What follows is a list of environment variables typically seen on a
+system.
+This list is incomplete and includes only common variables seen
+by average users in their day-to-day routine.
+Environment variables specific to a particular program or library function
+are documented in the ENVIRONMENT section of the appropriate manual page.
+.TP
+.B USER
+The name of the logged-in user (used by some BSD-derived programs).
+Set at login time, see section NOTES below.
+.TP
+.B LOGNAME
+The name of the logged-in user (used by some System-V derived programs).
+Set at login time, see section NOTES below.
+.TP
+.B HOME
+A user's login directory.
+Set at login time, see section NOTES below.
+.TP
+.B LANG
+The name of a locale to use for locale categories when not overridden
+by
+.B LC_ALL
+or more specific environment variables such as
+.BR LC_COLLATE ,
+.BR LC_CTYPE ,
+.BR LC_MESSAGES ,
+.BR LC_MONETARY ,
+.BR LC_NUMERIC ,
+and
+.B LC_TIME
+(see
+.BR locale (7)
+for further details of the
+.B LC_*
+environment variables).
+.TP
+.B PATH
+The sequence of directory prefixes that
+.BR sh (1)
+and many other
+programs employ when searching for an executable file that is specified
+as a simple filename (i.a., a pathname that contains no slashes).
+The prefixes are separated by colons (\fB:\fP).
+The list of prefixes is searched from beginning to end,
+by checking the pathname formed by concatenating
+a prefix, a slash, and the filename,
+until a file with execute permission is found.
+.IP
+As a legacy feature, a zero-length prefix
+(specified as two adjacent colons, or an initial or terminating colon)
+is interpreted to mean the current working directory.
+However, use of this feature is deprecated,
+and POSIX notes that a conforming application shall use
+an explicit pathname (e.g.,
+.IR . )
+to specify the current working directory.
+.IP
+Analogously to
+.BR PATH ,
+one has
+.B CDPATH
+used by some shells to find the target
+of a change directory command,
+.B MANPATH
+used by
+.BR man (1)
+to find manual pages, and so on.
+.TP
+.B PWD
+Absolute path to the current working directory;
+required to be partially canonical (no
+.I .\&
+or
+.I ..\&
+components).
+.TP
+.B SHELL
+The absolute pathname of the user's login shell.
+Set at login time, see section NOTES below.
+.TP
+.B TERM
+The terminal type for which output is to be prepared.
+.TP
+.B PAGER
+The user's preferred utility to display text files.
+Any string acceptable as a command-string operand to the
+.I sh\ \-c
+command shall be valid.
+If
+.B PAGER
+is null or is not set,
+then applications that launch a pager will default to a program such as
+.BR less (1)
+or
+.BR more (1).
+.TP
+.BR EDITOR / VISUAL
+The user's preferred utility to edit text files.
+Any string acceptable as a command_string operand to the
+.I sh\ \-c
+command shall be valid.
+.\" .TP
+.\" .B BROWSER
+.\" The user's preferred utility to browse URLs. Sequence of colon-separated
+.\" browser commands. See http://www.catb.org/\[ti]esr/BROWSER/ .
+.PP
+Note that the behavior of many programs and library routines is
+influenced by the presence or value of certain environment variables.
+Examples include the following:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The variables
+.BR LANG ", " LANGUAGE ", " NLSPATH ", " LOCPATH ,
+.BR LC_ALL ", " LC_MESSAGES ,
+and so on influence locale handling; see
+.BR catopen (3),
+.BR gettext (3),
+and
+.BR locale (7).
+.IP \[bu]
+.B TMPDIR
+influences the path prefix of names created by
+.BR tempnam (3)
+and other routines, and the temporary directory used by
+.BR sort (1)
+and other programs.
+.IP \[bu]
+.BR LD_LIBRARY_PATH ", " LD_PRELOAD ,
+and other
+.B LD_*
+variables influence the behavior of the dynamic loader/linker.
+See also
+.BR ld.so (8).
+.IP \[bu]
+.B POSIXLY_CORRECT
+makes certain programs and library routines follow
+the prescriptions of POSIX.
+.IP \[bu]
+The behavior of
+.BR malloc (3)
+is influenced by
+.B MALLOC_*
+variables.
+.IP \[bu]
+The variable
+.B HOSTALIASES
+gives the name of a file containing aliases
+to be used with
+.BR gethostbyname (3).
+.IP \[bu]
+.BR TZ " and " TZDIR
+give timezone information used by
+.BR tzset (3)
+and through that by functions like
+.BR ctime (3),
+.BR localtime (3),
+.BR mktime (3),
+.BR strftime (3).
+See also
+.BR tzselect (8).
+.IP \[bu]
+.B TERMCAP
+gives information on how to address a given terminal
+(or gives the name of a file containing such information).
+.IP \[bu]
+.BR COLUMNS " and " LINES
+tell applications about the window size, possibly overriding the actual size.
+.IP \[bu]
+.BR PRINTER " or " LPDEST
+may specify the desired printer to use.
+See
+.BR lpr (1).
+.SH NOTES
+Historically and by standard,
+.I environ
+must be declared in the user program.
+However, as a (nonstandard) programmer convenience,
+.I environ
+is declared in the header file
+.I <unistd.h>
+if the
+.B _GNU_SOURCE
+feature test macro is defined (see
+.BR feature_test_macros (7)).
+.PP
+The
+.BR prctl (2)
+.B PR_SET_MM_ENV_START
+and
+.B PR_SET_MM_ENV_END
+operations can be used to control the location of the process's environment.
+.PP
+The
+.BR HOME ,
+.BR LOGNAME ,
+.BR SHELL ,
+and
+.B USER
+variables are set when the user is changed via a
+session management interface, typically by a program such as
+.BR login (1)
+from a user database (such as
+.BR passwd (5)).
+(Switching to the root user using
+.BR su (1)
+may result in a mixed environment where
+.B LOGNAME
+and
+.B USER
+are retained from old user; see the
+.BR su (1)
+manual page.)
+.SH BUGS
+Clearly there is a security risk here.
+Many a system command has been
+tricked into mischief by a user who specified unusual values for
+.BR IFS " or " LD_LIBRARY_PATH .
+.PP
+There is also the risk of name space pollution.
+Programs like
+.I make
+and
+.I autoconf
+allow overriding of default utility names from the
+environment with similarly named variables in all caps.
+Thus one uses
+.B CC
+to select the desired C compiler (and similarly
+.BR MAKE ,
+.BR AR ,
+.BR AS ,
+.BR FC ,
+.BR LD ,
+.BR LEX ,
+.BR RM ,
+.BR YACC ,
+etc.).
+However, in some traditional uses such an environment variable
+gives options for the program instead of a pathname.
+Thus, one has
+.B MORE
+and
+.BR LESS .
+Such usage is considered mistaken, and to be avoided in new
+programs.

+.SH NAME
+epoll \- I/O event notification facility
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <sys/epoll.h>
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B epoll
+API performs a similar task to
+.BR poll (2):
+monitoring multiple file descriptors to see if I/O is possible on any of them.
+The
+.B epoll
+API can be used either as an edge-triggered or a level-triggered
+interface and scales well to large numbers of watched file descriptors.
+.PP
+The central concept of the
+.B epoll
+API is the
+.B epoll
+.IR instance ,
+an in-kernel data structure which, from a user-space perspective,
+can be considered as a container for two lists:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The
+.I interest
+list (sometimes also called the
+.B epoll
+set): the set of file descriptors that the process has registered
+an interest in monitoring.
+.IP \[bu]
+The
+.I ready
+list: the set of file descriptors that are "ready" for I/O.
+The ready list is a subset of
+(or, more precisely, a set of references to)
+the file descriptors in the interest list.
+The ready list is dynamically populated
+by the kernel as a result of I/O activity on those file descriptors.
+.PP
+The following system calls are provided to
+create and manage an
+.B epoll
+instance:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+.BR epoll_create (2)
+creates a new
+.B epoll
+instance and returns a file descriptor referring to that instance.
+(The more recent
+.BR epoll_create1 (2)
+extends the functionality of
+.BR epoll_create (2).)
+.IP \[bu]
+Interest in particular file descriptors is then registered via
+.BR epoll_ctl (2),
+which adds items to the interest list of the
+.B epoll
+instance.
+.IP \[bu]
+.BR epoll_wait (2)
+waits for I/O events,
+blocking the calling thread if no events are currently available.
+(This system call can be thought of as fetching items from
+the ready list of the
+.B epoll
+instance.)
+.\"
+.SS Level-triggered and edge-triggered
+The
+.B epoll
+event distribution interface is able to behave both as edge-triggered
+(ET) and as level-triggered (LT).
+The difference between the two mechanisms
+can be described as follows.
+Suppose that
+this scenario happens:
+.IP (1) 5
+The file descriptor that represents the read side of a pipe
+.RI ( rfd )
+is registered on the
+.B epoll
+instance.
+.IP (2)
+A pipe writer writes 2\ kB of data on the write side of the pipe.
+.IP (3)
+A call to
+.BR epoll_wait (2)
+is done that will return
+.I rfd
+as a ready file descriptor.
+.IP (4)
+The pipe reader reads 1\ kB of data from
+.IR rfd .
+.IP (5)
+A call to
+.BR epoll_wait (2)
+is done.
+.PP
+If the
+.I rfd
+file descriptor has been added to the
+.B epoll
+interface using the
+.B EPOLLET
+(edge-triggered)
+flag, the call to
+.BR epoll_wait (2)
+done in step
+.B 5
+will probably hang despite the available data still present in the file
+input buffer;
+meanwhile the remote peer might be expecting a response based on the
+data it already sent.
+The reason for this is that edge-triggered mode
+delivers events only when changes occur on the monitored file descriptor.
+So, in step
+.B 5
+the caller might end up waiting for some data that is already present inside
+the input buffer.
+In the above example, an event on
+.I rfd
+will be generated because of the write done in
+.B 2
+and the event is consumed in
+.BR 3 .
+Since the read operation done in
+.B 4
+does not consume the whole buffer data, the call to
+.BR epoll_wait (2)
+done in step
+.B 5
+might block indefinitely.
+.PP
+An application that employs the
+.B EPOLLET
+flag should use nonblocking file descriptors to avoid having a blocking
+read or write starve a task that is handling multiple file descriptors.
+The suggested way to use
+.B epoll
+as an edge-triggered
+.RB ( EPOLLET )
+interface is as follows:
+.IP (1) 5
+with nonblocking file descriptors; and
+.IP (2)
+by waiting for an event only after
+.BR read (2)
+or
+.BR write (2)
+return
+.BR EAGAIN .
+.PP
+By contrast, when used as a level-triggered interface
+(the default, when
+.B EPOLLET
+is not specified),
+.B epoll
+is simply a faster
+.BR poll (2),
+and can be used wherever the latter is used since it shares the
+same semantics.
+.PP
+Since even with edge-triggered
+.BR epoll ,
+multiple events can be generated upon receipt of multiple chunks of data,
+the caller has the option to specify the
+.B EPOLLONESHOT
+flag, to tell
+.B epoll
+to disable the associated file descriptor after the receipt of an event with
+.BR epoll_wait (2).
+When the
+.B EPOLLONESHOT
+flag is specified,
+it is the caller's responsibility to rearm the file descriptor using
+.BR epoll_ctl (2)
+with
+.BR EPOLL_CTL_MOD .
+.PP
+If multiple threads
+(or processes, if child processes have inherited the
+.B epoll
+file descriptor across
+.BR fork (2))
+are blocked in
+.BR epoll_wait (2)
+waiting on the same epoll file descriptor and a file descriptor
+in the interest list that is marked for edge-triggered
+.RB ( EPOLLET )
+notification becomes ready,
+just one of the threads (or processes) is awoken from
+.BR epoll_wait (2).
+This provides a useful optimization for avoiding "thundering herd" wake-ups
+in some scenarios.
+.\"
+.SS Interaction with autosleep
+If the system is in
+.B autosleep
+mode via
+.I /sys/power/autosleep
+and an event happens which wakes the device from sleep, the device
+driver will keep the device awake only until that event is queued.
+To keep the device awake until the event has been processed,
+it is necessary to use the
+.BR epoll_ctl (2)
+.B EPOLLWAKEUP
+flag.
+.PP
+When the
+.B EPOLLWAKEUP
+flag is set in the
+.B events
+field for a
+.IR "struct epoll_event" ,
+the system will be kept awake from the moment the event is queued,
+through the
+.BR epoll_wait (2)
+call which returns the event until the subsequent
+.BR epoll_wait (2)
+call.
+If the event should keep the system awake beyond that time,
+then a separate
+.I wake_lock
+should be taken before the second
+.BR epoll_wait (2)
+call.
+.SS /proc interfaces
+The following interfaces can be used to limit the amount of
+kernel memory consumed by epoll:
+.\" Following was added in Linux 2.6.28, but them removed in Linux 2.6.29
+.\" .TP
+.\" .IR /proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_instances " (since Linux 2.6.28)"
+.\" This specifies an upper limit on the number of epoll instances
+.\" that can be created per real user ID.
+.TP
+.IR /proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_watches " (since Linux 2.6.28)"
+This specifies a limit on the total number of
+file descriptors that a user can register across
+all epoll instances on the system.
+The limit is per real user ID.
+Each registered file descriptor costs roughly 90 bytes on a 32-bit kernel,
+and roughly 160 bytes on a 64-bit kernel.
+Currently,
+.\" Linux 2.6.29 (in Linux 2.6.28, the default was 1/32 of lowmem)
+the default value for
+.I max_user_watches
+is 1/25 (4%) of the available low memory,
+divided by the registration cost in bytes.
+.SS Example for suggested usage
+While the usage of
+.B epoll
+when employed as a level-triggered interface does have the same
+semantics as
+.BR poll (2),
+the edge-triggered usage requires more clarification to avoid stalls
+in the application event loop.
+In this example, listener is a
+nonblocking socket on which
+.BR listen (2)
+has been called.
+The function
+.I do_use_fd()
+uses the new ready file descriptor until
+.B EAGAIN
+is returned by either
+.BR read (2)
+or
+.BR write (2).
+An event-driven state machine application should, after having received
+.BR EAGAIN ,
+record its current state so that at the next call to
+.I do_use_fd()
+it will continue to
+.BR read (2)
+or
+.BR write (2)
+from where it stopped before.
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+#define MAX_EVENTS 10
+struct epoll_event ev, events[MAX_EVENTS];
+int listen_sock, conn_sock, nfds, epollfd;

+ exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
+ }
+ } else {
+ do_use_fd(events[n].data.fd);
+ }
+ }
+}
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+When used as an edge-triggered interface, for performance reasons, it is
+possible to add the file descriptor inside the
+.B epoll
+interface
+.RB ( EPOLL_CTL_ADD )
+once by specifying
+.RB ( EPOLLIN | EPOLLOUT ).
+This allows you to avoid
+continuously switching between
+.B EPOLLIN
+and
+.B EPOLLOUT
+calling
+.BR epoll_ctl (2)
+with
+.BR EPOLL_CTL_MOD .
+.SS Questions and answers
+.IP \[bu] 3
+What is the key used to distinguish the file descriptors registered in an
+interest list?
+.IP
+The key is the combination of the file descriptor number and
+the open file description
+(also known as an "open file handle",
+the kernel's internal representation of an open file).
+.IP \[bu]
+What happens if you register the same file descriptor on an
+.B epoll
+instance twice?

+This can be a useful technique for filtering events,
+if the duplicate file descriptors are registered with different
+.I events
+masks.
+.IP \[bu]
+Can two
+.B epoll
+instances wait for the same file descriptor?
+If so, are events reported to both
+.B epoll
+file descriptors?
+.IP
+Yes, and events would be reported to both.
+However, careful programming may be needed to do this correctly.
+.IP \[bu]
+Is the
+.B epoll
+file descriptor itself poll/epoll/selectable?
+.IP
+Yes.
+If an
+.B epoll
+file descriptor has events waiting, then it will
+indicate as being readable.
+.IP \[bu]
+What happens if one attempts to put an
+.B epoll
+file descriptor into its own file descriptor set?
+.IP
+The
+.BR epoll_ctl (2)
+call fails
+.RB ( EINVAL ).
+However, you can add an
+.B epoll
+file descriptor inside another
+.B epoll
+file descriptor set.
+.IP \[bu]
+Can I send an
+.B epoll
+file descriptor over a UNIX domain socket to another process?
+.IP
+Yes, but it does not make sense to do this, since the receiving process
+would not have copies of the file descriptors in the interest list.
+.IP \[bu]
+Will closing a file descriptor cause it to be removed from all
+.B epoll
+interest lists?
+.IP
+Yes, but be aware of the following point.
+A file descriptor is a reference to an open file description (see
+.BR open (2)).
+Whenever a file descriptor is duplicated via
+.BR dup (2),
+.BR dup2 (2),
+.BR fcntl (2)
+.BR F_DUPFD ,
+or
+.BR fork (2),
+a new file descriptor referring to the same open file description is
+created.
+An open file description continues to exist until all
+file descriptors referring to it have been closed.
+.IP
+A file descriptor is removed from an
+interest list only after all the file descriptors referring to the underlying
+open file description have been closed.
+This means that even after a file descriptor that is part of an
+interest list has been closed,
+events may be reported for that file descriptor if other file
+descriptors referring to the same underlying file description remain open.
+To prevent this happening,
+the file descriptor must be explicitly removed from the interest list (using
+.BR epoll_ctl (2)
+.BR EPOLL_CTL_DEL )
+before it is duplicated.
+Alternatively,
+the application must ensure that all file descriptors are closed
+(which may be difficult if file descriptors were duplicated
+behind the scenes by library functions that used
+.BR dup (2)
+or
+.BR fork (2)).
+.IP \[bu]
+If more than one event occurs between
+.BR epoll_wait (2)
+calls, are they combined or reported separately?
+.IP
+They will be combined.
+.IP \[bu]
+Does an operation on a file descriptor affect the
+already collected but not yet reported events?
+.IP
+You can do two operations on an existing file descriptor.
+Remove would be meaningless for
+this case.
+Modify will reread available I/O.
+.IP \[bu]
+Do I need to continuously read/write a file descriptor
+until
+.B EAGAIN
+when using the
+.B EPOLLET
+flag (edge-triggered behavior)?
+.IP
+Receiving an event from
+.BR epoll_wait (2)
+should suggest to you that such
+file descriptor is ready for the requested I/O operation.
+You must consider it ready until the next (nonblocking)
+read/write yields
+.BR EAGAIN .
+When and how you will use the file descriptor is entirely up to you.
+.IP
+For packet/token-oriented files (e.g., datagram socket,
+terminal in canonical mode),
+the only way to detect the end of the read/write I/O space
+is to continue to read/write until
+.BR EAGAIN .
+.IP
+For stream-oriented files (e.g., pipe, FIFO, stream socket), the
+condition that the read/write I/O space is exhausted can also be detected by
+checking the amount of data read from / written to the target file
+descriptor.
+For example, if you call
+.BR read (2)
+by asking to read a certain amount of data and
+.BR read (2)
+returns a lower number of bytes, you
+can be sure of having exhausted the read I/O space for the file
+descriptor.
+The same is true when writing using
+.BR write (2).
+(Avoid this latter technique if you cannot guarantee that
+the monitored file descriptor always refers to a stream-oriented file.)
+.SS Possible pitfalls and ways to avoid them
+.IP \[bu] 3
+.B Starvation (edge-triggered)
+.IP
+If there is a large amount of I/O space,
+it is possible that by trying to drain
+it the other files will not get processed causing starvation.
+(This problem is not specific to
+.BR epoll .)
+.IP
+The solution is to maintain a ready list
+and mark the file descriptor as ready
+in its associated data structure, thereby allowing the application to
+remember which files need to be processed but still round robin amongst
+all the ready files.
+This also supports ignoring subsequent events you
+receive for file descriptors that are already ready.
+.IP \[bu]
+.B If using an event cache...
+.IP
+If you use an event cache or store all the file descriptors returned from
+.BR epoll_wait (2),
+then make sure to provide a way to mark
+its closure dynamically (i.e., caused by
+a previous event's processing).
+Suppose you receive 100 events from
+.BR epoll_wait (2),
+and in event #47 a condition causes event #13 to be closed.
+If you remove the structure and
+.BR close (2)
+the file descriptor for event #13, then your
+event cache might still say there are events waiting for that
+file descriptor causing confusion.
+.IP
+One solution for this is to call, during the processing of event 47,
+.BR epoll_ctl ( EPOLL_CTL_DEL )
+to delete file descriptor 13 and
+.BR close (2),
+then mark its associated
+data structure as removed and link it to a cleanup list.
+If you find another
+event for file descriptor 13 in your batch processing,
+you will discover the file descriptor had been
+previously removed and there will be no confusion.

+.SH NAME
+fanotify \- monitoring filesystem events
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The fanotify API provides notification and interception of
+filesystem events.
+Use cases include virus scanning and hierarchical storage management.
+In the original fanotify API, only a limited set of events was supported.
+In particular, there was no support for create, delete, and move events.
+The support for those events was added in Linux 5.1.
+(See
+.BR inotify (7)
+for details of an API that did notify those events pre Linux 5.1.)
+.PP
+Additional capabilities compared to the
+.BR inotify (7)
+API include the ability to monitor all of the objects
+in a mounted filesystem,
+the ability to make access permission decisions, and the
+possibility to read or modify files before access by other applications.
+.PP
+The following system calls are used with this API:
+.BR fanotify_init (2),
+.BR fanotify_mark (2),
+.BR read (2),
+.BR write (2),
+and
+.BR close (2).
+.SS fanotify_init(), fanotify_mark(), and notification groups
+The
+.BR fanotify_init (2)
+system call creates and initializes an fanotify notification group
+and returns a file descriptor referring to it.
+.PP
+An fanotify notification group is a kernel-internal object that holds
+a list of files, directories, filesystems, and mounts for which
+events shall be created.
+.PP
+For each entry in an fanotify notification group, two bit masks exist: the
+.I mark
+mask and the
+.I ignore
+mask.
+The mark mask defines file activities for which an event shall be created.
+The ignore mask defines activities for which no event shall be generated.
+Having these two types of masks permits a filesystem, mount, or
+directory to be marked for receiving events, while at the same time
+ignoring events for specific objects under a mount or directory.
+.PP
+The
+.BR fanotify_mark (2)
+system call adds a file, directory, filesystem, or mount to a
+notification group and specifies which events
+shall be reported (or ignored), or removes or modifies such an entry.
+.PP
+A possible usage of the ignore mask is for a file cache.
+Events of interest for a file cache are modification of a file and closing
+of the same.
+Hence, the cached directory or mount is to be marked to receive these
+events.
+After receiving the first event informing that a file has been modified,
+the corresponding cache entry will be invalidated.
+No further modification events for this file are of interest until the file
+is closed.
+Hence, the modify event can be added to the ignore mask.
+Upon receiving the close event, the modify event can be removed from the
+ignore mask and the file cache entry can be updated.
+.PP
+The entries in the fanotify notification groups refer to files and
+directories via their inode number and to mounts via their mount ID.
+If files or directories are renamed or moved within the same mount,
+the respective entries survive.
+If files or directories are deleted or moved to another mount or if
+filesystems or mounts are unmounted, the corresponding entries are deleted.
+.SS The event queue
+As events occur on the filesystem objects monitored by a notification group,
+the fanotify system generates events that are collected in a queue.
+These events can then be read (using
+.BR read (2)
+or similar)
+from the fanotify file descriptor
+returned by
+.BR fanotify_init (2).
+.PP
+Two types of events are generated:
+.I notification
+events and
+.I permission
+events.
+Notification events are merely informative and require no action to be taken
+by the receiving application with one exception: if a valid file descriptor
+is provided within a generic event, the file descriptor must be closed.
+Permission events are requests to the receiving application to decide
+whether permission for a file access shall be granted.
+For these events, the recipient must write a response which decides whether
+access is granted or not.
+.PP
+An event is removed from the event queue of the fanotify group
+when it has been read.
+Permission events that have been read are kept in an internal list of the
+fanotify group until either a permission decision has been taken by
+writing to the fanotify file descriptor or the fanotify file descriptor
+is closed.
+.SS Reading fanotify events
+Calling
+.BR read (2)
+for the file descriptor returned by
+.BR fanotify_init (2)
+blocks (if the flag
+.B FAN_NONBLOCK
+is not specified in the call to
+.BR fanotify_init (2))
+until either a file event occurs or the call is interrupted by a signal
+(see
+.BR signal (7)).
+.PP
+After a successful
+.BR read (2),
+the read buffer contains one or more of the following structures:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct fanotify_event_metadata {
+ __u32 event_len;
+ __u8 vers;
+ __u8 reserved;
+ __u16 metadata_len;
+ __aligned_u64 mask;
+ __s32 fd;
+ __s32 pid;
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+Information records are
+supplemental pieces of information that
+may be provided alongside the generic
+.I fanotify_event_metadata
+structure.
+The
+.I flags
+passed to
+.BR fanotify_init (2)
+have influence over the type of information records that
+may be returned for an event.
+For example,
+if a notification group is initialized with
+.B FAN_REPORT_FID
+or
+.BR FAN_REPORT_DIR_FID ,
+then event listeners should also expect to receive a
+.I fanotify_event_info_fid
+structure alongside the
+.I fanotify_event_metadata
+structure,
+whereby file handles are used to
+identify filesystem objects
+rather than file descriptors.
+Information records may also be stacked,
+meaning that using the various
+.B FAN_REPORT_*
+flags in conjunction with one another is supported.
+In such cases,
+multiple information records can be returned for an event
+alongside the generic
+.I fanotify_event_metadata
+structure.
+For example,
+if a notification group is initialized with
+.B FAN_REPORT_TARGET_FID
+and
+.BR FAN_REPORT_PIDFD ,
+then an event listener should expect to receive up to two
+.I fanotify_event_info_fid
+information records and one
+.I fanotify_event_info_pidfd
+information record alongside the generic
+.I fanotify_event_metadata
+structure.
+Importantly,
+fanotify provides no guarantee around
+the ordering of information records
+when a notification group is initialized with a
+stacked based configuration.
+Each information record has a nested structure of type
+.IR fanotify_event_info_header .
+It is imperative for event listeners to inspect the
+.I info_type
+field of this structure in order to
+determine the type of information record that
+had been received for a given event.
+.PP
+In cases where an fanotify group
+identifies filesystem objects by file handles,
+event listeners should also expect to
+receive one or more of the below
+information record objects alongside the generic
+.I fanotify_event_metadata
+structure within the read buffer:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct fanotify_event_info_fid {
+ struct fanotify_event_info_header hdr;
+ __kernel_fsid_t fsid;
+ unsigned char file_handle[0];
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+In cases where an fanotify group is initialized with
+.BR FAN_REPORT_PIDFD ,
+event listeners should expect to receive the below
+information record object alongside the generic
+.I fanotify_event_metadata
+structure within the read buffer:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct fanotify_event_info_pidfd {
+ struct fanotify_event_info_header hdr;
+ __s32 pidfd;
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+In case of a
+.B FAN_FS_ERROR
+event,
+an additional information record describing the error that occurred
+is returned alongside the generic
+.I fanotify_event_metadata
+structure within the read buffer.
+This structure is defined as follows:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct fanotify_event_info_error {
+ struct fanotify_event_info_header hdr;
+ __s32 error;
+ __u32 error_count;
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+All information records contain a nested structure of type
+.IR fanotify_event_info_header .
+This structure holds meta-information about the information record
+that may have been returned alongside the generic
+.I fanotify_event_metadata
+structure.
+This structure is defined as follows:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct fanotify_event_info_header {
+ __u8 info_type;
+ __u8 pad;
+ __u16 len;
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+For performance reasons, it is recommended to use a large
+buffer size (for example, 4096 bytes),
+so that multiple events can be retrieved by a single
+.BR read (2).
+.PP
+The return value of
+.BR read (2)
+is the number of bytes placed in the buffer,
+or \-1 in case of an error (but see BUGS).
+.PP
+The fields of the
+.I fanotify_event_metadata
+structure are as follows:
+.TP
+.I event_len
+This is the length of the data for the current event and the offset
+to the next event in the buffer.
+Unless the group identifies filesystem objects by file handles, the value of
+.I event_len
+is always
+.BR FAN_EVENT_METADATA_LEN .
+For a group that identifies filesystem objects by file handles,
+.I event_len
+also includes the variable length file identifier records.
+.TP
+.I vers
+This field holds a version number for the structure.
+It must be compared to
+.B FANOTIFY_METADATA_VERSION
+to verify that the structures returned at run time match
+the structures defined at compile time.
+In case of a mismatch, the application should abandon trying to use the
+fanotify file descriptor.
+.TP
+.I reserved
+This field is not used.
+.TP
+.I metadata_len
+This is the length of the structure.
+The field was introduced to facilitate the implementation of
+optional headers per event type.
+No such optional headers exist in the current implementation.
+.TP
+.I mask
+This is a bit mask describing the event (see below).
+.TP
+.I fd
+This is an open file descriptor for the object being accessed, or
+.B FAN_NOFD
+if a queue overflow occurred.
+With an fanotify group that identifies filesystem objects by file handles,
+applications should expect this value to be set to
+.B FAN_NOFD
+for each event that is received.
+The file descriptor can be used to access the contents
+of the monitored file or directory.
+The reading application is responsible for closing this file descriptor.
+.IP
+When calling
+.BR fanotify_init (2),
+the caller may specify (via the
+.I event_f_flags
+argument) various file status flags that are to be set
+on the open file description that corresponds to this file descriptor.
+In addition, the (kernel-internal)
+.B FMODE_NONOTIFY
+file status flag is set on the open file description.
+This flag suppresses fanotify event generation.
+Hence, when the receiver of the fanotify event accesses the notified file or
+directory using this file descriptor, no additional events will be created.
+.TP
+.I pid
+If flag
+.B FAN_REPORT_TID
+was set in
+.BR fanotify_init (2),
+this is the TID of the thread that caused the event.
+Otherwise, this the PID of the process that caused the event.
+.PP
+A program listening to fanotify events can compare this PID
+to the PID returned by
+.BR getpid (2),
+to determine whether the event is caused by the listener itself,
+or is due to a file access by another process.
+.PP
+The bit mask in
+.I mask
+indicates which events have occurred for a single filesystem object.
+Multiple bits may be set in this mask,
+if more than one event occurred for the monitored filesystem object.
+In particular,
+consecutive events for the same filesystem object and originating from the
+same process may be merged into a single event, with the exception that two
+permission events are never merged into one queue entry.
+.PP
+The bits that may appear in
+.I mask
+are as follows:
+.TP
+.B FAN_ACCESS
+A file or a directory (but see BUGS) was accessed (read).
+.TP
+.B FAN_OPEN
+A file or a directory was opened.
+.TP
+.B FAN_OPEN_EXEC
+A file was opened with the intent to be executed.
+See NOTES in
+.BR fanotify_mark (2)
+for additional details.
+.TP
+.B FAN_ATTRIB
+A file or directory metadata was changed.
+.TP
+.B FAN_CREATE
+A child file or directory was created in a watched parent.
+.TP
+.B FAN_DELETE
+A child file or directory was deleted in a watched parent.
+.TP
+.B FAN_DELETE_SELF
+A watched file or directory was deleted.
+.TP
+.B FAN_FS_ERROR
+A filesystem error was detected.
+.TP
+.B FAN_RENAME
+A file or directory has been moved to or from a watched parent directory.
+.TP
+.B FAN_MOVED_FROM
+A file or directory has been moved from a watched parent directory.
+.TP
+.B FAN_MOVED_TO
+A file or directory has been moved to a watched parent directory.
+.TP
+.B FAN_MOVE_SELF
+A watched file or directory was moved.
+.TP
+.B FAN_MODIFY
+A file was modified.
+.TP
+.B FAN_CLOSE_WRITE
+A file that was opened for writing
+.RB ( O_WRONLY
+or
+.BR O_RDWR )
+was closed.
+.TP
+.B FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE
+A file or directory that was opened read-only
+.RB ( O_RDONLY )
+was closed.
+.TP
+.B FAN_Q_OVERFLOW
+The event queue exceeded the limit on number of events.
+This limit can be overridden by specifying the
+.B FAN_UNLIMITED_QUEUE
+flag when calling
+.BR fanotify_init (2).
+.TP
+.B FAN_ACCESS_PERM
+An application wants to read a file or directory, for example using
+.BR read (2)
+or
+.BR readdir (2).
+The reader must write a response (as described below)
+that determines whether the permission to
+access the filesystem object shall be granted.
+.TP
+.B FAN_OPEN_PERM
+An application wants to open a file or directory.
+The reader must write a response that determines whether the permission to
+open the filesystem object shall be granted.
+.TP
+.B FAN_OPEN_EXEC_PERM
+An application wants to open a file for execution.
+The reader must write a response that determines whether the permission to
+open the filesystem object for execution shall be granted.
+See NOTES in
+.BR fanotify_mark (2)
+for additional details.
+.PP
+To check for any close event, the following bit mask may be used:
+.TP
+.B FAN_CLOSE
+A file was closed.
+This is a synonym for:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+FAN_CLOSE_WRITE | FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+To check for any move event, the following bit mask may be used:
+.TP
+.B FAN_MOVE
+A file or directory was moved.
+This is a synonym for:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+FAN_MOVED_FROM | FAN_MOVED_TO
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+The following bits may appear in
+.I mask
+only in conjunction with other event type bits:
+.TP
+.B FAN_ONDIR
+The events described in the
+.I mask
+have occurred on a directory object.
+Reporting events on directories requires setting this flag in the mark mask.
+See
+.BR fanotify_mark (2)
+for additional details.
+The
+.B FAN_ONDIR
+flag is reported in an event mask only if the fanotify group identifies
+filesystem objects by file handles.
+.PP
+Information records that are supplied alongside the generic
+.I fanotify_event_metadata
+structure will always contain a nested structure of type
+.IR fanotify_event_info_header .
+The fields of the
+.I fanotify_event_info_header
+are as follows:
+.TP
+.I info_type
+A unique integer value representing
+the type of information record object received for an event.
+The value of this field can be set to one of the following:
+.BR FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_FID ,
+.BR FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID ,
+.BR FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID_NAME ,
+or
+.BR FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_PIDFD .
+The value set for this field
+is dependent on the flags that have been supplied to
+.BR fanotify_init (2).
+Refer to the field details of each information record object type below
+to understand the different cases in which the
+.I info_type
+values can be set.
+.TP
+.I pad
+This field is currently not used by any information record object type
+and therefore is set to zero.
+.TP
+.I len
+The value of
+.I len
+is set to the size of the information record object,
+including the
+.IR fanotify_event_info_header .
+The total size of all additional information records
+is not expected to be larger than
+.RI ( event_len
+\-
+.IR metadata_len ).
+.PP
+The fields of the
+.I fanotify_event_info_fid
+structure are as follows:
+.TP
+.I hdr
+This is a structure of type
+.IR fanotify_event_info_header .
+For example, when an fanotify file descriptor is created using
+.BR FAN_REPORT_FID ,
+a single information record is expected to be attached to the event with
+.I info_type
+field value of
+.BR FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_FID .
+When an fanotify file descriptor is created using the combination of
+.B FAN_REPORT_FID
+and
+.BR FAN_REPORT_DIR_FID ,
+there may be two information records attached to the event:
+one with
+.I info_type
+field value of
+.BR FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID ,
+identifying a parent directory object, and one with
+.I info_type
+field value of
+.BR FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_FID ,
+identifying a child object.
+Note that for the directory entry modification events
+.BR FAN_CREATE ,
+.BR FAN_DELETE ,
+.BR FAN_MOVE ,
+and
+.BR FAN_RENAME ,
+an information record identifying the created/deleted/moved child object
+is reported only if an fanotify group was initialized with the flag
+.BR FAN_REPORT_TARGET_FID .
+.TP
+.I fsid
+This is a unique identifier of the filesystem containing the object
+associated with the event.
+It is a structure of type
+.I __kernel_fsid_t
+and contains the same value as
+.I f_fsid
+when calling
+.BR statfs (2).
+.TP
+.I file_handle
+This is a variable length structure of type struct file_handle.
+It is an opaque handle that corresponds to a specified object on a
+filesystem as returned by
+.BR name_to_handle_at (2).
+It can be used to uniquely identify a file on a filesystem and can be
+passed as an argument to
+.BR open_by_handle_at (2).
+If the value of
+.I info_type
+field is
+.BR FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID_NAME ,
+the file handle is followed by a null terminated string that identifies the
+created/deleted/moved directory entry name.
+For other events such as
+.BR FAN_OPEN ,
+.BR FAN_ATTRIB ,

+.SH ERRORS
+In addition to the usual errors for
+.BR read (2),
+the following errors can occur when reading from the

+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+The buffer is too small to hold the event.

+or
+.B O_WRONLY
+was specified in the
+.I event_f_flags
+argument when calling
+.BR fanotify_init (2)
+and an event occurred for a monitored file that is currently being executed.
+.PP
+In addition to the usual errors for
+.BR write (2),
+the following errors can occur when writing to the fanotify file descriptor:
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+Fanotify access permissions are not enabled in the kernel configuration
+or the value of
+.I response
+in the response structure is not valid.
+.TP
+.B ENOENT
+The file descriptor
+.I fd
+in the response structure is not valid.
+This may occur when a response for the permission event has already been
+written.
+.SH STANDARDS
+Linux.
+.SH HISTORY
+The fanotify API was introduced in Linux 2.6.36 and
+enabled in Linux 2.6.37.
+fdinfo support was added in Linux 3.8.
+.SH NOTES
+The fanotify API is available only if the kernel was built with the
+.B CONFIG_FANOTIFY
+configuration option enabled.
+In addition, fanotify permission handling is available only if the
+.B CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS
+configuration option is enabled.
+.SS Limitations and caveats
+Fanotify reports only events that a user-space program triggers through the
+filesystem API.
+As a result,
+it does not catch remote events that occur on network filesystems.
+.PP
+The fanotify API does not report file accesses and modifications that
+may occur because of
+.BR mmap (2),
+.BR msync (2),
+and
+.BR munmap (2).
+.PP
+Events for directories are created only if the directory itself is opened,
+read, and closed.
+Adding, removing, or changing children of a marked directory does not create
+events for the monitored directory itself.
+.PP
+Fanotify monitoring of directories is not recursive:
+to monitor subdirectories under a directory,
+additional marks must be created.
+The
+.B FAN_CREATE
+event can be used for detecting when a subdirectory has been created under
+a marked directory.
+An additional mark must then be set on the newly created subdirectory.
+This approach is racy, because it can lose events that occurred inside the
+newly created subdirectory, before a mark is added on that subdirectory.
+Monitoring mounts offers the capability to monitor a whole directory tree
+in a race-free manner.
+Monitoring filesystems offers the capability to monitor changes made from
+any mount of a filesystem instance in a race-free manner.
+.PP
+The event queue can overflow.
+In this case, events are lost.
+.SH BUGS
+Before Linux 3.19,
+.BR fallocate (2)
+did not generate fanotify events.
+Since Linux 3.19,
+.\" commit 820c12d5d6c0890bc93dd63893924a13041fdc35
+calls to
+.BR fallocate (2)
+generate
+.B FAN_MODIFY
+events.
+.PP
+As of Linux 3.17,
+the following bugs exist:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+On Linux, a filesystem object may be accessible through multiple paths,
+for example, a part of a filesystem may be remounted using the
+.I \-\-bind
+option of
+.BR mount (8).
+A listener that marked a mount will be notified only of events that were
+triggered for a filesystem object using the same mount.
+Any other event will pass unnoticed.
+.IP \[bu]
+.\" FIXME . A patch was proposed.
+When an event is generated,
+no check is made to see whether the user ID of the
+receiving process has authorization to read or write the file
+before passing a file descriptor for that file.
+This poses a security risk, when the
+.B CAP_SYS_ADMIN
+capability is set for programs executed by unprivileged users.
+.IP \[bu]
+If a call to
+.BR read (2)
+processes multiple events from the fanotify queue and an error occurs,
+the return value will be the total length of the events successfully
+copied to the user-space buffer before the error occurred.
+The return value will not be \-1, and
+.I errno
+will not be set.
+Thus, the reading application has no way to detect the error.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The two example programs below demonstrate the usage of the fanotify API.
+.SS Example program: fanotify_example.c
+The first program is an example of fanotify being
+used with its event object information passed in the form of a file
+descriptor.
+The program marks the mount passed as a command-line argument and
+waits for events of type
+.B FAN_OPEN_PERM
+and
+.BR FAN_CLOSE_WRITE .
+When a permission event occurs, a
+.B FAN_ALLOW
+response is given.
+.PP
+The following shell session shows an example of
+running this program.
+This session involved editing the file
+.IR /home/user/temp/notes .
+Before the file was opened, a
+.B FAN_OPEN_PERM
+event occurred.
+After the file was closed, a
+.B FAN_CLOSE_WRITE
+event occurred.
+Execution of the program ends when the user presses the ENTER key.

+.SH NAME
+feature_test_macros \- feature test macros
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Feature test macros allow the programmer to control the definitions that
+are exposed by system header files when a program is compiled.
+.PP
+.B NOTE:
+In order to be effective, a feature test macro
+.IR "must be defined before including any header files" .
+This can be done either in the compilation command
+.RI ( "cc \-DMACRO=value" )
+or by defining the macro within the source code before
+including any headers.
+The requirement that the macro must be defined before including any
+header file exists because header files may freely include one another.
+Thus, for example, in the following lines, defining the
+.B _GNU_SOURCE
+macro may have no effect because the header
+.I <abc.h>
+itself includes
+.I <xyz.h>
+(POSIX explicitly allows this):
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+#include <abc.h>
+#define _GNU_SOURCE
+#include <xyz.h>
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+Some feature test macros are useful for creating portable applications,
+by preventing nonstandard definitions from being exposed.
+Other macros can be used to expose nonstandard definitions that
+are not exposed by default.
+.PP
+The precise effects of each of the feature test macros described below
+can be ascertained by inspecting the
+.I <features.h>
+header file.
+.BR Note :
+applications do
+.I not
+need to directly include
+.IR <features.h> ;
+indeed, doing so is actively discouraged.
+See NOTES.
+.SS Specification of feature test macro requirements in manual pages
+When a function requires that a feature test macro is defined,
+the manual page SYNOPSIS typically includes a note of the following form
+(this example from the
+.BR acct (2)
+manual page):
+.PP
+.RS
+.B #include <unistd.h>
+.PP
+.BI "int acct(const char *" filename );
+.PP
+.RS -4
+.EX
+Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
+.BR feature_test_macros (7)):
+.EE
+.RE
+.PP
+.BR acct ():
+_BSD_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)
+.RE
+.PP
+The
+.B ||
+means that in order to obtain the declaration of
+.BR acct (2)
+from
+.IR <unistd.h> ,
+.I either
+of the following macro
+definitions must be made before including any header files:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+#define _BSD_SOURCE
+#define _XOPEN_SOURCE /* or any value < 500 */
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+Alternatively, equivalent definitions can be included in the
+compilation command:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+cc \-D_BSD_SOURCE
+cc \-D_XOPEN_SOURCE # Or any value < 500
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+Note that, as described below,
+.BR "some feature test macros are defined by default" ,
+so that it may not always be necessary to
+explicitly specify the feature test macro(s) shown in the
+SYNOPSIS.
+.PP
+In a few cases, manual pages use a shorthand for expressing the
+feature test macro requirements (this example from
+.BR readahead (2)):
+.PP
+.RS +4
+.EX
+.B #define _GNU_SOURCE
+.B #define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
+.B #include <fcntl.h>
+.PP
+.BI "ssize_t readahead(int " fd ", off_t *" offset ", size_t " count );
+.EE
+.RE
+.PP
+This format is employed when the feature test macros ensure
+that the proper function declarations are visible,
+and the macros are not defined by default.
+.SS Feature test macros understood by glibc
+The paragraphs below explain how feature test macros are handled
+in glibc 2.\fIx\fP,
+.I x
+> 0.
+.PP
+First, though, a summary of a few details for the impatient:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The macros that you most likely need to use in modern source code are
+.B _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+(for definitions from various versions of POSIX.1),
+.B _XOPEN_SOURCE
+(for definitions from various versions of SUS),
+.B _GNU_SOURCE
+(for GNU and/or Linux specific stuff), and
+.B _DEFAULT_SOURCE
+(to get definitions that would normally be provided by default).
+.IP \[bu]
+Certain macros are defined with default values.
+Thus, although one or more macros may be indicated as being
+required in the SYNOPSIS of a man page,
+it may not be necessary to define them explicitly.
+Full details of the defaults are given later in this man page.
+.IP \[bu]
+Defining
+.B _XOPEN_SOURCE
+with a value of 600 or greater produces the same effects as defining
+.B _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+with a value of 200112L or greater.
+Where one sees
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+in the feature test macro requirements in the SYNOPSIS of a man page,
+it is implicit that the following has the same effect:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600
+.EE
+.in
+.IP \[bu]
+Defining
+.B _XOPEN_SOURCE
+with a value of 700 or greater produces the same effects as defining
+.B _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+with a value of 200809L or greater.
+Where one sees
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L

+.\" The details in glibc 2.0 are simpler, but combining a
+.\" a description of them with the details in later glibc versions
+.\" would make for a complicated description.
+.PP
+glibc understands the following feature test macros:
+.TP
+.B __STRICT_ANSI__
+ISO Standard C.
+This macro is implicitly defined by
+.BR gcc (1)
+when invoked with, for example, the
+.I \-std=c99
+or
+.I \-ansi
+flag.
+.TP
+.B _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+Defining this macro causes header files to expose definitions as follows:
+.RS
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The value 1 exposes definitions conforming to POSIX.1-1990 and
+ISO C (1990).
+.IP \[bu]
+The value 2 or greater additionally exposes
+definitions for POSIX.2-1992.
+.IP \[bu]
+The value 199309L or greater additionally exposes
+definitions for POSIX.1b (real-time extensions).
+.\" 199506L functionality is available only since glibc 2.1
+.IP \[bu]
+The value 199506L or greater additionally exposes
+definitions for POSIX.1c (threads).
+.IP \[bu]
+(Since glibc 2.3.3)
+The value 200112L or greater additionally exposes definitions corresponding
+to the POSIX.1-2001 base specification (excluding the XSI extension).
+This value also causes C95 (since glibc 2.12) and
+C99 (since glibc 2.10) features to be exposed
+(in other words, the equivalent of defining
+.BR _ISOC99_SOURCE ).
+.IP \[bu]
+(Since glibc 2.10)
+The value 200809L or greater additionally exposes definitions corresponding
+to the POSIX.1-2008 base specification (excluding the XSI extension).
+.RE
+.TP
+.B _POSIX_SOURCE
+Defining this obsolete macro with any value is equivalent to defining
+.B _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+with the value 1.
+.IP
+Since this macro is obsolete,
+its usage is generally not documented when discussing
+feature test macro requirements in the man pages.
+.TP
+.B _XOPEN_SOURCE
+Defining this macro causes header files to expose definitions as follows:
+.RS
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Defining with any value exposes
+definitions conforming to POSIX.1, POSIX.2, and XPG4.
+.IP \[bu]
+The value 500 or greater additionally exposes
+definitions for SUSv2 (UNIX 98).
+.IP \[bu]
+(Since glibc 2.2) The value 600 or greater additionally exposes
+definitions for SUSv3 (UNIX 03; i.e., the POSIX.1-2001 base specification
+plus the XSI extension) and C99 definitions.
+.IP \[bu]
+(Since glibc 2.10) The value 700 or greater additionally exposes
+definitions for SUSv4 (i.e., the POSIX.1-2008 base specification
+plus the XSI extension).
+.RE
+.IP
+If
+.B __STRICT_ANSI__
+is not defined, or
+.B _XOPEN_SOURCE
+is defined with a value greater than or equal to 500
+.I and
+neither
+.B _POSIX_SOURCE
+nor
+.B _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+is explicitly defined, then
+the following macros are implicitly defined:
+.RS
+.IP \[bu] 3
+.B _POSIX_SOURCE
+is defined with the value 1.
+.IP \[bu]
+.B _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+is defined, according to the value of
+.BR _XOPEN_SOURCE :
+.RS
+.TP
+.BR _XOPEN_SOURCE " < 500"
+.B _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+is defined with the value 2.
+.TP
+.RB "500 <= " _XOPEN_SOURCE " < 600"
+.B _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+is defined with the value 199506L.
+.TP
+.RB "600 <= " _XOPEN_SOURCE " < 700"
+.B _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+is defined with the value 200112L.
+.TP
+.RB "700 <= " _XOPEN_SOURCE " (since glibc 2.10)"
+.B _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+is defined with the value 200809L.
+.RE
+.RE
+.IP
+In addition, defining
+.B _XOPEN_SOURCE
+with a value of 500 or greater produces the same effects as defining
+.BR _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED .
+.TP
+.B _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
+If this macro is defined,
+.I and
+.B _XOPEN_SOURCE
+is defined, then expose definitions corresponding to the XPG4v2
+(SUSv1) UNIX extensions (UNIX 95).
+Defining
+.B _XOPEN_SOURCE
+with a value of 500 or more also produces the same effect as defining
+.BR _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED .
+Use of
+.B _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
+in new source code should be avoided.
+.IP
+Since defining
+.B _XOPEN_SOURCE
+with a value of 500 or more has the same effect as defining
+.BR _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED ,
+the latter (obsolete) feature test macro is generally not described in the
+SYNOPSIS in man pages.
+.TP
+.BR _ISOC99_SOURCE " (since glibc 2.1.3)"
+Exposes declarations consistent with the ISO C99 standard.
+.IP
+Earlier glibc 2.1.x versions recognized an equivalent macro named
+.B _ISOC9X_SOURCE
+(because the C99 standard had not then been finalized).
+Although the use of this macro is obsolete, glibc continues
+to recognize it for backward compatibility.
+.IP
+Defining
+.B _ISOC99_SOURCE
+also exposes ISO C (1990) Amendment 1 ("C95") definitions.
+(The primary change in C95 was support for international character sets.)
+.IP
+Invoking the C compiler with the option
+.I \-std=c99
+produces the same effects as defining this macro.
+.TP
+.BR _ISOC11_SOURCE " (since glibc 2.16)"
+Exposes declarations consistent with the ISO C11 standard.
+Defining this macro also enables C99 and C95 features (like
+.BR _ISOC99_SOURCE ).
+.IP
+Invoking the C compiler with the option
+.I \-std=c11
+produces the same effects as defining this macro.
+.TP
+.B _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
+Expose definitions for the alternative API specified by the
+LFS (Large File Summit) as a "transitional extension" to the
+Single UNIX Specification.
+(See
+.UR http:\:/\:/opengroup.org\:/platform\:/lfs.html
+.UE .)
+The alternative API consists of a set of new objects
+(i.e., functions and types) whose names are suffixed with "64"
+(e.g.,
+.I off64_t
+versus
+.IR off_t ,
+.BR lseek64 ()
+versus
+.BR lseek (),
+etc.).
+New programs should not employ this macro; instead
+.I _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
+should be employed.
+.TP
+.B _LARGEFILE_SOURCE
+This macro was historically used to expose certain functions (specifically
+.BR fseeko (3)
+and
+.BR ftello (3))
+that address limitations of earlier APIs
+.RB ( fseek (3)
+and
+.BR ftell (3))
+that use
+.I long
+for file offsets.
+This macro is implicitly defined if
+.B _XOPEN_SOURCE
+is defined with a value greater than or equal to 500.
+New programs should not employ this macro;
+defining
+.B _XOPEN_SOURCE
+as just described or defining
+.B _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
+with the value 64 is the preferred mechanism to achieve the same result.
+.TP
+.B _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
+Defining this macro with the value 64
+automatically converts references to 32-bit functions and data types
+related to file I/O and filesystem operations into references to
+their 64-bit counterparts.
+This is useful for performing I/O on large files (> 2 Gigabytes)
+on 32-bit systems.
+It is also useful when calling functions like
+.BR copy_file_range (2)
+that were added more recently and that come only in 64-bit flavors.
+(Defining this macro permits correctly written programs to use
+large files with only a recompilation being required.)
+.IP
+64-bit systems naturally permit file sizes greater than 2 Gigabytes,
+and on those systems this macro has no effect.
+.TP
+.B _TIME_BITS
+Defining this macro with the value 64
+changes the width of
+.BR time_t (3type)
+to 64-bit which allows handling of timestamps beyond
+2038.
+It is closely related to
+.B _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
+and depending on implementation, may require it set.
+This macro is available as of glibc 2.34.
+.TP
+.BR _BSD_SOURCE " (deprecated since glibc 2.20)"
+Defining this macro with any value causes header files to expose
+BSD-derived definitions.
+.IP
+In glibc versions up to and including 2.18,
+defining this macro also causes BSD definitions to be preferred in
+some situations where standards conflict, unless one or more of
+.BR _SVID_SOURCE ,
+.BR _POSIX_SOURCE ,
+.BR _POSIX_C_SOURCE ,
+.BR _XOPEN_SOURCE ,
+.BR _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED ,
+or
+.B _GNU_SOURCE
+is defined, in which case BSD definitions are disfavored.
+Since glibc 2.19,
+.B _BSD_SOURCE
+no longer causes BSD definitions to be preferred in case of conflicts.
+.IP
+Since glibc 2.20, this macro is deprecated.

+.B _DEFAULT_SOURCE
+in glibc 2.20 and later to compile without warnings, define
+.I both
+.B _BSD_SOURCE
+and

+.TP
+.BR _SVID_SOURCE " (deprecated since glibc 2.20)"
+Defining this macro with any value causes header files to expose
+System V-derived definitions.
+(SVID == System V Interface Definition; see
+.BR standards (7).)
+.IP
+Since glibc 2.20, this macro is deprecated in the same fashion as
+.BR _BSD_SOURCE .
+.TP
+.BR _DEFAULT_SOURCE " (since glibc 2.19)"
+This macro can be defined to ensure that the "default"
+definitions are provided even when the defaults would otherwise
+be disabled,
+as happens when individual macros are explicitly defined,
+or the compiler is invoked in one of its "standard" modes (e.g.,
+.IR cc\~\-std=c99 ).
+Defining
+.B _DEFAULT_SOURCE
+without defining other individual macros
+or invoking the compiler in one of its "standard" modes has no effect.
+.IP
+The "default" definitions comprise those required by POSIX.1-2008 and ISO C99,
+as well as various definitions originally derived from BSD and System V.
+On glibc 2.19 and earlier, these defaults were approximately equivalent
+to explicitly defining the following:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+cc \-D_BSD_SOURCE \-D_SVID_SOURCE \-D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809
+.EE
+.in
+.TP
+.BR _ATFILE_SOURCE " (since glibc 2.4)"
+Defining this macro with any value causes header files to expose
+declarations of a range of functions with the suffix "at";
+see
+.BR openat (2).
+Since glibc 2.10, this macro is also implicitly defined if
+.B _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+is defined with a value greater than or equal to 200809L.
+.TP
+.B _GNU_SOURCE
+Defining this macro (with any value) implicitly defines
+.BR _ATFILE_SOURCE ,
+.BR _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE ,
+.BR _ISOC99_SOURCE ,
+.BR _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED ,
+.BR _POSIX_SOURCE ,
+.B _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+with the value 200809L
+(200112L before glibc 2.10;
+199506L before glibc 2.5;
+199309L before glibc 2.1)
+and
+.B _XOPEN_SOURCE
+with the value 700
+(600 before glibc 2.10;
+500 before glibc 2.2).
+In addition, various GNU-specific extensions are also exposed.
+.IP
+Since glibc 2.19, defining
+.B _GNU_SOURCE
+also has the effect of implicitly defining
+.BR _DEFAULT_SOURCE .
+Before glibc 2.20, defining
+.B _GNU_SOURCE
+also had the effect of implicitly defining
+.B _BSD_SOURCE
+and
+.BR _SVID_SOURCE .
+.TP
+.B _REENTRANT
+Historically, on various C libraries
+it was necessary to define this macro in all
+multithreaded code.
+.\" Zack Weinberg
+.\" There did once exist C libraries where it was necessary. The ones
+.\" I remember were proprietary Unix vendor libcs from the mid-1990s
+.\" You would get completely unlocked stdio without _REENTRANT.
+(Some C libraries may still require this.)
+In glibc,
+this macro also exposed definitions of certain reentrant functions.
+.IP
+However, glibc has been thread-safe by default for many years;
+since glibc 2.3, the only effect of defining
+.B _REENTRANT
+has been to enable one or two of the same declarations that
+are also enabled by defining
+.B _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+with a value of 199606L or greater.
+.IP
+.B _REENTRANT
+is now obsolete.
+In glibc 2.25 and later, defining
+.B _REENTRANT
+is equivalent to defining
+.B _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+with the value 199606L.
+If a higher POSIX conformance level is
+selected by any other means (such as
+.B _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+itself,
+.BR _XOPEN_SOURCE ,
+.BR _DEFAULT_SOURCE ,
+or
+.BR _GNU_SOURCE ),
+then defining
+.B _REENTRANT
+has no effect.
+.IP
+This macro is automatically defined if one compiles with
+.IR cc\~\-pthread .
+.TP
+.B _THREAD_SAFE
+Synonym for the (deprecated)
+.BR _REENTRANT ,
+provided for compatibility with some other implementations.
+.TP
+.BR _FORTIFY_SOURCE " (since glibc 2.3.4)"
+.\" For more detail, see:
+.\" http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-09/msg02055.html

+.\" * From: Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat dot com>
+.\" * To: gcc-patches at gcc dot gnu dot org
+.\" * Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2004 04:16:40 -0400
+Defining this macro causes some lightweight checks to be performed
+to detect some buffer overflow errors when employing
+various string and memory manipulation functions (for example,
+.BR memcpy (3),
+.BR memset (3),
+.BR stpcpy (3),
+.BR strcpy (3),
+.BR strncpy (3),
+.BR strcat (3),
+.BR strncat (3),
+.BR sprintf (3),
+.BR snprintf (3),
+.BR vsprintf (3),
+.BR vsnprintf (3),
+.BR gets (3),
+and wide character variants thereof).
+For some functions, argument consistency is checked;
+for example, a check is made that
+.BR open (2)
+has been supplied with a
+.I mode
+argument when the specified flags include
+.BR O_CREAT .
+Not all problems are detected, just some common cases.
+.\" Look for __USE_FORTIFY_LEVEL in the header files
+.IP
+If
+.B _FORTIFY_SOURCE
+is set to 1, with compiler optimization level 1
+.RI ( "gcc\ \-O1" )
+and above, checks that shouldn't change the behavior of
+conforming programs are performed.
+With
+.B _FORTIFY_SOURCE
+set to 2, some more checking is added, but
+some conforming programs might fail.
+.\" For example, given the following code
+.\" int d;
+.\" char buf[1000], buf[1000];

+.\" cause the following diagnostic at run time at the snprintf() call
+.\"
+.\" *** %n in writable segment detected ***
+.\" Aborted (core dumped)
+.\"
+.IP
+Some of the checks can be performed at compile time
+(via macros logic implemented in header files),
+and result in compiler warnings;
+other checks take place at run time,
+and result in a run-time error if the check fails.
+.IP
+With
+.B _FORTIFY_SOURCE
+set to 3, additional checking is added to intercept
+some function calls used with an argument of variable size
+where the compiler can deduce an upper bound for its value.
+For example, a program where

+can now be fortified.
+.IP
+Use of this macro requires compiler support, available since

+.SH HISTORY
+.B _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
+was specified by XPG4v2 (aka SUSv1), but is not present in SUSv2 and later.
+.SH NOTES
+.I <features.h>
+is a Linux/glibc-specific header file.
+Other systems have an analogous file, but typically with a different name.
+This header file is automatically included by other header files as
+required: it is not necessary to explicitly include it in order to
+employ feature test macros.
+.PP
+According to which of the above feature test macros are defined,
+.I <features.h>
+internally defines various other macros that are checked by
+other glibc header files.
+These macros have names prefixed by two underscores (e.g.,
+.BR __USE_MISC ).
+Programs should
+.I never
+define these macros directly:
+instead, the appropriate feature test macro(s) from the
+list above should be employed.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The program below can be used to explore how the various
+feature test macros are set depending on the glibc version
+and what feature test macros are explicitly set.
+The following shell session, on a system with glibc 2.10,
+shows some examples of what we would see:

+.SH NAME
+fifo \- first-in first-out special file, named pipe
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+A FIFO special file (a named pipe) is similar to a pipe,
+except that it is accessed as part of the filesystem.
+It can be opened by multiple processes for reading or
+writing.
+When processes are exchanging data via the FIFO,
+the kernel passes all data internally without writing it
+to the filesystem.
+Thus, the FIFO special file has no
+contents on the filesystem; the filesystem entry merely
+serves as a reference point so that processes can access
+the pipe using a name in the filesystem.
+.PP
+The kernel maintains exactly one pipe object for each
+FIFO special file that is opened by at least one process.
+The FIFO must be opened on both ends (reading and writing)
+before data can be passed.
+Normally, opening the FIFO blocks
+until the other end is opened also.
+.PP
+A process can open a FIFO in nonblocking mode.
+In this
+case, opening for read-only succeeds even if no one has
+opened on the write side yet and opening for write-only
+fails with
+.B ENXIO
+(no such device or address) unless the other
+end has already been opened.
+.PP
+Under Linux, opening a FIFO for read and write will succeed
+both in blocking and nonblocking mode.
+POSIX leaves this
+behavior undefined.
+This can be used to open a FIFO for
+writing while there are no readers available.
+A process
+that uses both ends of the connection in order to communicate
+with itself should be very careful to avoid deadlocks.
+.SH NOTES
+For details of the semantics of I/O on FIFOs, see
+.BR pipe (7).
+.PP
+When a process tries to write to a FIFO that is not opened
+for read on the other side, the process is sent a
+.B SIGPIPE
+signal.
+.PP
+FIFO special files can be created by
+.BR mkfifo (3),

+.I ls\~\-l
+with the file type \[aq]p\[aq].

+.TH futex 7 2022-10-30 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+futex \- fast user-space locking
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <linux/futex.h>
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The Linux kernel provides futexes ("Fast user-space mutexes")
+as a building block for fast user-space
+locking and semaphores.
+Futexes are very basic and lend themselves well for building higher-level
+locking abstractions such as
+mutexes, condition variables, read-write locks, barriers, and semaphores.
+.PP
+Most programmers will in fact not be using futexes directly but will
+instead rely on system libraries built on them,
+such as the Native POSIX Thread Library (NPTL) (see
+.BR pthreads (7)).
+.PP
+A futex is identified by a piece of memory which can be
+shared between processes or threads.
+In these different processes, the futex need not have identical addresses.
+In its bare form, a futex has semaphore semantics;
+it is a counter that can be incremented and decremented atomically;
+processes can wait for the value to become positive.
+.PP
+Futex operation occurs entirely in user space for the noncontended case.
+The kernel is involved only to arbitrate the contended case.
+As any sane design will strive for noncontention,
+futexes are also optimized for this situation.
+.PP
+In its bare form, a futex is an aligned integer which is
+touched only by atomic assembler instructions.
+This integer is four bytes long on all platforms.
+Processes can share this integer using
+.BR mmap (2),
+via shared memory segments, or because they share memory space,
+in which case the application is commonly called multithreaded.
+.SS Semantics
+Any futex operation starts in user space,
+but it may be necessary to communicate with the kernel using the
+.BR futex (2)
+system call.
+.PP
+To "up" a futex, execute the proper assembler instructions that
+will cause the host CPU to atomically increment the integer.
+Afterward, check if it has in fact changed from 0 to 1, in which case
+there were no waiters and the operation is done.
+This is the noncontended case which is fast and should be common.
+.PP
+In the contended case, the atomic increment changed the counter
+from \-1 (or some other negative number).
+If this is detected, there are waiters.
+User space should now set the counter to 1 and instruct the
+kernel to wake up any waiters using the
+.B FUTEX_WAKE
+operation.
+.PP
+Waiting on a futex, to "down" it, is the reverse operation.
+Atomically decrement the counter and check if it changed to 0,
+in which case the operation is done and the futex was uncontended.
+In all other circumstances, the process should set the counter to \-1
+and request that the kernel wait for another process to up the futex.
+This is done using the
+.B FUTEX_WAIT
+operation.
+.PP
+The
+.BR futex (2)
+system call can optionally be passed a timeout specifying how long
+the kernel should
+wait for the futex to be upped.
+In this case, semantics are more complex and the programmer is referred
+to
+.BR futex (2)
+for
+more details.
+The same holds for asynchronous futex waiting.
+.SH VERSIONS
+Initial futex support was merged in Linux 2.5.7
+but with different semantics from those described above.
+Current semantics are available from Linux 2.5.40 onward.
+.SH NOTES
+To reiterate, bare futexes are not intended as an easy-to-use
+abstraction for end users.
+Implementors are expected to be assembly literate and to have read
+the sources of the futex user-space library referenced
+below.
+.PP
+This man page illustrates the most common use of the
+.BR futex (2)
+primitives; it is by no means the only one.

+.TH glob 7 2023-03-08 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+glob \- globbing pathnames
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Long ago, in UNIX\ V6, there was a program
+.I /etc/glob
+that would expand wildcard patterns.
+Soon afterward this became a shell built-in.
+.PP
+These days there is also a library routine
+.BR glob (3)
+that will perform this function for a user program.
+.PP
+The rules are as follows (POSIX.2, 3.13).
+.SS Wildcard matching
+A string is a wildcard pattern if it contains one of the
+characters \[aq]?\[aq], \[aq]*\[aq], or \[aq][\[aq].
+Globbing is the operation
+that expands a wildcard pattern into the list of pathnames
+matching the pattern.
+Matching is defined by:
+.PP
+A \[aq]?\[aq] (not between brackets) matches any single character.
+.PP
+A \[aq]*\[aq] (not between brackets) matches any string,
+including the empty string.
+.PP
+.B "Character classes"
+.PP
+An expression "\fI[...]\fP" where the first character after the
+leading \[aq][\[aq] is not an \[aq]!\[aq] matches a single character,
+namely any of the characters enclosed by the brackets.
+The string enclosed by the brackets cannot be empty;
+therefore \[aq]]\[aq] can be allowed between the brackets, provided
+that it is the first character.
+(Thus, "\fI[][!]\fP" matches the
+three characters \[aq][\[aq], \[aq]]\[aq], and \[aq]!\[aq].)
+.PP
+.B Ranges
+.PP
+There is one special convention:
+two characters separated by \[aq]\-\[aq] denote a range.
+(Thus,
+"\fI[A\-Fa\-f0\-9]\fP" is equivalent to "\fI[ABCDEFabcdef0123456789]\fP".)
+One may include \[aq]\-\[aq] in its literal meaning
+by making it the first or last character between the brackets.
+(Thus,
+"\fI[]\-]\fP" matches just the two characters \[aq]]\[aq] and \[aq]\-\[aq],
+and "\fI[\-\-0]\fP" matches the
+three characters \[aq]\-\[aq], \[aq].\[aq], and \[aq]0\[aq],
+since \[aq]/\[aq] cannot be matched.)
+.PP
+.B Complementation
+.PP
+An expression "\fI[!...]\fP" matches a single character, namely
+any character that is not matched by the expression obtained
+by removing the first \[aq]!\[aq] from it.
+(Thus, "\fI[!]a\-]\fP" matches any
+single character except \[aq]]\[aq], \[aq]a\[aq], and \[aq]\-\[aq].)
+.PP
+One can remove the special meaning of \[aq]?\[aq], \[aq]*\[aq], and \[aq][\[aq]
+by preceding them by a backslash,
+or,
+in case this is part of a shell command line,
+enclosing them in quotes.
+Between brackets these characters stand for themselves.
+Thus, "\fI[[?*\e]\fP" matches the
+four characters \[aq][\[aq], \[aq]?\[aq], \[aq]*\[aq], and \[aq]\e\[aq].
+.SS Pathnames
+Globbing is applied on each of the components of a pathname
+separately.
+A \[aq]/\[aq] in a pathname cannot be matched by a \[aq]?\[aq] or \[aq]*\[aq]
+wildcard, or by a range like "\fI[.\-0]\fP".
+A range containing an explicit \[aq]/\[aq] character is syntactically incorrect.
+(POSIX requires that syntactically incorrect patterns are left unchanged.)
+.PP
+If a filename starts with a \[aq].\[aq],
+this character must be matched explicitly.
+(Thus, \fIrm\ *\fP will not remove .profile, and \fItar\ c\ *\fP will not
+archive all your files; \fItar\ c\ .\fP is better.)
+.SS Empty lists
+The nice and simple rule given above: "expand a wildcard pattern
+into the list of matching pathnames" was the original UNIX
+definition.
+It allowed one to have patterns that expand into
+an empty list, as in
+.PP
+.nf
+ xv \-wait 0 *.gif *.jpg
+.fi
+.PP
+where perhaps no *.gif files are present (and this is not
+an error).
+However, POSIX requires that a wildcard pattern is left
+unchanged when it is syntactically incorrect, or the list of
+matching pathnames is empty.
+With
+.I bash
+one can force the classical behavior using this command:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+shopt \-s nullglob
+.EE
+.in
+.\" In Bash v1, by setting allow_null_glob_expansion=true
+.PP
+(Similar problems occur elsewhere.
+For example, where old scripts have
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+rm \`find . \-name "*\[ti]"\`
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+new scripts require
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+rm \-f nosuchfile \`find . \-name "*\[ti]"\`
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+to avoid error messages from
+.I rm
+called with an empty argument list.)
+.SH NOTES
+.SS Regular expressions
+Note that wildcard patterns are not regular expressions,
+although they are a bit similar.
+First of all, they match
+filenames, rather than text, and secondly, the conventions
+are not the same: for example, in a regular expression \[aq]*\[aq] means zero or
+more copies of the preceding thing.
+.PP
+Now that regular expressions have bracket expressions where
+the negation is indicated by a \[aq]\[ha]\[aq], POSIX has declared the
+effect of a wildcard pattern "\fI[\[ha]...]\fP" to be undefined.
+.SS Character classes and internationalization
+Of course ranges were originally meant to be ASCII ranges,
+so that "\fI[\ \-%]\fP" stands for "\fI[\ !"#$%]\fP" and "\fI[a\-z]\fP" stands
+for "any lowercase letter".
+Some UNIX implementations generalized this so that a range X\-Y
+stands for the set of characters with code between the codes for
+X and for Y.
+However, this requires the user to know the
+character coding in use on the local system, and moreover, is
+not convenient if the collating sequence for the local alphabet
+differs from the ordering of the character codes.
+Therefore, POSIX extended the bracket notation greatly,
+both for wildcard patterns and for regular expressions.
+In the above we saw three types of items that can occur in a bracket
+expression: namely (i) the negation, (ii) explicit single characters,
+and (iii) ranges.
+POSIX specifies ranges in an internationally
+more useful way and adds three more types:
+.PP
+(iii) Ranges X\-Y comprise all characters that fall between X
+and Y (inclusive) in the current collating sequence as defined
+by the
+.B LC_COLLATE
+category in the current locale.
+.PP
+(iv) Named character classes, like
+.PP
+.nf
+[:alnum:] [:alpha:] [:blank:] [:cntrl:]
+[:digit:] [:graph:] [:lower:] [:print:]
+[:punct:] [:space:] [:upper:] [:xdigit:]
+.fi
+.PP
+so that one can say "\fI[[:lower:]]\fP" instead of "\fI[a\-z]\fP", and have
+things work in Denmark, too, where there are three letters past \[aq]z\[aq]
+in the alphabet.
+These character classes are defined by the
+.B LC_CTYPE
+category
+in the current locale.
+.PP
+(v) Collating symbols, like "\fI[.ch.]\fP" or "\fI[.a-acute.]\fP",
+where the string between "\fI[.\fP" and "\fI.]\fP" is a collating
+element defined for the current locale.
+Note that this may
+be a multicharacter element.
+.PP
+(vi) Equivalence class expressions, like "\fI[=a=]\fP",
+where the string between "\fI[=\fP" and "\fI=]\fP" is any collating
+element from its equivalence class, as defined for the
+current locale.
+For example, "\fI[[=a=]]\fP" might be equivalent
+to "\fI[a\('a\(`a\(:a\(^a]\fP", that is,
+to "\fI[a[.a-acute.][.a-grave.][.a-umlaut.][.a-circumflex.]]\fP".

+.SH NAME
+hier \- description of the filesystem hierarchy
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+A typical Linux system has, among others, the following directories:
+.TP
+.I /
+This is the root directory.
+This is where the whole tree starts.
+.TP
+.I /bin
+This directory contains executable programs which are needed in
+single user mode and to bring the system up or repair it.
+.TP
+.I /boot
+Contains static files for the boot loader.
+This directory holds only
+the files which are needed during the boot process.
+The map installer
+and configuration files should go to
+.I /sbin
+and
+.IR /etc .
+The operating system kernel (initrd for example) must be located in either
+.I /
+or
+.IR /boot .
+.TP
+.I /dev
+Special or device files, which refer to physical devices.
+See
+.BR mknod (1).
+.TP
+.I /etc
+Contains configuration files which are local to the machine.
+Some
+larger software packages, like X11, can have their own subdirectories
+below
+.IR /etc .
+Site-wide configuration files may be placed here or in
+.IR /usr/etc .
+Nevertheless, programs should always look for these files in
+.I /etc
+and you may have links for these files to
+.IR /usr/etc .
+.TP
+.I /etc/opt
+Host-specific configuration files for add-on applications installed
+in
+.IR /opt .
+.TP
+.I /etc/sgml
+This directory contains the configuration files for SGML (optional).
+.TP
+.I /etc/skel
+When a new user account is created, files from this directory are
+usually copied into the user's home directory.
+.TP
+.I /etc/X11
+Configuration files for the X11 window system (optional).
+.TP
+.I /etc/xml
+This directory contains the configuration files for XML (optional).
+.TP
+.I /home
+On machines with home directories for users, these are usually beneath
+this directory, directly or not.
+The structure of this directory
+depends on local administration decisions (optional).
+.TP
+.I /lib
+This directory should hold those shared libraries that are necessary
+to boot the system and to run the commands in the root filesystem.
+.TP
+.I /lib<qual>
+These directories are variants of
+.I /lib
+on system which support more than one binary format requiring separate
+libraries (optional).
+.TP
+.I /lib/modules
+Loadable kernel modules (optional).
+.TP
+.I /lost+found
+This directory contains items lost in the filesystem.
+These items are usually chunks of files mangled as a consequence of
+a faulty disk or a system crash.
+.TP
+.I /media
+This directory contains mount points for removable media such as CD
+and DVD disks or USB sticks.
+On systems where more than one device exists
+for mounting a certain type of media,
+mount directories can be created by appending a digit
+to the name of those available above starting with '0',
+but the unqualified name must also exist.
+.TP

+.SH NAME
+hostname \- hostname resolution description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Hostnames are domains, where a domain is a hierarchical, dot-separated
+list of subdomains; for example, the machine "monet", in the "example"
+subdomain of the "com" domain would be represented as "monet.example.com".
+.PP
+Each element of the hostname must be from 1 to 63 characters long and the
+entire hostname, including the dots, can be at most 253 characters long.
+Valid characters for hostnames are
+.BR ASCII (7)
+letters from
+.I a
+to
+.IR z ,
+the digits from
+.I 0
+to
+.IR 9 ,
+and the hyphen (\-).
+A hostname may not start with a hyphen.
+.PP
+Hostnames are often used with network client and server programs,
+which must generally translate the name to an address for use.
+(This task is generally performed by either
+.BR getaddrinfo (3)
+or the obsolete
+.BR gethostbyname (3).)
+.PP
+Hostnames are resolved by the NSS framework in glibc according
+to the
+.B hosts
+configuration in
+.BR nsswitch.conf .
+The DNS-based name resolver
+(in the
+.B dns
+NSS service module) resolves them in the following fashion.
+.PP
+If the name consists of a single component, that is, contains no dot,
+and if the environment variable
+.B HOSTALIASES
+is set to the name of a file,
+that file is searched for any string matching the input hostname.
+The file should consist of lines made up of two white-space separated strings,
+the first of which is the hostname alias,
+and the second of which is the complete hostname
+to be substituted for that alias.
+If a case-insensitive match is found between the hostname to be resolved
+and the first field of a line in the file, the substituted name is looked
+up with no further processing.
+.PP
+If the input name ends with a trailing dot,
+the trailing dot is removed,
+and the remaining name is looked up with no further processing.
+.PP
+If the input name does not end with a trailing dot, it is looked up
+by searching through a list of domains until a match is found.
+The default search list includes first the local domain,
+then its parent domains with at least 2 name components (longest first).
+For example,
+in the domain cs.example.com, the name lithium.cchem will be checked first
+as lithium.cchem.cs.example and then as lithium.cchem.example.com.
+lithium.cchem.com will not be tried, as there is only one component
+remaining from the local domain.
+The search path can be changed from the default
+by a system-wide configuration file (see
+.BR resolver (5)).

+.SH NAME
+icmp \- Linux IPv4 ICMP kernel module.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This kernel protocol module implements the Internet Control
+Message Protocol defined in RFC\ 792.
+It is used to signal error conditions and for diagnosis.
+The user doesn't interact directly with this module;
+instead it communicates with the other protocols in the kernel
+and these pass the ICMP errors to the application layers.
+The kernel ICMP module also answers ICMP requests.
+.PP
+A user protocol may receive ICMP packets for all local sockets by opening
+a raw socket with the protocol
+.BR IPPROTO_ICMP .
+See
+.BR raw (7)
+for more information.
+The types of ICMP packets passed to the socket can be filtered using the
+.B ICMP_FILTER
+socket option.
+ICMP packets are always processed by the kernel too, even
+when passed to a user socket.
+.PP
+Linux limits the rate of ICMP error packets to each destination.
+.B ICMP_REDIRECT
+and
+.B ICMP_DEST_UNREACH
+are also limited by the destination route of the incoming packets.
+.SS /proc interfaces
+ICMP supports a set of
+.I /proc
+interfaces to configure some global IP parameters.
+The parameters can be accessed by reading or writing files in the directory
+.IR /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ .
+Most of these parameters are rate limitations for specific ICMP types.
+Linux 2.2 uses a token bucket filter to limit ICMPs.
+.\" FIXME . better description needed
+The value is the timeout in jiffies until the token bucket filter is
+cleared after a burst.
+A jiffy is a system dependent unit, usually 10ms on i386 and
+about 1ms on alpha and ia64.
+.TP

+.\" Precisely: from Linux 2.1.102
+Maximum rate to send ICMP Destination Unreachable packets.

+If enabled, the message will be sent with the primary address of
+the interface that received the packet that caused the ICMP error.
+This is the behavior that many network administrators will expect from
+a router.

+.SH NAME
+inode \- file inode information
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Each file has an inode containing metadata about the file.
+An application can retrieve this metadata using
+.BR stat (2)
+(or related calls), which returns a
+.I stat
+structure, or
+.BR statx (2),
+which returns a
+.I statx
+structure.
+.PP
+The following is a list of the information typically found in,
+or associated with, the file inode,
+with the names of the corresponding structure fields returned by
+.BR stat (2)
+and
+.BR statx (2):
+.TP
+Device where inode resides
+\fIstat.st_dev\fP; \fIstatx.stx_dev_minor\fP and \fIstatx.stx_dev_major\fP
+.IP
+Each inode (as well as the associated file) resides in a filesystem
+that is hosted on a device.
+That device is identified by the combination of its major ID
+(which identifies the general class of device)
+and minor ID (which identifies a specific instance in the general class).
+.TP
+Inode number
+\fIstat.st_ino\fP; \fIstatx.stx_ino\fP
+.IP
+Each file in a filesystem has a unique inode number.
+Inode numbers are guaranteed to be unique only within a filesystem
+(i.e., the same inode numbers may be used by different filesystems,
+which is the reason that hard links may not cross filesystem boundaries).
+This field contains the file's inode number.
+.TP
+File type and mode
+\fIstat.st_mode\fP; \fIstatx.stx_mode\fP
+.IP
+See the discussion of file type and mode, below.
+.TP
+Link count
+\fIstat.st_nlink\fP; \fIstatx.stx_nlink\fP
+.IP
+This field contains the number of hard links to the file.
+Additional links to an existing file are created using
+.BR link (2).
+.TP
+User ID
+.I st_uid
+\fIstat.st_uid\fP; \fIstatx.stx_uid\fP
+.IP
+This field records the user ID of the owner of the file.
+For newly created files,
+the file user ID is the effective user ID of the creating process.
+The user ID of a file can be changed using
+.BR chown (2).
+.TP
+Group ID
+\fIstat.st_gid\fP; \fIstatx.stx_gid\fP
+.IP
+The inode records the ID of the group owner of the file.
+For newly created files,
+the file group ID is either the group ID of the parent directory or
+the effective group ID of the creating process,
+depending on whether or not the set-group-ID bit
+is set on the parent directory (see below).
+The group ID of a file can be changed using
+.BR chown (2).
+.TP
+Device represented by this inode
+\fIstat.st_rdev\fP; \fIstatx.stx_rdev_minor\fP and \fIstatx.stx_rdev_major\fP
+.IP
+If this file (inode) represents a device,
+then the inode records the major and minor ID of that device.
+.TP
+File size
+\fIstat.st_size\fP; \fIstatx.stx_size\fP
+.IP
+This field gives the size of the file (if it is a regular
+file or a symbolic link) in bytes.
+The size of a symbolic link is the length of the pathname
+it contains, without a terminating null byte.
+.TP
+Preferred block size for I/O
+\fIstat.st_blksize\fP; \fIstatx.stx_blksize\fP
+.IP
+This field gives the "preferred" blocksize for efficient filesystem I/O.
+(Writing to a file in smaller chunks may cause
+an inefficient read-modify-rewrite.)
+.TP
+Number of blocks allocated to the file
+\fIstat.st_blocks\fP; \fIstatx.stx_size\fP
+.IP
+This field indicates the number of blocks allocated to the file,
+512-byte units,
+(This may be smaller than
+.IR st_size /512
+when the file has holes.)
+.IP
+The POSIX.1 standard notes
+.\" Rationale for sys/stat.h in POSIX.1-2008
+that the unit for the
+.I st_blocks
+member of the
+.I stat
+structure is not defined by the standard.
+On many implementations it is 512 bytes;
+on a few systems, a different unit is used, such as 1024.
+Furthermore, the unit may differ on a per-filesystem basis.
+.TP
+Last access timestamp (atime)
+\fIstat.st_atime\fP; \fIstatx.stx_atime\fP
+.IP
+This is the file's last access timestamp.
+It is changed by file accesses, for example, by
+.BR execve (2),
+.BR mknod (2),
+.BR pipe (2),
+.BR utime (2),
+and
+.BR read (2)
+(of more than zero bytes).
+Other interfaces, such as
+.BR mmap (2),
+may or may not update the atime timestamp
+.IP
+Some filesystem types allow mounting in such a way that file
+and/or directory accesses do not cause an update of the atime timestamp.
+(See
+.IR noatime ,
+.IR nodiratime ,
+and
+.I relatime
+in
+.BR mount (8),
+and related information in
+.BR mount (2).)
+In addition, the atime timestamp
+is not updated if a file is opened with the
+.B O_NOATIME
+flag; see
+.BR open (2).
+.TP
+File creation (birth) timestamp (btime)
+(not returned in the \fIstat\fP structure); \fIstatx.stx_btime\fP
+.IP
+The file's creation timestamp.
+This is set on file creation and not changed subsequently.
+.IP
+The btime timestamp was not historically present on UNIX systems
+and is not currently supported by most Linux filesystems.
+.\" FIXME Is it supported on ext4 and XFS?
+.TP
+Last modification timestamp (mtime)
+\fIstat.st_mtime\fP; \fIstatx.stx_mtime\fP
+.IP
+This is the file's last modification timestamp.
+It is changed by file modifications, for example, by
+.BR mknod (2),
+.BR truncate (2),
+.BR utime (2),
+and
+.BR write (2)
+(of more than zero bytes).
+Moreover, the mtime timestamp
+of a directory is changed by the creation or deletion of files
+in that directory.
+The mtime timestamp is
+.I not
+changed for changes in owner, group, hard link count, or mode.
+.TP
+Last status change timestamp (ctime)
+\fIstat.st_ctime\fP; \fIstatx.stx_ctime\fP
+.IP
+This is the file's last status change timestamp.
+It is changed by writing or by setting inode information
+(i.e., owner, group, link count, mode, etc.).
+.PP
+The timestamp fields report time measured with a zero point at the
+.IR Epoch ,
+1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000, UTC (see
+.BR time (7)).
+.PP
+Nanosecond timestamps are supported on XFS, JFS, Btrfs, and
+ext4 (since Linux 2.6.23).
+.\" commit ef7f38359ea8b3e9c7f2cae9a4d4935f55ca9e80
+Nanosecond timestamps are not supported in ext2, ext3, and Reiserfs.
+In order to return timestamps with nanosecond precision,
+the timestamp fields in the
+.I stat
+and
+.I statx
+structures are defined as structures that include a nanosecond component.
+See
+.BR stat (2)
+and
+.BR statx (2)
+for details.
+On filesystems that do not support subsecond timestamps,
+the nanosecond fields in the
+.I stat
+and
+.I statx
+structures are returned with the value 0.
+.\"
+.SS The file type and mode
+The
+.I stat.st_mode
+field (for
+.BR statx (2),
+the
+.I statx.stx_mode
+field) contains the file type and mode.
+.PP
+POSIX refers to the
+.I stat.st_mode
+bits corresponding to the mask
+.B S_IFMT
+(see below) as the
+.IR "file type" ,
+the 12 bits corresponding to the mask 07777 as the
+.I file mode bits
+and the least significant 9 bits (0777) as the
+.IR "file permission bits" .
+.PP
+The following mask values are defined for the file type:
+.in +4n
+.TS
+lB l l.
+S_IFMT 0170000 bit mask for the file type bit field
+
+S_IFSOCK 0140000 socket
+S_IFLNK 0120000 symbolic link
+S_IFREG 0100000 regular file
+S_IFBLK 0060000 block device
+S_IFDIR 0040000 directory
+S_IFCHR 0020000 character device
+S_IFIFO 0010000 FIFO
+.TE
+.in
+.PP
+Thus, to test for a regular file (for example), one could write:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+stat(pathname, &sb);
+if ((sb.st_mode & S_IFMT) == S_IFREG) {
+ /* Handle regular file */
+}
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+Because tests of the above form are common, additional
+macros are defined by POSIX to allow the test of the file type in
+.I st_mode
+to be written more concisely:
+.RS 4
+.TP 1.2i
+.BR S_ISREG (m)
+is it a regular file?
+.TP
+.BR S_ISDIR (m)
+directory?
+.TP
+.BR S_ISCHR (m)
+character device?
+.TP
+.BR S_ISBLK (m)
+block device?
+.TP
+.BR S_ISFIFO (m)
+FIFO (named pipe)?
+.TP
+.BR S_ISLNK (m)
+symbolic link? (Not in POSIX.1-1996.)
+.TP
+.BR S_ISSOCK (m)
+socket? (Not in POSIX.1-1996.)
+.RE
+.PP
+The preceding code snippet could thus be rewritten as:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+stat(pathname, &sb);
+if (S_ISREG(sb.st_mode)) {
+ /* Handle regular file */
+}
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+The definitions of most of the above file type test macros
+are provided if any of the following feature test macros is defined:
+.B _BSD_SOURCE
+(in glibc 2.19 and earlier),
+.B _SVID_SOURCE
+(in glibc 2.19 and earlier),
+or
+.B _DEFAULT_SOURCE
+(in glibc 2.20 and later).
+In addition, definitions of all of the above macros except
+.B S_IFSOCK
+and
+.BR S_ISSOCK ()
+are provided if
+.B _XOPEN_SOURCE
+is defined.
+.PP
+The definition of
+.B S_IFSOCK
+can also be exposed either by defining
+.B _XOPEN_SOURCE
+with a value of 500 or greater or (since glibc 2.24) by defining both
+.B _XOPEN_SOURCE

+The set-group-ID bit
+.RB ( S_ISGID )
+has several special uses.
+For a directory, it indicates that BSD semantics are to be used
+for that directory: files created there inherit their group ID from
+the directory, not from the effective group ID of the creating process,
+and directories created there will also get the
+.B S_ISGID
+bit set.
+For an executable file, the set-group-ID bit causes the effective group ID
+of a process that executes the file to change as described in
+.BR execve (2).
+For a file that does not have the group execution bit
+.RB ( S_IXGRP )
+set,
+the set-group-ID bit indicates mandatory file/record locking.
+.PP
+The sticky bit
+.RB ( S_ISVTX )
+on a directory means that a file
+in that directory can be renamed or deleted only by the owner
+of the file, by the owner of the directory, and by a privileged
+process.

+.SH NAME
+inotify \- monitoring filesystem events
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.I inotify
+API provides a mechanism for monitoring filesystem events.
+Inotify can be used to monitor individual files,
+or to monitor directories.
+When a directory is monitored, inotify will return events
+for the directory itself, and for files inside the directory.
+.PP
+The following system calls are used with this API:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+.BR inotify_init (2)
+creates an inotify instance and returns a file descriptor
+referring to the inotify instance.
+The more recent
+.BR inotify_init1 (2)
+is like
+.BR inotify_init (2),
+but has a
+.I flags
+argument that provides access to some extra functionality.
+.IP \[bu]
+.BR inotify_add_watch (2)
+manipulates the "watch list" associated with an inotify instance.
+Each item ("watch") in the watch list specifies the pathname of
+a file or directory,
+along with some set of events that the kernel should monitor for the
+file referred to by that pathname.
+.BR inotify_add_watch (2)
+either creates a new watch item, or modifies an existing watch.
+Each watch has a unique "watch descriptor", an integer
+returned by
+.BR inotify_add_watch (2)
+when the watch is created.
+.IP \[bu]
+When events occur for monitored files and directories,
+those events are made available to the application as structured data that
+can be read from the inotify file descriptor using
+.BR read (2)
+(see below).
+.IP \[bu]
+.BR inotify_rm_watch (2)
+removes an item from an inotify watch list.
+.IP \[bu]
+When all file descriptors referring to an inotify
+instance have been closed (using
+.BR close (2)),
+the underlying object and its resources are
+freed for reuse by the kernel;
+all associated watches are automatically freed.
+.PP
+With careful programming,
+an application can use inotify to efficiently monitor and cache
+the state of a set of filesystem objects.
+However, robust applications should allow for the fact that bugs
+in the monitoring logic or races of the kind described below
+may leave the cache inconsistent with the filesystem state.
+It is probably wise to do some consistency checking,
+and rebuild the cache when inconsistencies are detected.
+.SS Reading events from an inotify file descriptor
+To determine what events have occurred, an application
+.BR read (2)s
+from the inotify file descriptor.
+If no events have so far occurred, then,
+assuming a blocking file descriptor,
+.BR read (2)
+will block until at least one event occurs
+(unless interrupted by a signal,
+in which case the call fails with the error
+.BR EINTR ;
+see
+.BR signal (7)).
+.PP
+Each successful
+.BR read (2)
+returns a buffer containing one or more of the following structures:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct inotify_event {
+ int wd; /* Watch descriptor */
+.\" FIXME . The type of the 'wd' field should probably be "int32_t".
+.\" I submitted a patch to fix this. See the LKML thread
+.\" "[patch] Fix type errors in inotify interfaces", 18 Nov 2008
+.\" glibc bug filed: https://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7040
+ uint32_t mask; /* Mask describing event */
+ uint32_t cookie; /* Unique cookie associating related
+ events (for rename(2)) */
+ uint32_t len; /* Size of \fIname\fP field */
+ char name[]; /* Optional null\-terminated name */
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+.I wd
+identifies the watch for which this event occurs.
+It is one of the watch descriptors returned by a previous call to
+.BR inotify_add_watch (2).
+.PP
+.I mask
+contains bits that describe the event that occurred (see below).
+.PP
+.I cookie
+is a unique integer that connects related events.
+Currently, this is used only for rename events, and
+allows the resulting pair of
+.B IN_MOVED_FROM
+and
+.B IN_MOVED_TO
+events to be connected by the application.
+For all other event types,
+.I cookie
+is set to 0.
+.PP
+The
+.I name
+field is present only when an event is returned
+for a file inside a watched directory;
+it identifies the filename within the watched directory.
+This filename is null-terminated,
+and may include further null bytes (\[aq]\e0\[aq])
+to align subsequent reads to a suitable address boundary.
+.PP
+The
+.I len
+field counts all of the bytes in
+.IR name ,
+including the null bytes;
+the length of each
+.I inotify_event
+structure is thus
+.IR "sizeof(struct inotify_event)+len" .
+.PP
+The behavior when the buffer given to
+.BR read (2)
+is too small to return information about the next event depends
+on the kernel version: before Linux 2.6.21,
+.BR read (2)
+returns 0; since Linux 2.6.21,
+.BR read (2)
+fails with the error
+.BR EINVAL .

+By default, when watching events on the children of a directory,
+events are generated for children even after they have been unlinked
+from the directory.
+This can result in large numbers of uninteresting events for
+some applications (e.g., if watching
+.IR /tmp ,
+in which many applications create temporary files whose
+names are immediately unlinked).
+Specifying
+.B IN_EXCL_UNLINK
+changes the default behavior,
+so that events are not generated for children after
+they have been unlinked from the watched directory.
+.TP
+.B IN_MASK_ADD
+If a watch instance already exists for the filesystem object corresponding to
+.IR pathname ,

+Using this flag provides an application with a way of ensuring

+.SH STANDARDS
+Linux.
+.SH HISTORY
+Inotify was merged into Linux 2.6.13.
+The required library interfaces were added in glibc 2.4.
+.RB ( IN_DONT_FOLLOW ,
+.BR IN_MASK_ADD ,
+and
+.B IN_ONLYDIR
+were added in glibc 2.5.)
+.SH NOTES
+Inotify file descriptors can be monitored using
+.BR select (2),
+.BR poll (2),
+and
+.BR epoll (7).
+When an event is available, the file descriptor indicates as readable.
+.PP
+Since Linux 2.6.25,
+signal-driven I/O notification is available for inotify file descriptors;
+see the discussion of
+.B F_SETFL
+(for setting the
+.B O_ASYNC
+flag),
+.BR F_SETOWN ,
+and
+.B F_SETSIG
+in
+.BR fcntl (2).
+The
+.I siginfo_t
+structure (described in
+.BR sigaction (2))
+that is passed to the signal handler has the following fields set:
+.I si_fd
+is set to the inotify file descriptor number;
+.I si_signo
+is set to the signal number;
+.I si_code
+is set to
+.BR POLL_IN ;
+and
+.B POLLIN
+is set in
+.IR si_band .
+.PP
+If successive output inotify events produced on the
+inotify file descriptor are identical (same
+.IR wd ,
+.IR mask ,
+.IR cookie ,
+and
+.IR name ),
+then they are coalesced into a single event if the
+older event has not yet been read (but see BUGS).
+This reduces the amount of kernel memory required for the event queue,
+but also means that an application can't use inotify to reliably count
+file events.
+.PP
+The events returned by reading from an inotify file descriptor
+form an ordered queue.
+Thus, for example, it is guaranteed that when renaming from
+one directory to another, events will be produced in the
+correct order on the inotify file descriptor.
+.PP
+The set of watch descriptors that is being monitored via
+an inotify file descriptor can be viewed via the entry for
+the inotify file descriptor in the process's
+.IR /proc/ pid /fdinfo
+directory.
+See
+.BR proc (5)
+for further details.
+The
+.B FIONREAD
+.BR ioctl (2)
+returns the number of bytes available to read from an
+inotify file descriptor.
+.SS Limitations and caveats
+The inotify API provides no information about the user or process that
+triggered the inotify event.
+In particular, there is no easy
+way for a process that is monitoring events via inotify
+to distinguish events that it triggers
+itself from those that are triggered by other processes.
+.PP
+Inotify reports only events that a user-space program triggers through
+the filesystem API.
+As a result, it does not catch remote events that occur
+on network filesystems.
+(Applications must fall back to polling the filesystem
+to catch such events.)
+Furthermore, various pseudo-filesystems such as
+.IR /proc ,
+.IR /sys ,
+and
+.I /dev/pts
+are not monitorable with inotify.
+.PP
+The inotify API does not report file accesses and modifications that
+may occur because of
+.BR mmap (2),
+.BR msync (2),
+and
+.BR munmap (2).
+.PP
+The inotify API identifies affected files by filename.
+However, by the time an application processes an inotify event,
+the filename may already have been deleted or renamed.
+.PP
+The inotify API identifies events via watch descriptors.
+It is the application's responsibility to cache a mapping
+(if one is needed) between watch descriptors and pathnames.
+Be aware that directory renamings may affect multiple cached pathnames.
+.PP
+Inotify monitoring of directories is not recursive:
+to monitor subdirectories under a directory,
+additional watches must be created.
+This can take a significant amount time for large directory trees.
+.PP
+If monitoring an entire directory subtree,
+and a new subdirectory is created in that tree or an existing directory
+is renamed into that tree,
+be aware that by the time you create a watch for the new subdirectory,
+new files (and subdirectories) may already exist inside the subdirectory.
+Therefore, you may want to scan the contents of the subdirectory
+immediately after adding the watch (and, if desired,
+recursively add watches for any subdirectories that it contains).
+.PP
+Note that the event queue can overflow.
+In this case, events are lost.
+Robust applications should handle the possibility of
+lost events gracefully.
+For example, it may be necessary to rebuild part or all of
+the application cache.
+(One simple, but possibly expensive,
+approach is to close the inotify file descriptor, empty the cache,
+create a new inotify file descriptor,
+and then re-create watches and cache entries
+for the objects to be monitored.)
+.PP
+If a filesystem is mounted on top of a monitored directory,
+no event is generated, and no events are generated
+for objects immediately under the new mount point.
+If the filesystem is subsequently unmounted,
+events will subsequently be generated for the directory and
+the objects it contains.
+.\"
+.SS Dealing with rename() events
+As noted above, the
+.B IN_MOVED_FROM
+and
+.B IN_MOVED_TO
+event pair that is generated by
+.BR rename (2)
+can be matched up via their shared cookie value.
+However, the task of matching has some challenges.
+.PP
+These two events are usually consecutive in the event stream available
+when reading from the inotify file descriptor.
+However, this is not guaranteed.
+If multiple processes are triggering events for monitored objects,
+then (on rare occasions) an arbitrary number of
+other events may appear between the
+.B IN_MOVED_FROM
+and
+.B IN_MOVED_TO
+events.
+Furthermore, it is not guaranteed that the event pair is atomically
+inserted into the queue: there may be a brief interval where the
+.B IN_MOVED_FROM
+has appeared, but the
+.B IN_MOVED_TO
+has not.
+.PP
+Matching up the
+.B IN_MOVED_FROM
+and
+.B IN_MOVED_TO
+event pair generated by
+.BR rename (2)
+is thus inherently racy.
+(Don't forget that if an object is renamed outside of a monitored directory,
+there may not even be an
+.B IN_MOVED_TO
+event.)
+Heuristic approaches (e.g., assume the events are always consecutive)
+can be used to ensure a match in most cases,
+but will inevitably miss some cases,
+causing the application to perceive the
+.B IN_MOVED_FROM
+and
+.B IN_MOVED_TO
+events as being unrelated.
+If watch descriptors are destroyed and re-created as a result,
+then those watch descriptors will be inconsistent with
+the watch descriptors in any pending events.
+(Re-creating the inotify file descriptor and rebuilding the cache may
+be useful to deal with this scenario.)
+.PP
+Applications should also allow for the possibility that the
+.B IN_MOVED_FROM
+event was the last event that could fit in the buffer
+returned by the current call to
+.BR read (2),
+and the accompanying
+.B IN_MOVED_TO
+event might be fetched only on the next
+.BR read (2),
+which should be done with a (small) timeout to allow for the fact that
+insertion of the
+.BR IN_MOVED_FROM + IN_MOVED_TO
+event pair is not atomic,
+and also the possibility that there may not be any
+.B IN_MOVED_TO
+event.
+.SH BUGS
+Before Linux 3.19,
+.BR fallocate (2)
+did not create any inotify events.

+Before Linux 2.6.16, the

+.PP
+As originally designed and implemented, the
+.B IN_ONESHOT
+flag did not cause an
+.B IN_IGNORED
+event to be generated when the watch was dropped after one event.

+the kernel code that was intended to coalesce successive identical events
+(i.e., the two most recent events could potentially be coalesced
+if the older had not yet been read)
+instead checked if the most recent event could be coalesced with the
+.I oldest
+unread event.
+.PP
+When a watch descriptor is removed by calling
+.BR inotify_rm_watch (2)
+(or because a watch file is deleted or the filesystem
+that contains it is unmounted),
+any pending unread events for that watch descriptor remain available to read.
+As watch descriptors are subsequently allocated with
+.BR inotify_add_watch (2),
+the kernel cycles through the range of possible watch descriptors (1 to
+.BR INT_MAX )
+incrementally.
+When allocating a free watch descriptor, no check is made to see whether that
+watch descriptor number has any pending unread events in the inotify queue.
+Thus, it can happen that a watch descriptor is reallocated even
+when pending unread events exist for a previous incarnation of
+that watch descriptor number, with the result that the application
+might then read those events and interpret them as belonging to
+the file associated with the newly recycled watch descriptor.
+In practice, the likelihood of hitting this bug may be extremely low,
+since it requires that an application cycle through
+.B INT_MAX
+watch descriptors,
+release a watch descriptor while leaving unread events for that
+watch descriptor in the queue,
+and then recycle that watch descriptor.
+For this reason, and because there have been no reports
+of the bug occurring in real-world applications,
+as of Linux 3.15,
+.\" FIXME . https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77111
+no kernel changes have yet been made to eliminate this possible bug.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Linux implements the Internet Protocol, version 4,
+described in RFC\ 791 and RFC\ 1122.
+.B ip
+contains a level 2 multicasting implementation conforming to RFC\ 1112.
+It also contains an IP router including a packet filter.
+.PP
+The programming interface is BSD-sockets compatible.
+For more information on sockets, see
+.BR socket (7).
+.PP
+An IP socket is created using
+.BR socket (2):
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+socket(AF_INET, socket_type, protocol);
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+Valid socket types include
+.B SOCK_STREAM
+to open a stream socket,
+.B SOCK_DGRAM
+to open a datagram socket, and
+.B SOCK_RAW
+to open a
+.BR raw (7)
+socket to access the IP protocol directly.
+.PP
+.I protocol
+is the IP protocol in the IP header to be received or sent.
+Valid values for
+.I protocol
+include:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+0 and
+.B IPPROTO_TCP
+for
+.BR tcp (7)
+stream sockets;
+.IP \[bu]
+0 and
+.B IPPROTO_UDP
+for
+.BR udp (7)
+datagram sockets;
+.IP \[bu]
+.B IPPROTO_SCTP
+for
+.BR sctp (7)
+stream sockets; and
+.IP \[bu]
+.B IPPROTO_UDPLITE
+for
+.BR udplite (7)
+datagram sockets.
+.PP
+For
+.B SOCK_RAW
+you may specify a valid IANA IP protocol defined in
+RFC\ 1700 assigned numbers.
+.PP
+When a process wants to receive new incoming packets or connections, it
+should bind a socket to a local interface address using
+.BR bind (2).
+In this case, only one IP socket may be bound to any given local
+(address, port) pair.
+When
+.B INADDR_ANY
+is specified in the bind call, the socket will be bound to
+.I all
+local interfaces.
+When
+.BR listen (2)
+is called on an unbound socket, the socket is automatically bound
+to a random free port with the local address set to
+.BR INADDR_ANY .
+When
+.BR connect (2)
+is called on an unbound socket, the socket is automatically bound
+to a random free port or to a usable shared port with the local address
+set to
+.BR INADDR_ANY .
+.PP
+A TCP local socket address that has been bound is unavailable for
+some time after closing, unless the
+.B SO_REUSEADDR
+flag has been set.
+Care should be taken when using this flag as it makes TCP less reliable.
+.SS Address format
+An IP socket address is defined as a combination of an IP interface
+address and a 16-bit port number.
+The basic IP protocol does not supply port numbers, they
+are implemented by higher level protocols like
+.BR udp (7)
+and
+.BR tcp (7).
+On raw sockets
+.I sin_port
+is set to the IP protocol.
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct sockaddr_in {
+ sa_family_t sin_family; /* address family: AF_INET */
+ in_port_t sin_port; /* port in network byte order */
+ struct in_addr sin_addr; /* internet address */
+};
+\&
+/* Internet address */
+struct in_addr {
+ uint32_t s_addr; /* address in network byte order */
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+.I sin_family
+is always set to
+.BR AF_INET .
+This is required; in Linux 2.2 most networking functions return
+.B EINVAL
+when this setting is missing.
+.I sin_port
+contains the port in network byte order.
+The port numbers below 1024 are called
+.I privileged ports
+(or sometimes:
+.IR "reserved ports" ).
+Only a privileged process
+(on Linux: a process that has the
+.B CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
+capability in the user namespace governing its network namespace) may
+.BR bind (2)
+to these sockets.
+Note that the raw IPv4 protocol as such has no concept of a
+port, they are implemented only by higher protocols like
+.BR tcp (7)
+and
+.BR udp (7).
+.PP
+.I sin_addr
+is the IP host address.
+The
+.I s_addr
+member of
+.I struct in_addr
+contains the host interface address in network byte order.
+.I in_addr
+should be assigned one of the
+.B INADDR_*
+values
+(e.g.,
+.BR INADDR_LOOPBACK )
+using
+.BR htonl (3)
+or set using the
+.BR inet_aton (3),
+.BR inet_addr (3),
+.BR inet_makeaddr (3)
+library functions or directly with the name resolver (see
+.BR gethostbyname (3)).
+.PP
+IPv4 addresses are divided into unicast, broadcast,
+and multicast addresses.
+Unicast addresses specify a single interface of a host,
+broadcast addresses specify all hosts on a network, and multicast
+addresses address all hosts in a multicast group.
+Datagrams to broadcast addresses can be sent or received only when the
+.B SO_BROADCAST
+socket flag is set.
+In the current implementation, connection-oriented sockets are allowed
+to use only unicast addresses.
+.\" Leave a loophole for XTP @)
+.PP
+Note that the address and the port are always stored in
+network byte order.
+In particular, this means that you need to call
+.BR htons (3)
+on the number that is assigned to a port.
+All address/port manipulation
+functions in the standard library work in network byte order.
+.SS Special and reserved addresses
+There are several special addresses:
+.TP
+.BR INADDR_LOOPBACK " (127.0.0.1)"
+always refers to the local host via the loopback device;
+.TP
+.BR INADDR_ANY " (0.0.0.0)"
+means any address for socket binding;
+.TP
+.BR INADDR_BROADCAST " (255.255.255.255)"
+has the same effect on
+.BR bind (2)
+as
+.B INADDR_ANY
+for historical reasons.
+A packet addressed to
+.B INADDR_BROADCAST
+through a socket which has
+.B SO_BROADCAST
+set will be broadcast to all hosts on the local network segment,
+as long as the link is broadcast-capable.
+.TP
+Highest-numbered address
+.TQ
+Lowest-numbered address
+On any locally-attached non-point-to-point IP subnet
+with a link type that supports broadcasts,
+the highest-numbered address
+(e.g., the .255 address on a subnet with netmask 255.255.255.0)
+is designated as a broadcast address.
+It cannot usefully be assigned to an individual interface,
+and can only be addressed with a socket on which the
+.B SO_BROADCAST
+option has been set.
+Internet standards have historically
+also reserved the lowest-numbered address
+(e.g., the .0 address on a subnet with netmask 255.255.255.0)
+for broadcast, though they call it "obsolete" for this purpose.
+(Some sources also refer to this as the "network address.")
+Since Linux 5.14,
+.\" commit 58fee5fc83658aaacf60246aeab738946a9ba516
+it is treated as an ordinary unicast address
+and can be assigned to an interface.
+.PP
+Internet standards have traditionally also reserved various addresses
+for particular uses, though Linux no longer treats
+some of these specially.
+.TP
+[0.0.0.1, 0.255.255.255]
+.TQ
+[240.0.0.0, 255.255.255.254]
+Addresses in these ranges (0/8 and 240/4) are reserved globally.
+Since Linux 5.3
+.\" commit 96125bf9985a75db00496dd2bc9249b777d2b19b
+and Linux 2.6.25,
+.\" commit 1e637c74b0f84eaca02b914c0b8c6f67276e9697
+respectively,
+the 0/8 and 240/4 addresses, other than
+.B INADDR_ANY
+and
+.BR INADDR_BROADCAST ,
+are treated as ordinary unicast addresses.
+Systems that follow the traditional behaviors may not
+interoperate with these historically reserved addresses.
+.TP
+[127.0.0.1, 127.255.255.254]
+Addresses in this range (127/8) are treated as loopback addresses
+akin to the standardized local loopback address
+.B INADDR_LOOPBACK
+(127.0.0.1);
+.TP
+[224.0.0.0, 239.255.255.255]
+Addresses in this range (224/4) are dedicated to multicast use.
+.SS Socket options
+IP supports some protocol-specific socket options that can be set with
+.BR setsockopt (2)
+and read with
+.BR getsockopt (2).
+The socket option level for IP is
+.BR IPPROTO_IP .
+.\" or SOL_IP on Linux
+A boolean integer flag is zero when it is false, otherwise true.
+.PP
+When an invalid socket option is specified,
+.BR getsockopt (2)

+an appropriate interface is chosen by the system.
+.I imr_ifindex
+is the interface index of the interface that should join/leave the
+.I imr_multiaddr
+group, or 0 to indicate any interface.
+.IP
+The
+.I ip_mreqn
+structure is available only since Linux 2.2.
+For compatibility, the old

+structure (present since Linux 1.2) is still supported;
+it differs from
+.I ip_mreqn
+only by not including the
+.I imr_ifindex
+field.

+.TP
+.BR IP_MTU_DISCOVER " (since Linux 2.2)"
+.\" Precisely: since Linux 2.1.124
+Set or receive the Path MTU Discovery setting for a socket.
+When enabled, Linux will perform Path MTU Discovery
+as defined in RFC\ 1191 on
+.B SOCK_STREAM
+sockets.
+For
+.RB non- SOCK_STREAM
+sockets,
+.B IP_PMTUDISC_DO
+forces the don't-fragment flag to be set on all outgoing packets.
+It is the user's responsibility to packetize the data
+in MTU-sized chunks and to do the retransmits if necessary.
+The kernel will reject (with

+datagrams that are bigger than the known path MTU.
+.B IP_PMTUDISC_WANT
+will fragment a datagram if needed according to the path MTU,
+or will set the don't-fragment flag otherwise.
+.IP
+The system-wide default can be toggled between
+.B IP_PMTUDISC_WANT

+When PMTU discovery is enabled, the kernel automatically keeps track of
+the path MTU per destination host.
+When it is connected to a specific peer with
+.BR connect (2),
+the currently known path MTU can be retrieved conveniently using the
+.B IP_MTU
+socket option (e.g., after an
+.B EMSGSIZE
+error occurred).
+The path MTU may change over time.
+For connectionless sockets with many destinations,
+the new MTU for a given destination can also be accessed using the
+error queue (see
+.BR IP_RECVERR ).
+A new error will be queued for every incoming MTU update.
+.IP
+While MTU discovery is in progress, initial packets from datagram sockets
+may be dropped.
+Applications using UDP should be aware of this and not
+take it into account for their packet retransmit strategy.
+.IP
+To bootstrap the path MTU discovery process on unconnected sockets, it
+is possible to start with a big datagram size
+(headers up to 64 kilobytes long) and let it shrink by updates of the path MTU.
+.IP
+To get an initial estimate of the
+path MTU, connect a datagram socket to the destination address using
+.BR connect (2)
+and retrieve the MTU by calling
+.BR getsockopt (2)
+with the
+.B IP_MTU
+option.
+.IP
+It is possible to implement RFC 4821 MTU probing with
+.B SOCK_DGRAM
+or
+.B SOCK_RAW
+sockets by setting a value of
+.B IP_PMTUDISC_PROBE
+(available since Linux 2.6.22).

+Setting this boolean option enables transparent proxying on this socket.

+.BR SO_PEERSEC " (since Linux 2.6.17)"
+If labeled IPSEC or NetLabel is configured on both the sending and
+receiving hosts, this read-only socket option returns the security
+context of the peer socket connected to this socket.
+By default,
+this will be the same as the security context of the process that created
+the peer socket unless overridden by the policy or by a process with
+the required permissions.
+.IP
+The argument to
+.BR getsockopt (2)
+is a pointer to a buffer of the specified length in bytes
+into which the security context string will be copied.
+If the buffer length is less than the length of the security
+context string, then
+.BR getsockopt (2)
+returns \-1, sets
+.I errno
+to
+.BR ERANGE ,
+and returns the required length via
+.IR optlen .
+The caller should allocate at least
+.B NAME_MAX
+bytes for the buffer initially, although this is not guaranteed
+to be sufficient.
+Resizing the buffer to the returned length
+and retrying may be necessary.
+.IP
+The security context string may include a terminating null character
+in the returned length, but is not guaranteed to do so: a security
+context "foo" might be represented as either {'f','o','o'} of length 3
+or {'f','o','o','\\0'} of length 4, which are considered to be
+interchangeable.
+The string is printable, does not contain non-terminating null characters,
+and is in an unspecified encoding (in particular, it
+is not guaranteed to be ASCII or UTF-8).
+.IP
+The use of this option for sockets in the

+For SELinux, NetLabel conveys only the MLS portion of the security
+context of the peer across the wire, defaulting the rest of the
+security context to the values defined in the policy for the
+netmsg initial security identifier (SID).
+However, NetLabel can
+be configured to pass full security contexts over loopback.
+Labeled IPSEC always passes full security contexts as part of establishing

+.SH NAME
+ipc_namespaces \- overview of Linux IPC namespaces
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+IPC namespaces isolate certain IPC resources,
+namely, System V IPC objects (see
+.BR sysvipc (7))
+and (since Linux 2.6.30)
+.\" commit 7eafd7c74c3f2e67c27621b987b28397110d643f
+.\" https://lwn.net/Articles/312232/
+POSIX message queues (see
+.BR mq_overview (7)).
+The common characteristic of these IPC mechanisms is that IPC
+objects are identified by mechanisms other than filesystem
+pathnames.
+.PP
+Each IPC namespace has its own set of System V IPC identifiers and
+its own POSIX message queue filesystem.
+Objects created in an IPC namespace are visible to all other processes
+that are members of that namespace,
+but are not visible to processes in other IPC namespaces.
+.PP
+The following
+.I /proc
+interfaces are distinct in each IPC namespace:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The POSIX message queue interfaces in
+.IR /proc/sys/fs/mqueue .
+.IP \[bu]
+The System V IPC interfaces in
+.IR /proc/sys/kernel ,
+namely:
+.IR msgmax ,
+.IR msgmnb ,
+.IR msgmni ,
+.IR sem ,
+.IR shmall ,
+.IR shmmax ,
+.IR shmmni ,
+and
+.IR shm_rmid_forced .
+.IP \[bu]
+The System V IPC interfaces in
+.IR /proc/sysvipc .
+.PP
+When an IPC namespace is destroyed
+(i.e., when the last process that is a member of the namespace terminates),

+.TH ipv6 7 2023-07-30 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+ipv6 \- Linux IPv6 protocol implementation
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <sys/socket.h>
+.B #include <netinet/in.h>
+.PP
+.IB tcp6_socket " = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0);"
+.IB raw6_socket " = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_RAW, " protocol ");"
+.IB udp6_socket " = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM, " protocol ");"
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Linux 2.2 optionally implements the Internet Protocol, version 6.
+This man page contains a description of the IPv6 basic API as
+implemented by the Linux kernel and glibc 2.1.
+The interface
+is based on the BSD sockets interface; see
+.BR socket (7).
+.PP
+The IPv6 API aims to be mostly compatible with the
+IPv4 API (see
+.BR ip (7)).
+Only differences are described in this man page.
+.PP
+To bind an
+.B AF_INET6
+socket to any process, the local address should be copied from the
+.I in6addr_any
+variable which has
+.I in6_addr
+type.
+In static initializations,
+.B IN6ADDR_ANY_INIT
+may also be used, which expands to a constant expression.
+Both of them are in network byte order.
+.PP
+The IPv6 loopback address (::1) is available in the global
+.I in6addr_loopback
+variable.
+For initializations,
+.B IN6ADDR_LOOPBACK_INIT
+should be used.
+.PP
+IPv4 connections can be handled with the v6 API by using the
+v4-mapped-on-v6 address type;
+thus a program needs to support only this API type to
+support both protocols.
+This is handled transparently by the address
+handling functions in the C library.
+.PP
+IPv4 and IPv6 share the local port space.
+When you get an IPv4 connection
+or packet to an IPv6 socket,
+its source address will be mapped to v6.
+.SS Address format
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct sockaddr_in6 {
+ sa_family_t sin6_family; /* AF_INET6 */
+ in_port_t sin6_port; /* port number */
+ uint32_t sin6_flowinfo; /* IPv6 flow information */
+ struct in6_addr sin6_addr; /* IPv6 address */
+ uint32_t sin6_scope_id; /* Scope ID (new in Linux 2.4) */
+};
+\&
+struct in6_addr {
+ unsigned char s6_addr[16]; /* IPv6 address */
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+.I sin6_family
+is always set to
+.BR AF_INET6 ;
+.I sin6_port
+is the protocol port (see
+.I sin_port
+in
+.BR ip (7));
+.I sin6_flowinfo
+is the IPv6 flow identifier;
+.I sin6_addr
+is the 128-bit IPv6 address.
+.I sin6_scope_id
+is an ID depending on the scope of the address.
+It is new in Linux 2.4.
+Linux supports it only for link-local addresses, in that case
+.I sin6_scope_id
+contains the interface index (see
+.BR netdevice (7))
+.PP
+IPv6 supports several address types: unicast to address a single
+host, multicast to address a group of hosts,
+anycast to address the nearest member of a group of hosts
+(not implemented in Linux), IPv4-on-IPv6 to
+address an IPv4 host, and other reserved address types.
+.PP
+The address notation for IPv6 is a group of 8 4-digit hexadecimal
+numbers, separated with a \[aq]:\[aq].
+\&"::" stands for a string of 0 bits.
+Special addresses are ::1 for loopback and ::FFFF:<IPv4 address>
+for IPv4-mapped-on-IPv6.
+.PP
+The port space of IPv6 is shared with IPv4.
+.SS Socket options
+IPv6 supports some protocol-specific socket options that can be set with
+.BR setsockopt (2)
+and read with
+.BR getsockopt (2).
+The socket option level for IPv6 is
+.BR IPPROTO_IPV6 .
+A boolean integer flag is zero when it is false, otherwise true.
+.TP
+.B IPV6_ADDRFORM
+Turn an
+.B AF_INET6
+socket into a socket of a different address family.
+Only
+.B AF_INET
+is currently supported for that.
+It is allowed only for IPv6 sockets
+that are connected and bound to a v4-mapped-on-v6 address.
+The argument is a pointer to an integer containing
+.BR AF_INET .
+This is useful to pass v4-mapped sockets as file descriptors to
+programs that don't know how to deal with the IPv6 API.
+.TP
+.B IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, IPV6_DROP_MEMBERSHIP
+Control membership in multicast groups.
+Argument is a pointer to a
+.IR "struct ipv6_mreq" .
+.TP
+.B IPV6_MTU
+.BR getsockopt ():
+Retrieve the current known path MTU of the current socket.
+Valid only when the socket has been connected.
+Returns an integer.
+.IP
+.BR setsockopt ():
+Set the MTU to be used for the socket.
+The MTU is limited by the device
+MTU or the path MTU when path MTU discovery is enabled.
+Argument is a pointer to integer.
+.TP
+.B IPV6_MTU_DISCOVER
+Control path-MTU discovery on the socket.
+See
+.B IP_MTU_DISCOVER
+in
+.BR ip (7)
+for details.
+.TP
+.B IPV6_MULTICAST_HOPS
+Set the multicast hop limit for the socket.
+Argument is a pointer to an
+integer.
+\-1 in the value means use the route default, otherwise it should be
+between 0 and 255.
+.TP
+.B IPV6_MULTICAST_IF
+Set the device for outgoing multicast packets on the socket.
+This is allowed only for
+.B SOCK_DGRAM
+and
+.B SOCK_RAW
+socket.
+The argument is a pointer to an interface index (see
+.BR netdevice (7))
+in an integer.
+.TP
+.B IPV6_MULTICAST_LOOP
+Control whether the socket sees multicast packets that it has send itself.
+Argument is a pointer to boolean.
+.TP
+.BR IPV6_RECVPKTINFO " (since Linux 2.6.14)"
+Set delivery of the
+.B IPV6_PKTINFO
+control message on incoming datagrams.
+Such control messages contain a
+.IR "struct in6_pktinfo" ,
+as per RFC 3542.
+Allowed only for
+.B SOCK_DGRAM
+or
+.B SOCK_RAW
+sockets.
+Argument is a pointer to a boolean value in an integer.
+.TP
+.B \%IPV6_RTHDR, \%IPV6_AUTHHDR, \%IPV6_DSTOPTS, \%IPV6_HOPOPTS, \
+\%IPV6_FLOWINFO, \%IPV6_HOPLIMIT
+Set delivery of control messages for incoming datagrams containing
+extension headers from the received packet.
+.B IPV6_RTHDR
+delivers the routing header,
+.B IPV6_AUTHHDR
+delivers the authentication header,
+.B IPV6_DSTOPTS
+delivers the destination options,
+.B IPV6_HOPOPTS
+delivers the hop options,
+.B IPV6_FLOWINFO
+delivers an integer containing the flow ID,
+.B IPV6_HOPLIMIT
+delivers an integer containing the hop count of the packet.
+The control messages have the same type as the socket option.
+All these header options can also be set for outgoing packets
+by putting the appropriate control message into the control buffer of
+.BR sendmsg (2).
+Allowed only for
+.B SOCK_DGRAM
+or
+.B SOCK_RAW
+sockets.
+Argument is a pointer to a boolean value.
+.TP
+.B IPV6_RECVERR
+Control receiving of asynchronous error options.
+See
+.B IP_RECVERR
+in
+.BR ip (7)
+for details.
+Argument is a pointer to boolean.
+.TP
+.B IPV6_ROUTER_ALERT
+Pass forwarded packets containing a router alert hop-by-hop option to
+this socket.
+Allowed only for
+.B SOCK_RAW
+sockets.
+The tapped packets are not forwarded by the kernel, it is the
+user's responsibility to send them out again.
+Argument is a pointer to an integer.
+A positive integer indicates a router alert option value to intercept.
+Packets carrying a router alert option with a value field containing
+this integer will be delivered to the socket.
+A negative integer disables delivery of packets with router alert options
+to this socket.
+.TP
+.B IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS
+Set the unicast hop limit for the socket.
+Argument is a pointer to an integer.
+\-1 in the value means use the route default,
+otherwise it should be between 0 and 255.
+.TP
+.BR IPV6_V6ONLY " (since Linux 2.4.21 and 2.6)"
+.\" See RFC 3493
+If this flag is set to true (nonzero), then the socket is restricted
+to sending and receiving IPv6 packets only.
+In this case, an IPv4 and an IPv6 application can bind
+to a single port at the same time.
+.IP
+If this flag is set to false (zero),
+then the socket can be used to send and receive packets
+to and from an IPv6 address or an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.
+.IP
+The argument is a pointer to a boolean value in an integer.
+.IP
+The default value for this flag is defined by the contents of the file
+.IR /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only .
+The default value for that file is 0 (false).
+.\" FLOWLABEL_MGR, FLOWINFO_SEND
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B ENODEV
+The user tried to
+.BR bind (2)
+to a link-local IPv6 address, but the
+.I sin6_scope_id
+in the supplied
+.I sockaddr_in6
+structure is not a valid
+interface index.
+.SH VERSIONS
+Linux 2.4 will break binary compatibility for the
+.I sockaddr_in6
+for 64-bit
+hosts by changing the alignment of
+.I in6_addr
+and adding an additional
+.I sin6_scope_id
+field.
+The kernel interfaces stay compatible, but a program including
+.I sockaddr_in6
+or
+.I in6_addr
+into other structures may not be.
+This is not
+a problem for 32-bit hosts like i386.
+.PP
+The
+.I sin6_flowinfo
+field is new in Linux 2.4.
+It is transparently passed/read by the kernel
+when the passed address length contains it.
+Some programs that pass a longer address buffer and then
+check the outgoing address length may break.
+.SH NOTES
+The
+.I sockaddr_in6
+structure is bigger than the generic
+.IR sockaddr .
+Programs that assume that all address types can be stored safely in a
+.I struct sockaddr
+need to be changed to use
+.I struct sockaddr_storage
+for that instead.
+.PP
+.BR SOL_IP ,
+.BR SOL_IPV6 ,
+.BR SOL_ICMPV6 ,
+and other
+.B SOL_*
+socket options are nonportable variants of
+.BR IPPROTO_* .
+See also
+.BR ip (7).
+.SH BUGS
+The IPv6 extended API as in RFC\ 2292 is currently only partly
+implemented;
+although the 2.2 kernel has near complete support for receiving options,
+the macros for generating IPv6 options are missing in glibc 2.1.
+.PP
+IPSec support for EH and AH headers is missing.
+.PP
+Flow label management is not complete and not documented here.
+.PP
+This man page is not complete.

+.TH kernel_lockdown 7 2023-02-05 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+kernel_lockdown \- kernel image access prevention feature
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The Kernel Lockdown feature is designed to prevent both direct and indirect
+access to a running kernel image, attempting to protect against unauthorized
+modification of the kernel image and to prevent access to security and
+cryptographic data located in kernel memory, whilst still permitting driver
+modules to be loaded.
+.PP
+If a prohibited or restricted feature is accessed or used, the kernel will emit
+a message that looks like:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+Lockdown: X: Y is restricted, see man kernel_lockdown.7
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+where X indicates the process name and Y indicates what is restricted.
+.PP
+On an EFI-enabled x86 or arm64 machine, lockdown will be automatically enabled
+if the system boots in EFI Secure Boot mode.
+.\"
+.SS Coverage
+When lockdown is in effect, a number of features are disabled or have their
+use restricted.
+This includes special device files and kernel services that allow
+direct access of the kernel image:
+.PP
+.RS
+/dev/mem
+.br
+/dev/kmem
+.br
+/dev/kcore
+.br
+/dev/ioports
+.br
+BPF
+.br
+kprobes
+.RE
+.PP
+and the ability to directly configure and control devices, so as to prevent
+the use of a device to access or modify a kernel image:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The use of module parameters that directly specify hardware parameters to
+drivers through the kernel command line or when loading a module.
+.IP \[bu]
+The use of direct PCI BAR access.
+.IP \[bu]
+The use of the ioperm and iopl instructions on x86.
+.IP \[bu]
+The use of the KD*IO console ioctls.
+.IP \[bu]
+The use of the TIOCSSERIAL serial ioctl.
+.IP \[bu]
+The alteration of MSR registers on x86.
+.IP \[bu]
+The replacement of the PCMCIA CIS.
+.IP \[bu]
+The overriding of ACPI tables.
+.IP \[bu]
+The use of ACPI error injection.
+.IP \[bu]
+The specification of the ACPI RDSP address.
+.IP \[bu]
+The use of ACPI custom methods.
+.PP
+Certain facilities are restricted:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Only validly signed modules may be loaded (waived if the module file being
+loaded is vouched for by IMA appraisal).
+.IP \[bu]
+Only validly signed binaries may be kexec'd (waived if the binary image file
+to be executed is vouched for by IMA appraisal).
+.IP \[bu]
+Unencrypted hibernation/suspend to swap are disallowed as the kernel image is
+saved to a medium that can then be accessed.
+.IP \[bu]
+Use of debugfs is not permitted as this allows a whole range of actions
+including direct configuration of, access to and driving of hardware.
+.IP \[bu]
+IMA requires the addition of the "secure_boot" rules to the policy,
+whether or not they are specified on the command line,
+for both the built-in and custom policies in secure boot lockdown mode.
+.SH VERSIONS
+The Kernel Lockdown feature was added in Linux 5.4.
+.SH NOTES
+The Kernel Lockdown feature is enabled by CONFIG_SECURITY_LOCKDOWN_LSM.
+The
+.I lsm=lsm1,...,lsmN
+command line parameter controls the sequence of the initialization of
+Linux Security Modules.
+It must contain the string
+.I lockdown
+to enable the Kernel Lockdown feature.
+If the command line parameter is not specified,
+the initialization falls back to the value of the deprecated
+.I security=
+command line parameter and further to the value of CONFIG_LSM.

+.SH NAME
+keyrings \- in-kernel key management and retention facility
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The Linux key-management facility
+is primarily a way for various kernel components
+to retain or cache security data,
+authentication keys, encryption keys, and other data in the kernel.
+.PP
+System call interfaces are provided so that user-space programs can manage
+those objects and also use the facility for their own purposes; see
+.BR add_key (2),
+.BR request_key (2),
+and
+.BR keyctl (2).
+.PP
+A library and some user-space utilities are provided to allow access to the
+facility.
+See
+.BR keyctl (1),
+.BR keyctl (3),
+and
+.BR keyutils (7)
+for more information.
+.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+.SS Keys
+A key has the following attributes:
+.TP
+Serial number (ID)
+This is a unique integer handle by which a key is referred to in system calls.
+The serial number is sometimes synonymously referred as the key ID.
+Programmatically, key serial numbers are represented using the type
+.IR key_serial_t .
+.TP
+Type
+A key's type defines what sort of data can be held in the key,
+how the proposed content of the key will be parsed,
+and how the payload will be used.
+.IP
+There are a number of general-purpose types available, plus some specialist
+types defined by specific kernel components.
+.TP
+Description (name)
+The key description is a printable string that is used as the search term
+for the key (in conjunction with the key type) as well as a display name.
+During searches, the description may be partially matched or exactly matched.
+.TP
+Payload (data)
+The payload is the actual content of a key.
+This is usually set when a key is created,
+but it is possible for the kernel to upcall to user space to finish the
+instantiation of a key if that key wasn't already known to the kernel
+when it was requested.
+For further details, see
+.BR request_key (2).
+.IP
+A key's payload can be read and updated if the key type supports it and if
+suitable permission is granted to the caller.
+.TP
+Access rights
+Much as files do,
+each key has an owning user ID, an owning group ID, and a security label.

+.SS Key types
+The kernel provides several basic types of key:
+.TP
+.I """keyring"""
+.\" Note that keyrings use different fields in struct key in order to store
+.\" their data - index_key instead of type/description and name_link/keys
+.\" instead of payload.
+Keyrings are special keys which store a set of links
+to other keys (including other keyrings),
+analogous to a directory holding links to files.
+The main purpose of a keyring is to prevent other keys from
+being garbage collected because nothing refers to them.
+.IP
+Keyrings with descriptions (names)
+that begin with a period (\[aq].\[aq]) are reserved to the implementation.
+.TP
+.I """user"""
+This is a general-purpose key type.
+The key is kept entirely within kernel memory.
+The payload may be read and updated by user-space applications.
+.IP
+The payload for keys of this type is a blob of arbitrary data
+of up to 32,767 bytes.
+.IP
+The description may be any valid string, though it is preferred that it
+start with a colon-delimited prefix representing the service
+to which the key is of interest
+(for instance
+.IR """afs:mykey""" ).
+.TP
+.IR """logon""" " (since Linux 3.3)"
+.\" commit 9f6ed2ca257fa8650b876377833e6f14e272848b
+This key type is essentially the same as
+.IR """user""" ,
+but it does not provide reading (i.e., the
+.BR keyctl (2)
+.B KEYCTL_READ
+operation),
+meaning that the key payload is never visible from user space.
+This is suitable for storing username-password pairs
+that should not be readable from user space.
+.IP
+The description of a
+.I """logon"""
+key
+.I must
+start with a non-empty colon-delimited prefix whose purpose
+is to identify the service to which the key belongs.
+(Note that this differs from keys of the
+.I """user"""
+type, where the inclusion of a prefix is recommended but is not enforced.)
+.TP
+.IR """big_key""" " (since Linux 3.13)"
+.\" commit ab3c3587f8cda9083209a61dbe3a4407d3cada10
+This key type is similar to the
+.I """user"""
+key type, but it may hold a payload of up to 1\ MiB in size.
+This key type is useful for purposes such as holding Kerberos ticket caches.
+.IP
+The payload data may be stored in a tmpfs filesystem,
+rather than in kernel memory,
+if the data size exceeds the overhead of storing the data in the filesystem.
+(Storing the data in a filesystem requires filesystem structures
+to be allocated in the kernel.
+The size of these structures determines the size threshold
+above which the tmpfs storage method is used.)
+Since Linux 4.8,
+.\" commit 13100a72f40f5748a04017e0ab3df4cf27c809ef
+the payload data is encrypted when stored in tmpfs,
+thereby preventing it from being written unencrypted into swap space.
+.PP
+There are more specialized key types available also,
+but they aren't discussed here
+because they aren't intended for normal user-space use.
+.PP
+Key type names
+that begin with a period (\[aq].\[aq]) are reserved to the implementation.
+.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+.SS Keyrings
+As previously mentioned, keyrings are a special type of key that contain
+links to other keys (which may include other keyrings).
+Keys may be linked to by multiple keyrings.
+Keyrings may be considered as analogous to UNIX directories
+where each directory contains a set of hard links to files.
+.PP
+Various operations (system calls) may be applied only to keyrings:
+.TP
+Adding
+A key may be added to a keyring by system calls that create keys.
+This prevents the new key from being immediately deleted
+when the system call releases its last reference to the key.
+.TP
+Linking
+A link may be added to a keyring pointing to a key that is already known,
+provided this does not create a self-referential cycle.
+.TP
+Unlinking
+A link may be removed from a keyring.
+When the last link to a key is removed,
+that key will be scheduled for deletion by the garbage collector.
+.TP
+Clearing
+All the links may be removed from a keyring.
+.TP
+Searching
+A keyring may be considered the root of a tree or subtree in which keyrings
+form the branches and non-keyrings the leaves.
+This tree may be searched for a key matching
+a particular type and description.
+.PP
+See
+.BR keyctl_clear (3),
+.BR keyctl_link (3),
+.BR keyctl_search (3),
+and
+.BR keyctl_unlink (3)
+for more information.
+.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+.SS Anchoring keys
+To prevent a key from being garbage collected,
+it must be anchored to keep its reference count elevated
+when it is not in active use by the kernel.
+.PP
+Keyrings are used to anchor other keys:
+each link is a reference on a key.
+Note that keyrings themselves are just keys and
+are also subject to the same anchoring requirement to prevent
+them being garbage collected.
+.PP
+The kernel makes available a number of anchor keyrings.
+Note that some of these keyrings will be created only when first accessed.
+.TP
+Process keyrings
+Process credentials themselves reference keyrings with specific semantics.
+These keyrings are pinned as long as the set of credentials exists,
+which is usually as long as the process exists.
+.IP
+There are three keyrings with different inheritance/sharing rules:
+the
+.BR session\-keyring (7)
+(inherited and shared by all child processes),
+the
+.BR process\-keyring (7)
+(shared by all threads in a process) and
+the
+.BR thread\-keyring (7)
+(specific to a particular thread).
+.IP
+As an alternative to using the actual keyring IDs,
+in calls to
+.BR add_key (2),
+.BR keyctl (2),

+.BR request_key (2),
+the special keyring values
+.BR KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING ,
+.BR KEY_SPEC_PROCESS_KEYRING ,
+and
+.B KEY_SPEC_THREAD_KEYRING
+can be used to refer to the caller's own instances of these keyrings.
+.TP
+User keyrings
+Each UID known to the kernel has a record that contains two keyrings: the
+.BR user\-keyring (7)
+and the
+.BR user\-session\-keyring (7).
+These exist for as long as the UID record in the kernel exists.
+.IP
+As an alternative to using the actual keyring IDs,
+in calls to
+.BR add_key (2),
+.BR keyctl (2),
+and
+.BR request_key (2),
+the special keyring values
+.B KEY_SPEC_USER_KEYRING
+and
+.B KEY_SPEC_USER_SESSION_KEYRING
+can be used to refer to the caller's own instances of these keyrings.
+.IP
+A link to the user keyring is placed in a new session keyring by
+.BR pam_keyinit (8)
+when a new login session is initiated.
+.TP
+Persistent keyrings
+There is a
+.BR persistent\-keyring (7)
+available to each UID known to the system.
+It may persist beyond the life of the UID record previously mentioned,
+but has an expiration time set such that it is automatically cleaned up
+after a set time.
+The persistent keyring permits, for example,
+.BR cron (8)
+scripts to use credentials that are left in the persistent keyring after
+the user logs out.
+.IP
+Note that the expiration time of the persistent keyring
+is reset every time the persistent key is requested.
+.TP
+Special keyrings
+There are special keyrings owned by the kernel that can anchor keys
+for special purposes.
+An example of this is the \fIsystem keyring\fR used for holding
+encryption keys for module signature verification.
+.IP
+These special keyrings are usually closed to direct alteration
+by user space.
+.PP
+An originally planned "group keyring",
+for storing keys associated with each GID known to the kernel,
+is not so far implemented, is unlikely to be implemented.
+Nevertheless, the constant
+.B KEY_SPEC_GROUP_KEYRING
+has been defined for this keyring.
+.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+.SS Possession
+The concept of possession is important to understanding the keyrings
+security model.
+Whether a thread possesses a key is determined by the following rules:
+.IP (1) 5
+Any key or keyring that does not grant
+.I search
+permission to the caller is ignored in all the following rules.
+.IP (2)
+A thread possesses its
+.BR session\-keyring (7),
+.BR process\-keyring (7),
+and
+.BR thread\-keyring (7)
+directly because those keyrings are referred to by its credentials.
+.IP (3)
+If a keyring is possessed, then any key it links to is also possessed.
+.IP (4)
+If any key a keyring links to is itself a keyring, then rule (3) applies
+recursively.
+.IP (5)
+If a process is upcalled from the kernel to instantiate a key (see
+.BR request_key (2)),
+then it also possesses the requester's keyrings as in
+rule (1) as if it were the requester.
+.PP
+Note that possession is not a fundamental property of a key,
+but must rather be calculated each time the key is needed.
+.PP
+Possession is designed to allow set-user-ID programs run from, say
+a user's shell to access the user's keys.
+Granting permissions to the key possessor while denying them
+to the key owner and group allows the prevention of access to keys
+on the basis of UID and GID matches.
+.PP
+When it creates the session keyring,
+.BR pam_keyinit (8)
+adds a link to the
+.BR user\-keyring (7),
+thus making the user keyring and anything it contains possessed by default.

+.SS Access rights
+Each key has the following security-related attributes:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The owning user ID
+.IP \[bu]
+The ID of a group that is permitted to access the key
+.IP \[bu]
+A security label
+.IP \[bu]
+A permissions mask
+.PP
+The permissions mask contains four sets of rights.
+The first three sets are mutually exclusive.
+One and only one will be in force for a particular access check.
+In order of descending priority, these three sets are:
+.TP
+.I user
+The set specifies the rights granted
+if the key's user ID matches the caller's filesystem user ID.
+.TP
+.I group
+The set specifies the rights granted
+if the user ID didn't match and the key's group ID matches the caller's
+filesystem GID or one of the caller's supplementary group IDs.
+.TP
+.I other
+The set specifies the rights granted
+if neither the key's user ID nor group ID matched.
+.PP
+The fourth set of rights is:
+.TP
+.I possessor
+The set specifies the rights granted
+if a key is determined to be possessed by the caller.
+.PP
+The complete set of rights for a key is the union of whichever
+of the first three sets is applicable plus the fourth set
+if the key is possessed.
+.PP
+The set of rights that may be granted in each of the four masks

+will be searched as well.
+.IP (3)
+The search of a keyring tree is in breadth-first order:

+.SS Users
+The Linux key-management facility has a number of users and usages,
+but is not limited to those that already exist.
+.PP
+In-kernel users of this facility include:
+.TP
+Network filesystems - DNS
+The kernel uses the upcall mechanism provided by the keys to upcall to
+user space to do DNS lookups and then to cache the results.
+.TP
+AF_RXRPC and kAFS - Authentication
+The AF_RXRPC network protocol and the in-kernel AFS filesystem
+use keys to store the ticket needed to do secured or encrypted traffic.
+These are then looked up by
+network operations on AF_RXRPC and filesystem operations on kAFS.
+.TP
+NFS - User ID mapping
+The NFS filesystem uses keys to store mappings of
+foreign user IDs to local user IDs.
+.TP
+CIFS - Password
+The CIFS filesystem uses keys to store passwords for accessing remote shares.
+.TP
+Module verification
+The kernel build process can be made to cryptographically sign modules.
+That signature is then checked when a module is loaded.
+.PP
+User-space users of this facility include:
+.TP
+Kerberos key storage
+The MIT Kerberos 5 facility (libkrb5) can use keys to store authentication
+tokens which can be made to be automatically cleaned up a set time after
+the user last uses them,
+but until then permits them to hang around after the user
+has logged out so that
+.BR cron (8)
+scripts can use them.

+.TH Landlock 7 2023-05-03 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+Landlock \- unprivileged access-control
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Landlock is an access-control system that enables any processes to
+securely restrict themselves and their future children.
+Because Landlock is a stackable Linux Security Module (LSM),
+it makes it possible to create safe security sandboxes
+as new security layers in addition to
+the existing system-wide access-controls.
+This kind of sandbox is expected to help mitigate
+the security impact of bugs,
+and unexpected or malicious behaviors in applications.
+.PP
+A Landlock security policy is a set of access rights
+(e.g., open a file in read-only, make a directory, etc.)
+tied to a file hierarchy.
+Such policy can be configured and enforced by processes for themselves
+using three system calls:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+.BR landlock_create_ruleset (2)
+creates a new ruleset;
+.IP \[bu]
+.BR landlock_add_rule (2)
+adds a new rule to a ruleset;
+.IP \[bu]
+.BR landlock_restrict_self (2)
+enforces a ruleset on the calling thread.
+.PP
+To be able to use these system calls,
+the running kernel must support Landlock and
+it must be enabled at boot time.
+.\"
+.SS Landlock rules
+A Landlock rule describes an action on an object.
+An object is currently a file hierarchy,
+and the related filesystem actions are defined with access rights (see
+.BR landlock_add_rule (2)).
+A set of rules is aggregated in a ruleset,
+which can then restrict the thread enforcing it,
+and its future children.
+.\"
+.SS Filesystem actions
+These flags enable to restrict a sandboxed process to a
+set of actions on files and directories.
+Files or directories opened before the sandboxing
+are not subject to these restrictions.
+See
+.BR landlock_add_rule (2)
+and
+.BR landlock_create_ruleset (2)
+for more context.
+.PP
+A file can only receive these access rights:
+.TP
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_EXECUTE
+Execute a file.
+.TP
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_WRITE_FILE
+Open a file with write access.
+.IP
+When opening files for writing,
+you will often additionally need the
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE
+right.
+In many cases,
+these system calls truncate existing files when overwriting them
+(e.g.,
+.BR creat (2)).
+.TP
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_READ_FILE
+Open a file with read access.
+.TP
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE
+Truncate a file with
+.BR truncate (2),
+.BR ftruncate (2),
+.BR creat (2),
+or
+.BR open (2)
+with
+.BR O_TRUNC .
+Whether an opened file can be truncated with
+.BR ftruncate (2)
+is determined during
+.BR open (2),
+in the same way as read and write permissions are checked during
+.BR open (2)
+using
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_READ_FILE
+and
+.BR LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_WRITE_FILE .
+This access right is available since the third version of the Landlock ABI.
+.PP
+A directory can receive access rights related to files or directories.
+The following access right is applied to the directory itself,
+and the directories beneath it:
+.TP
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_READ_DIR
+Open a directory or list its content.
+.PP
+However,
+the following access rights only apply to the content of a directory,
+not the directory itself:
+.TP
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REMOVE_DIR
+Remove an empty directory or rename one.
+.TP
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REMOVE_FILE
+Unlink (or rename) a file.
+.TP
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_CHAR
+Create (or rename or link) a character device.
+.TP
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_DIR
+Create (or rename) a directory.
+.TP
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG
+Create (or rename or link) a regular file.
+.TP
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_SOCK
+Create (or rename or link) a UNIX domain socket.
+.TP
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_FIFO
+Create (or rename or link) a named pipe.
+.TP
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_BLOCK
+Create (or rename or link) a block device.
+.TP
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_SYM
+Create (or rename or link) a symbolic link.
+.TP
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER
+Link or rename a file from or to a different directory
+(i.e., reparent a file hierarchy).
+.IP
+This access right is available since the second version of the Landlock ABI.
+.IP
+This is the only access right which is denied by default by any ruleset,
+even if the right is not specified as handled at ruleset creation time.
+The only way to make a ruleset grant this right
+is to explicitly allow it for a specific directory
+by adding a matching rule to the ruleset.
+.IP
+In particular, when using the first Landlock ABI version,
+Landlock will always deny attempts to reparent files
+between different directories.
+.IP
+In addition to the source and destination directories having the
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER
+access right,
+the attempted link or rename operation must meet the following constraints:
+.RS
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The reparented file may not gain more access rights in the destination directory
+than it previously had in the source directory.
+If this is attempted, the operation results in an
+.B EXDEV
+error.
+.IP \[bu]
+When linking or renaming, the
+.BI LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_ *
+right for the respective file type must be granted
+for the destination directory.
+Otherwise, the operation results in an
+.B EACCES
+error.
+.IP \[bu]
+When renaming, the
+.BI LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REMOVE_ *
+right for the respective file type must be granted
+for the source directory.
+Otherwise, the operation results in an
+.B EACCES
+error.
+.RE
+.IP
+If multiple requirements are not met, the
+.B EACCES
+error code takes precedence over
+.BR EXDEV .
+.\"
+.SS Layers of file path access rights
+Each time a thread enforces a ruleset on itself,
+it updates its Landlock domain with a new layer of policy.
+Indeed, this complementary policy is composed with the
+potentially other rulesets already restricting this thread.
+A sandboxed thread can then safely add more constraints to itself with a
+new enforced ruleset.
+.PP
+One policy layer grants access to a file path
+if at least one of its rules encountered on the path grants the access.
+A sandboxed thread can only access a file path
+if all its enforced policy layers grant the access
+as well as all the other system access controls
+(e.g., filesystem DAC, other LSM policies, etc.).
+.\"
+.SS Bind mounts and OverlayFS
+Landlock enables restricting access to file hierarchies,
+which means that these access rights can be propagated with bind mounts
+(cf.
+.BR mount_namespaces (7))
+but not with OverlayFS.
+.PP
+A bind mount mirrors a source file hierarchy to a destination.
+The destination hierarchy is then composed of the exact same files,
+on which Landlock rules can be tied,
+either via the source or the destination path.
+These rules restrict access when they are encountered on a path,
+which means that they can restrict access to
+multiple file hierarchies at the same time,
+whether these hierarchies are the result of bind mounts or not.
+.PP
+An OverlayFS mount point consists of upper and lower layers.
+These layers are combined in a merge directory, result of the mount point.
+This merge hierarchy may include files from the upper and lower layers,
+but modifications performed on the merge hierarchy
+only reflect on the upper layer.
+From a Landlock policy point of view,
+each of the OverlayFS layers and merge hierarchies is standalone and
+contains its own set of files and directories,
+which is different from a bind mount.
+A policy restricting an OverlayFS layer will not restrict
+the resulted merged hierarchy, and vice versa.
+Landlock users should then only think about file hierarchies they want to
+allow access to, regardless of the underlying filesystem.
+.\"
+.SS Inheritance
+Every new thread resulting from a
+.BR clone (2)
+inherits Landlock domain restrictions from its parent.
+This is similar to the
+.BR seccomp (2)
+inheritance or any other LSM dealing with tasks'
+.BR credentials (7).
+For instance, one process's thread may apply Landlock rules to itself,
+but they will not be automatically applied to other sibling threads
+(unlike POSIX thread credential changes, cf.
+.BR nptl (7)).
+.PP
+When a thread sandboxes itself,
+we have the guarantee that the related security policy
+will stay enforced on all this thread's descendants.
+This allows creating standalone and modular security policies
+per application,
+which will automatically be composed between themselves
+according to their run-time parent policies.
+.\"
+.SS Ptrace restrictions
+A sandboxed process has less privileges than a non-sandboxed process and
+must then be subject to additional restrictions
+when manipulating another process.
+To be allowed to use
+.BR ptrace (2)
+and related syscalls on a target process,
+a sandboxed process should have a subset of the target process rules,
+which means the tracee must be in a sub-domain of the tracer.
+.\"
+.SS Truncating files
+The operations covered by
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_WRITE_FILE
+and
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE
+both change the contents of a file and sometimes overlap in
+non-intuitive ways.
+It is recommended to always specify both of these together.
+.PP
+A particularly surprising example is
+.BR creat (2).
+The name suggests that this system call requires
+the rights to create and write files.
+However, it also requires the truncate right
+if an existing file under the same name is already present.
+.PP
+It should also be noted that truncating files does not require the
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_WRITE_FILE
+right.
+Apart from the
+.BR truncate (2)
+system call, this can also be done through
+.BR open (2)
+with the flags
+.IR "O_RDONLY\ |\ O_TRUNC" .
+.PP
+When opening a file, the availability of the
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE
+right is associated with the newly created file descriptor
+and will be used for subsequent truncation attempts using
+.BR ftruncate (2).
+The behavior is similar to opening a file for reading or writing,
+where permissions are checked during
+.BR open (2),
+but not during the subsequent
+.BR read (2)
+and
+.BR write (2)
+calls.
+.PP
+As a consequence,
+it is possible to have multiple open file descriptors for the same file,
+where one grants the right to truncate the file and the other does not.
+It is also possible to pass such file descriptors between processes,
+keeping their Landlock properties,
+even when these processes do not have an enforced Landlock ruleset.
+.SH VERSIONS
+Landlock was introduced in Linux 5.13.
+.PP
+To determine which Landlock features are available,
+users should query the Landlock ABI version:

+Users should use the Landlock ABI version rather than the kernel version
+to determine which features are available.
+The mainline kernel versions listed here are only included for orientation.
+Kernels from other sources may contain backported features,
+and their version numbers may not match.
+.PP
+To query the running kernel's Landlock ABI version,
+programs may pass the
+.B LANDLOCK_CREATE_RULESET_VERSION
+flag to
+.BR landlock_create_ruleset (2).
+.PP
+When building fallback mechanisms for compatibility with older kernels,
+users are advised to consider the special semantics of the
+.B LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER
+access right:
+In ABI v1,
+linking and moving of files between different directories is always forbidden,
+so programs relying on such operations are only compatible
+with Landlock ABI v2 and higher.
+.SH NOTES
+Landlock is enabled by
+.BR CONFIG_SECURITY_LANDLOCK .
+The
+.I lsm=lsm1,...,lsmN
+command line parameter controls the sequence of the initialization of
+Linux Security Modules.
+It must contain the string
+.I landlock
+to enable Landlock.
+If the command line parameter is not specified,
+the initialization falls back to the value of the deprecated
+.I security=
+command line parameter and further to the value of
+.BR CONFIG_LSM .
+We can check that Landlock is enabled by looking for
+.I landlock: Up and running.
+in kernel logs.
+.SH CAVEATS
+It is currently not possible to restrict some file-related actions
+accessible through these system call families:
+.BR chdir (2),
+.BR stat (2),
+.BR flock (2),
+.BR chmod (2),
+.BR chown (2),
+.BR setxattr (2),
+.BR utime (2),
+.BR ioctl (2),
+.BR fcntl (2),
+.BR access (2).
+Future Landlock evolutions will enable to restrict them.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+We first need to create the ruleset that will contain our rules.
+.PP
+For this example,
+the ruleset will contain rules that only allow read actions,
+but write actions will be denied.
+The ruleset then needs to handle both of these kinds of actions.

+Therefore,
+if the program needed to do file reparenting,
+and if only Landlock ABI version 1 was available,
+we could not restrict the process.
+.PP

+In this example, the rule will only allow reading the file hierarchy

+Without another rule, write actions would then be denied by the ruleset.
+To add

+.SH NAME
+libc \- overview of standard C libraries on Linux
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The term \[lq]libc\[rq] is commonly used as a shorthand for
+the \[lq]standard C library\[rq]
+a library of standard functions that can be used by all C programs
+(and sometimes by programs in other languages).
+Because of some history
+(see below),
+use of the term \[lq]libc\[rq]
+to refer to the standard C library is somewhat ambiguous on Linux.
+.SS glibc
+By far the most widely used C library on Linux is the
+.UR http://www.gnu.org\:/software\:/libc/
+GNU C Library
+.UE ,
+often referred to as
+.IR glibc .
+This is the C library that is nowadays used in all
+major Linux distributions.
+It is also the C library whose details are documented
+in the relevant pages of the
+.I man-pages
+project
+(primarily in Section 3 of the manual).
+Documentation of glibc is also available in the glibc manual,
+available via the command
+.IR "info libc" .
+Release 1.0 of glibc was made in September 1992.
+(There were earlier 0.x releases.)
+The next major release of glibc was 2.0,
+at the beginning of 1997.
+.PP
+The pathname
+.I /lib/libc.so.6
+(or something similar)
+is normally a symbolic link that
+points to the location of the glibc library,
+and executing this pathname will cause glibc to display
+various information about the version installed on your system.
+.SS Linux libc
+In the early to mid 1990s,
+there was for a while
+.IR "Linux libc" ,
+a fork of glibc 1.x created by Linux developers who felt that glibc
+development at the time was not sufficing for the needs of Linux.
+Often,
+this library was referred to (ambiguously) as just \[lq]libc\[rq].
+Linux libc released major versions 2, 3, 4, and 5,
+as well as many minor versions of those releases.
+Linux libc4 was the last version to use the a.out binary format,
+and the first version to provide (primitive) shared library support.
+Linux libc 5 was the first version to support the ELF binary format;
+this version used the shared library soname
+.IR libc.so.5 .
+For a while,
+Linux libc was the standard C library in many Linux distributions.
+.PP
+However,
+notwithstanding the original motivations of the Linux libc effort,
+by the time glibc 2.0 was released
+(in 1997),
+it was clearly superior to Linux libc,
+and all major Linux distributions that had been using Linux libc
+soon switched back to glibc.
+To avoid any confusion with Linux libc versions,
+glibc 2.0 and later used the shared library soname
+.IR libc.so.6 .
+.PP
+Since the switch from Linux libc to glibc 2.0 occurred long ago,
+.I man-pages
+no longer takes care to document Linux libc details.
+Nevertheless,
+the history is visible in vestiges of information
+about Linux libc that remain in a few manual pages,
+in particular,
+references to
+.I libc4
+and
+.IR libc5 .
+.SS Other C libraries
+There are various other less widely used C libraries for Linux.
+These libraries are generally smaller than glibc,
+both in terms of features and memory footprint,
+and often intended for building small binaries,
+perhaps targeted at development for embedded Linux systems.
+Among such libraries are
+.UR http://www\:.uclibc\:.org/
+.I uClibc
+.UE ,
+.UR http://www\:.fefe\:.de/\:dietlibc/
+.I dietlibc
+.UE ,
+and
+.UR http://www\:.musl\-libc\:.org/
+.I "musl libc"
+.UE .
+Details of these libraries are covered by the
+.I man-pages
+project,
+where they are known.

+.SH NAME
+locale \- description of multilanguage support
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <locale.h>
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+A locale is a set of language and cultural rules.
+These cover aspects
+such as language for messages, different character sets, lexicographic
+conventions, and so on.
+A program needs to be able to determine its locale
+and act accordingly to be portable to different cultures.
+.PP
+The header
+.I <locale.h>
+declares data types, functions, and macros which are useful in this
+task.
+.PP
+The functions it declares are
+.BR setlocale (3)
+to set the current locale, and
+.BR localeconv (3)
+to get information about number formatting.
+.PP
+There are different categories for locale information a program might
+need; they are declared as macros.
+Using them as the first argument
+to the
+.BR setlocale (3)
+function, it is possible to set one of these to the desired locale:
+.TP
+.BR LC_ADDRESS " (GNU extension, since glibc 2.2)"
+.\" See ISO/IEC Technical Report 14652
+Change settings that describe the formats (e.g., postal addresses)
+used to describe locations and geography-related items.
+Applications that need this information can use
+.BR nl_langinfo (3)
+to retrieve nonstandard elements, such as
+.B _NL_ADDRESS_COUNTRY_NAME
+(country name, in the language of the locale)
+and
+.B _NL_ADDRESS_LANG_NAME
+(language name, in the language of the locale),
+which return strings such as "Deutschland" and "Deutsch"
+(for German-language locales).
+(Other element names are listed in
+.IR <langinfo.h> .)
+.TP
+.B LC_COLLATE
+This category governs the collation rules used for
+sorting and regular expressions,
+including character equivalence classes and
+multicharacter collating elements.
+This locale category changes the behavior of the functions
+.BR strcoll (3)
+and
+.BR strxfrm (3),
+which are used to compare strings in the local alphabet.
+For example,
+the German sharp s is sorted as "ss".
+.TP
+.B LC_CTYPE
+This category determines the interpretation of byte sequences as characters
+(e.g., single versus multibyte characters), character classifications
+(e.g., alphabetic or digit), and the behavior of character classes.
+On glibc systems, this category also determines
+the character transliteration rules for
+.BR iconv (1)
+and
+.BR iconv (3).
+It changes the behavior of the character handling and
+classification functions, such as
+.BR isupper (3)
+and
+.BR toupper (3),
+and the multibyte character functions such as
+.BR mblen (3)
+or
+.BR wctomb (3).
+.TP
+.BR LC_IDENTIFICATION " (GNU extension, since glibc 2.2)"
+.\" See ISO/IEC Technical Report 14652
+Change settings that relate to the metadata for the locale.
+Applications that need this information can use
+.BR nl_langinfo (3)
+to retrieve nonstandard elements, such as
+.B _NL_IDENTIFICATION_TITLE
+(title of this locale document)
+and
+.B _NL_IDENTIFICATION_TERRITORY
+(geographical territory to which this locale document applies),
+which might return strings such as "English locale for the USA"
+and "USA".
+(Other element names are listed in
+.IR <langinfo.h> .)
+.TP
+.B LC_MONETARY
+This category determines the formatting used for
+monetary-related numeric values.
+This changes the information returned by
+.BR localeconv (3),
+which describes the way numbers are usually printed, with details such
+as decimal point versus decimal comma.
+This information is internally
+used by the function
+.BR strfmon (3).
+.TP
+.B LC_MESSAGES
+This category affects the language in which messages are displayed
+and what an affirmative or negative answer looks like.
+The GNU C library contains the
+.BR gettext (3),
+.BR ngettext (3),
+and
+.BR rpmatch (3)
+functions to ease the use of this information.
+The GNU gettext family of
+functions also obey the environment variable
+.B LANGUAGE
+(containing a colon-separated list of locales)
+if the category is set to a valid locale other than
+.BR """C""" .
+This category also affects the behavior of
+.BR catopen (3).
+.TP
+.BR LC_MEASUREMENT " (GNU extension, since glibc 2.2)"
+Change the settings relating to the measurement system in the locale
+(i.e., metric versus US customary units).
+Applications can use
+.BR nl_langinfo (3)
+to retrieve the nonstandard
+.B _NL_MEASUREMENT_MEASUREMENT
+element, which returns a pointer to a character
+that has the value 1 (metric) or 2 (US customary units).
+.TP
+.BR LC_NAME " (GNU extension, since glibc 2.2)"
+.\" See ISO/IEC Technical Report 14652
+Change settings that describe the formats used to address persons.
+Applications that need this information can use
+.BR nl_langinfo (3)
+to retrieve nonstandard elements, such as
+.B _NL_NAME_NAME_MR
+(general salutation for men)
+and
+.B _NL_NAME_NAME_MS
+(general salutation for women)
+elements, which return strings such as "Herr" and "Frau"
+(for German-language locales).
+(Other element names are listed in
+.IR <langinfo.h> .)
+.TP
+.B LC_NUMERIC
+This category determines the formatting rules used for nonmonetary
+numeric values\[em]for example,
+the thousands separator and the radix character
+(a period in most English-speaking countries,
+but a comma in many other regions).
+It affects functions such as
+.BR printf (3),
+.BR scanf (3),
+and
+.BR strtod (3).
+This information can also be read with the
+.BR localeconv (3)
+function.
+.TP
+.BR LC_PAPER " (GNU extension, since glibc 2.2)"
+.\" See ISO/IEC Technical Report 14652
+Change the settings relating to the dimensions of the standard paper size
+(e.g., US letter versus A4).
+Applications that need the dimensions can obtain them by using
+.BR nl_langinfo (3)
+to retrieve the nonstandard
+.B _NL_PAPER_WIDTH
+and
+.B _NL_PAPER_HEIGHT
+elements, which return
+.I int
+values specifying the dimensions in millimeters.
+.TP
+.BR LC_TELEPHONE " (GNU extension, since glibc 2.2)"
+.\" See ISO/IEC Technical Report 14652
+Change settings that describe the formats to be used with telephone services.
+Applications that need this information can use
+.BR nl_langinfo (3)
+to retrieve nonstandard elements, such as
+.B _NL_TELEPHONE_INT_PREFIX
+(international prefix used to call numbers in this locale),
+which returns a string such as "49" (for Germany).
+(Other element names are listed in
+.IR <langinfo.h> .)
+.TP
+.B LC_TIME
+This category governs the formatting used for date and time values.
+For example, most of Europe uses a 24-hour clock versus the
+12-hour clock used in the United States.
+The setting of this category affects the behavior of functions such as
+.BR strftime (3)
+and
+.BR strptime (3).
+.TP
+.B LC_ALL
+All of the above.
+.PP
+If the second argument to
+.BR setlocale (3)
+is an empty string,
+.IR \[dq]\[dq] ,
+for the default locale, it is determined using the following steps:
+.IP (1) 5
+If there is a non-null environment variable
+.BR LC_ALL ,
+the value of
+.B LC_ALL
+is used.
+.IP (2)
+If an environment variable with the same name as one of the categories
+above exists and is non-null, its value is used for that category.
+.IP (3)
+If there is a non-null environment variable
+.BR LANG ,
+the value of
+.B LANG
+is used.
+.PP
+Values about local numeric formatting is made available in a

+.SS POSIX.1-2008 extensions to the locale API
+POSIX.1-2008 standardized a number of extensions to the locale API,
+based on implementations that first appeared in glibc 2.3.
+These extensions are designed to address the problem that
+the traditional locale APIs do not mix well with multithreaded applications
+and with applications that must deal with multiple locales.
+.PP
+The extensions take the form of new functions for creating and
+manipulating locale objects
+.RB ( newlocale (3),
+.BR freelocale (3),
+.BR duplocale (3),
+and
+.BR uselocale (3))
+and various new library functions with the suffix "_l" (e.g.,
+.BR toupper_l (3))
+that extend the traditional locale-dependent APIs (e.g.,
+.BR toupper (3))
+to allow the specification of a locale object that should apply when
+executing the function.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+The following environment variable is used by
+.BR newlocale (3)
+and
+.BR setlocale (3),
+and thus affects all unprivileged localized programs:
+.TP
+.B LOCPATH
+A list of pathnames, separated by colons (\[aq]:\[aq]),
+that should be used to find locale data.
+If this variable is set,
+only the individual compiled locale data files from
+.B LOCPATH
+and the system default locale data path are used;
+any available locale archives are not used (see
+.BR localedef (1)).
+The individual compiled locale data files are searched for under
+subdirectories which depend on the currently used locale.
+For example, when
+.I en_GB.UTF\-8
+is used for a category, the following subdirectories are searched for,
+in this order:
+.IR en_GB.UTF\-8 ,
+.IR en_GB.utf8 ,
+.IR en_GB ,
+.IR en.UTF\-8 ,
+.IR en.utf8 ,
+and
+.IR en .
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.I /usr/lib/locale/locale\-archive
+Usual default locale archive location.
+.TP
+.I /usr/lib/locale
+Usual default path for compiled individual locale files.

+.SH NAME
+mailaddr \- mail addressing description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.nh
+This manual page gives a brief introduction to SMTP mail addresses,
+as used on the Internet.
+These addresses are in the general format
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+user@domain
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+where a domain is a hierarchical dot-separated list of subdomains.
+These examples are valid forms of the same address:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+john.doe@monet.example.com
+John Doe <john.doe@monet.example.com>
+john.doe@monet.example.com (John Doe)
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+The domain part ("monet.example.com") is a mail-accepting domain.
+It can be a host and in the past it usually was, but it doesn't have to be.
+The domain part is not case sensitive.
+.PP
+The local part ("john.doe") is often a username,
+but its meaning is defined by the local software.
+Sometimes it is case sensitive,
+although that is unusual.
+If you see a local-part that looks like garbage,
+it is usually because of a gateway between an internal e-mail
+system and the net, here are some examples:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+"surname/admd=telemail/c=us/o=hp/prmd=hp"@some.where
+USER%SOMETHING@some.where
+machine!machine!name@some.where
+I2461572@some.where
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+(These are, respectively, an X.400 gateway, a gateway to an arbitrary
+internal mail system that lacks proper internet support, an UUCP
+gateway, and the last one is just boring username policy.)
+.PP
+The real-name part ("John Doe") can either be placed before
+<>, or in () at the end.
+(Strictly speaking the two aren't the same,
+but the difference is beyond the scope of this page.)
+The name may have to be quoted using "", for example, if it contains ".":
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+"John Q. Doe" <john.doe@monet.example.com>
+.EE
+.in
+.SS Abbreviation
+Some mail systems let users abbreviate the domain name.
+For instance,
+users at example.com may get away with "john.doe@monet" to
+send mail to John Doe.
+.I This behavior is deprecated.
+Sometimes it works, but you should not depend on it.
+.SS Route-addrs
+In the past, sometimes one had to route a message through
+several hosts to get it to its final destination.
+Addresses which show these relays are termed "route-addrs".
+These use the syntax:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+<@hosta,@hostb:user@hostc>
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+This specifies that the message should be sent to hosta,
+from there to hostb, and finally to hostc.
+Many hosts disregard route-addrs and send directly to hostc.
+.PP
+Route-addrs are very unusual now.
+They occur sometimes in old mail archives.
+It is generally possible to ignore all but the "user@hostc"
+part of the address to determine the actual address.
+.SS Postmaster
+Every site is required to have a user or user alias designated
+"postmaster" to which problems with the mail system may be
+addressed.
+The "postmaster" address is not case sensitive.
+.SH FILES
+.I /etc/aliases

+.SH NAME
+man-pages \- conventions for writing Linux man pages
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B man
+.RI [ section ]
+.I title
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This page describes the conventions that should be employed
+when writing man pages for the Linux \fIman-pages\fP project,
+which documents the user-space API provided by the Linux kernel
+and the GNU C library.
+The project thus provides most of the pages in Section 2,
+many of the pages that appear in Sections 3, 4, and 7,
+and a few of the pages that appear in Sections 1, 5, and 8
+of the man pages on a Linux system.
+The conventions described on this page may also be useful
+for authors writing man pages for other projects.
+.SS Sections of the manual pages
+The manual Sections are traditionally defined as follows:
+.TP
+.B 1 User commands (Programs)
+Commands that can be executed by the user from within
+a shell.
+.TP
+.B 2 System calls
+Functions which wrap operations performed by the kernel.
+.TP
+.B 3 Library calls
+All library functions excluding the system call wrappers
+(Most of the
+.I libc
+functions).
+.TP
+.B 4 Special files (devices)
+Files found in
+.I /dev
+which allow to access to devices through the kernel.
+.TP
+.B 5 File formats and configuration files
+Describes various human-readable file formats and configuration files.
+.TP
+.B 6 Games
+Games and funny little programs available on the system.
+.TP
+.B 7 Overview, conventions, and miscellaneous
+Overviews or descriptions of various topics, conventions, and protocols,
+character set standards, the standard filesystem layout, and miscellaneous
+other things.
+.TP
+.B 8 System management commands
+Commands like
+.BR mount (8),
+many of which only root can execute.
+.\" .TP
+.\" .B 9 Kernel routines
+.\" This is an obsolete manual section.
+.\" Once it was thought a good idea to document the Linux kernel here,
+.\" but in fact very little has been documented, and the documentation
+.\" that exists is outdated already.
+.\" There are better sources of
+.\" information for kernel developers.
+.SS Macro package
+New manual pages should be marked up using the
+.B groff an.tmac
+package described in
+.BR man (7).
+This choice is mainly for consistency: the vast majority of
+existing Linux manual pages are marked up using these macros.
+.SS Conventions for source file layout
+Please limit source code line length to no more than about 75 characters
+wherever possible.
+This helps avoid line-wrapping in some mail clients when patches are
+submitted inline.
+.SS Title line
+The first command in a man page should be a
+.B TH
+command:
+.PP
+.RS
+.B \&.TH
+.I "title section date source manual-section"
+.RE
+.PP
+The arguments of the command are as follows:
+.TP
+.I title
+The title of the man page, written in all caps (e.g.,
+.IR MAN-PAGES ).
+.TP
+.I section
+The section number in which the man page should be placed (e.g.,
+.IR 7 ).
+.TP
+.I date
+The date of the last nontrivial change that was made to the man page.
+(Within the
+.I man-pages
+project, the necessary updates to these timestamps are handled
+automatically by scripts, so there is no need to manually update
+them as part of a patch.)
+Dates should be written in the form YYYY-MM-DD.
+.TP
+.I source
+The name and version of the project that provides the manual page
+(not necessarily the package that provides the functionality).
+.TP
+.I manual-section
+Normally, this should be empty,
+since the default value will be good.
+.\"
+.SS Sections within a manual page
+The list below shows conventional or suggested sections.
+Most manual pages should include at least the
+.B highlighted
+sections.
+Arrange a new manual page so that sections
+are placed in the order shown in the list.

+this kind of consistency can make the information easier to understand.
+If you must, you can create your own
+headings if they make things easier to understand (this can
+be especially useful for pages in Sections 4 and 5).
+However, before doing this, consider whether you could use the
+traditional headings, with some subsections (\fI.SS\fP) within
+those sections.
+.PP
+The following list elaborates on the contents of each of
+the above sections.
+.TP
+.B NAME
+The name of this manual page.
+.IP
+See
+.BR man (7)
+for important details of the line(s) that should follow the
+\fB.SH NAME\fP command.
+All words in this line (including the word immediately
+following the "\e\-") should be in lowercase,
+except where English or technical terminological convention
+dictates otherwise.
+.TP
+.B LIBRARY
+The library providing a symbol.
+.IP
+It shows the common name of the library,
+and in parentheses,
+the name of the library file
+and, if needed, the linker flag needed to link a program against it:
+.RI ( libfoo "[, " \-lfoo ]).
+.TP
+.B SYNOPSIS
+A brief summary of the command or function's interface.
+.IP
+For commands, this shows the syntax of the command and its arguments
+(including options);
+boldface is used for as-is text and italics are used to
+indicate replaceable arguments.
+Brackets ([]) surround optional arguments, vertical bars (|)
+separate choices, and ellipses (\&...) can be repeated.
+For functions, it shows any required data declarations or
+.B #include
+directives, followed by the function declaration.
+.IP
+Where a feature test macro must be defined in order to obtain
+the declaration of a function (or a variable) from a header file,
+then the SYNOPSIS should indicate this, as described in
+.BR feature_test_macros (7).
+.\" FIXME . Say something here about compiler options
+.TP
+.B CONFIGURATION
+Configuration details for a device.
+.IP
+This section normally appears only in Section 4 pages.
+.TP
+.B DESCRIPTION
+An explanation of what the program, function, or format does.
+.IP
+Discuss how it interacts with files and standard input, and what it
+produces on standard output or standard error.
+Omit internals and implementation details unless they're critical for
+understanding the interface.
+Describe the usual case;
+for information on command-line options of a program use the
+.B OPTIONS
+section.
+.\" If there is some kind of input grammar or complex set of subcommands,
+.\" consider describing them in a separate
+.\" .B USAGE
+.\" section (and just place an overview in the
+.\" .B DESCRIPTION
+.\" section).
+.IP
+When describing new behavior or new flags for
+a system call or library function,
+be careful to note the kernel or C library version
+that introduced the change.
+The preferred method of noting this information for flags is as part of a
+.B .TP
+list, in the following form (here, for a new system call flag):
+.RS 16
+.TP
+.BR XYZ_FLAG " (since Linux 3.7)"
+Description of flag...
+.RE
+.IP
+Including version information is especially useful to users
+who are constrained to using older kernel or C library versions
+(which is typical in embedded systems, for example).
+.TP
+.B OPTIONS
+A description of the command-line options accepted by a
+program and how they change its behavior.
+.IP
+This section should appear only for Section 1 and 8 manual pages.
+.\" .TP
+.\" .B USAGE
+.\" describes the grammar of any sublanguage this implements.
+.TP
+.B EXIT STATUS
+A list of the possible exit status values of a program and
+the conditions that cause these values to be returned.
+.IP
+This section should appear only for Section 1 and 8 manual pages.
+.TP
+.B RETURN VALUE
+For Section 2 and 3 pages, this section gives a
+list of the values the library routine will return to the caller
+and the conditions that cause these values to be returned.
+.TP
+.B ERRORS
+For Section 2 and 3 manual pages, this is a list of the
+values that may be placed in
+.I errno
+in the event of an error, along with information about the cause
+of the errors.
+.IP
+Where several different conditions produce the same error,
+the preferred approach is to create separate list entries
+(with duplicate error names) for each of the conditions.
+This makes the separate conditions clear, may make the list easier to read,
+and allows metainformation
+(e.g., kernel version number where the condition first became applicable)
+to be more easily marked for each condition.
+.IP
+.IR "The error list should be in alphabetical order" .
+.TP
+.B ENVIRONMENT
+A list of all environment variables that affect the program or function
+and how they affect it.
+.TP
+.B FILES
+A list of the files the program or function uses, such as
+configuration files, startup files,
+and files the program directly operates on.
+.IP
+Give the full pathname of these files, and use the installation
+process to modify the directory part to match user preferences.
+For many programs, the default installation location is in
+.IR /usr/local ,
+so your base manual page should use
+.I /usr/local
+as the base.
+.\" May 07: Almost no current man pages have a DIAGNOSTICS section;
+.\" "RETURN VALUE" or "EXIT STATUS" is preferred.

+.SH FORMATTING AND WORDING CONVENTIONS
+The following subsections note some details for preferred formatting and
+wording conventions in various sections of the pages in the
+.I man-pages
+project.
+.SS SYNOPSIS
+Wrap the function prototype(s) in a
+.IR .nf / .fi
+pair to prevent filling.
+.PP
+In general, where more than one function prototype is shown in the SYNOPSIS,
+the prototypes should
+.I not
+be separated by blank lines.
+However, blank lines (achieved using
+.IR .PP )
+may be added in the following cases:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+to separate long lists of function prototypes into related groups
+(see for example
+.BR list (3));
+.IP \[bu]
+in other cases that may improve readability.
+.PP
+In the SYNOPSIS, a long function prototype may need to be
+continued over to the next line.
+The continuation line is indented according to the following rules:
+.IP (1) 5
+If there is a single such prototype that needs to be continued,
+then align the continuation line so that when the page is
+rendered on a fixed-width font device (e.g., on an xterm) the
+continuation line starts just below the start of the argument
+list in the line above.
+(Exception: the indentation may be
+adjusted if necessary to prevent a very long continuation line
+or a further continuation line where the function prototype is
+very long.)
+As an example:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.nf
+.BI "int tcsetattr(int " fd ", int " optional_actions ,
+.BI " const struct termios *" termios_p );
+.fi
+.in
+.IP (2)
+But, where multiple functions in the SYNOPSIS require
+continuation lines, and the function names have different
+lengths, then align all continuation lines to start in the
+same column.
+This provides a nicer rendering in PDF output
+(because the SYNOPSIS uses a variable width font where
+spaces render narrower than most characters).
+As an example:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.nf
+.BI "int getopt(int " argc ", char * const " argv[] ,
+.BI " const char *" optstring );
+.BI "int getopt_long(int " argc ", char * const " argv[] ,
+.BI " const char *" optstring ,
+.BI " const struct option *" longopts ", int *" longindex );
+.fi
+.in
+.SS RETURN VALUE
+The preferred wording to describe how
+.I errno
+is set is
+.RI \[dq] errno
+is set to indicate the error"
+or similar.
+.\" Before man-pages 5.11, many different wordings were used, which
+.\" was confusing, and potentially made scripted edits more difficult.
+This wording is consistent with the wording used in both POSIX.1 and FreeBSD.
+.SS ATTRIBUTES
+.\" See man-pages commit c466875ecd64ed3d3cd3e578406851b7dfb397bf
+Note the following:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Wrap the table in this section in a
+.IR ".ad\ l" / .ad
+pair to disable text filling and a
+.IR .nh / .hy
+pair to disable hyphenation.
+.IP \[bu]
+Ensure that the table occupies the full page width through the use of an
+.I lbx
+description for one of the columns
+(usually the first column,
+though in some cases the last column if it contains a lot of text).
+.IP \[bu]
+Make free use of
+.IR T{ / T}
+macro pairs to allow table cells to be broken over multiple lines
+(also bearing in mind that pages may sometimes be rendered to a
+width of less than 80 columns).
+.PP
+For examples of all of the above, see the source code of various pages.
+.SH STYLE GUIDE
+The following subsections describe the preferred style for the
+.I man-pages
+project.
+For details not covered below, the Chicago Manual of Style
+is usually a good source;
+try also grepping for preexisting usage in the project source tree.
+.SS Use of gender-neutral language
+As far as possible, use gender-neutral language in the text of man
+pages.
+Use of "they" ("them", "themself", "their") as a gender-neutral singular
+pronoun is acceptable.
+.\"
+.SS Formatting conventions for manual pages describing commands
+For manual pages that describe a command (typically in Sections 1 and 8),
+the arguments are always specified using italics,
+.IR "even in the SYNOPSIS section" .
+.PP
+The name of the command, and its options, should
+always be formatted in bold.
+.\"
+.SS Formatting conventions for manual pages describing functions
+For manual pages that describe functions (typically in Sections 2 and 3),
+the arguments are always specified using italics,
+.IR "even in the SYNOPSIS section" ,
+where the rest of the function is specified in bold:
+.PP
+.BI " int myfunction(int " argc ", char **" argv );
+.PP
+Variable names should, like argument names, be specified in italics.
+.PP
+Any reference to the subject of the current manual page
+should be written with the name in bold followed by
+a pair of parentheses in Roman (normal) font.
+For example, in the
+.BR fcntl (2)
+man page, references to the subject of the page would be written as:
+.BR fcntl ().
+The preferred way to write this in the source file is:
+.PP
+.EX
+ .BR fcntl ()
+.EE
+.PP
+(Using this format, rather than the use of "\efB...\efP()"
+makes it easier to write tools that parse man page source files.)
+.\"
+.SS Use semantic newlines
+In the source of a manual page,
+new sentences should be started on new lines,
+long sentences should be split into lines at clause breaks
+(commas, semicolons, colons, and so on),
+and long clauses should be split at phrase boundaries.
+This convention, sometimes known as "semantic newlines",
+makes it easier to see the effect of patches,
+which often operate at the level of
+individual sentences, clauses, or phrases.
+.\"
+.SS Lists
+There are different kinds of lists:
+.TP
+Tagged paragraphs
+These are used for a list of tags and their descriptions.
+When the tags are constants (either macros or numbers)
+they are in bold.
+Use the
+.B .TP
+macro.
+.IP
+An example is this "Tagged paragraphs" subsection is itself.
+.TP
+Ordered lists
+Elements are preceded by a number in parentheses (1), (2).
+These represent a set of steps that have an order.
+.IP
+When there are substeps,
+they will be numbered like (4.2).
+.TP
+Positional lists
+Elements are preceded by a number (index) in square brackets [4], [5].
+These represent fields in a set.
+The first index will be:
+.RS
+.TP
+.B 0
+When it represents fields of a C data structure,
+to be consistent with arrays.
+.PD 0
+.TP
+.B 1
+When it represents fields of a file,
+to be consistent with tools like
+.BR cut (1).
+.PD
+.RE
+.TP
+Alternatives list
+Elements are preceded by a letter in parentheses (a), (b).
+These represent a set of (normally) exclusive alternatives.
+.TP
+Bullet lists
+Elements are preceded by bullet symbols
+.RB ( \e[bu] ).
+Anything that doesn't fit elsewhere is
+usually covered by this type of list.
+.TP
+Numbered notes
+Not really a list,
+but the syntax is identical to "positional lists".
+.PP
+There should always be exactly
+2 spaces between the list symbol and the elements.
+This doesn't apply to "tagged paragraphs",
+which use the default indentation rules.
+.\"
+.SS Formatting conventions (general)
+Paragraphs should be separated by suitable markers (usually either
+.I .PP
+or
+.IR .IP ).
+Do
+.I not
+separate paragraphs using blank lines, as this results in poor rendering
+in some output formats (such as PostScript and PDF).
+.PP
+Filenames (whether pathnames, or references to header files)
+are always in italics (e.g.,
+.IR <stdio.h> ),
+except in the SYNOPSIS section, where included files are in bold (e.g.,
+.BR "#include <stdio.h>" ).
+When referring to a standard header file include,
+specify the header file surrounded by angle brackets,
+in the usual C way (e.g.,
+.IR <stdio.h> ).
+.PP
+Special macros, which are usually in uppercase, are in bold (e.g.,
+.BR MAXINT ).
+Exception: don't boldface NULL.
+.PP
+When enumerating a list of error codes, the codes are in bold (this list
+usually uses the
+.B \&.TP
+macro).
+.PP
+Complete commands should, if long,
+be written as an indented line on their own,
+with a blank line before and after the command, for example
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+man 7 man\-pages
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+If the command is short, then it can be included inline in the text,
+in italic format, for example,
+.IR "man 7 man-pages" .
+In this case, it may be worth using nonbreaking spaces
+(\e[ti]) at suitable places in the command.
+Command options should be written in italics (e.g.,
+.IR \-l ).
+.PP
+Expressions, if not written on a separate indented line, should
+be specified in italics.
+Again, the use of nonbreaking spaces may be appropriate
+if the expression is inlined with normal text.
+.PP
+When showing example shell sessions,
+user input should be formatted in bold,
+for example
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+$ \fBdate\fP
+Thu Jul 7 13:01:27 CEST 2016
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+Any reference to another man page
+should be written with the name in bold,
+.I always
+followed by the section number,
+formatted in Roman (normal) font, without any
+separating spaces (e.g.,
+.BR intro (2)).
+The preferred way to write this in the source file is:
+.PP
+.EX
+ .BR intro (2)
+.EE
+.PP
+(Including the section number in cross references lets tools like
+.BR man2html (1)
+create properly hyperlinked pages.)
+.PP
+Control characters should be written in bold face,
+with no quotes; for example,
+.BR \[ha]X .
+.SS Spelling
+Starting with release 2.59,
+.I man-pages
+follows American spelling conventions
+(previously, there was a random mix of British and American spellings);
+please write all new pages and patches according to these conventions.
+.PP
+Aside from the well-known spelling differences,
+there are a few other subtleties to watch for:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+American English tends to use the forms "backward", "upward", "toward",
+and so on
+rather than the British forms "backwards", "upwards", "towards", and so on.
+.IP \[bu]
+Opinions are divided on "acknowledgement" vs "acknowledgment".
+The latter is predominant, but not universal usage in American English.
+POSIX and the BSD license use the former spelling.
+In the Linux man-pages project, we use "acknowledgement".
+.SS BSD version numbers
+The classical scheme for writing BSD version numbers is
+.IR x.yBSD ,
+where
+.I x.y
+is the version number (e.g., 4.2BSD).
+Avoid forms such as
+.IR "BSD 4.3" .
+.SS Capitalization
+In subsection ("SS") headings,
+capitalize the first word in the heading, but otherwise use lowercase,
+except where English usage (e.g., proper nouns) or programming
+language requirements (e.g., identifier names) dictate otherwise.
+For example:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+\&.SS Unicode under Linux
+.EE
+.in
+.\"
+.SS Indentation of structure definitions, shell session logs, and so on
+When structure definitions, shell session logs, and so on are included
+in running text, indent them by 4 spaces (i.e., a block enclosed by
+.I ".in\ +4n"
+and
+.IR ".in" ),
+format them using the
+.I .EX
+and
+.I .EE
+macros, and surround them with suitable paragraph markers (either
+.I .PP
+or
+.IR .IP ).
+For example:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+\&.PP
+\&.in +4n
+\&.EX
+int
+main(int argc, char *argv[])
+{
+ return 0;

+.SS Trademarks
+Use the correct spelling and case for trademarks.
+The following is a list of the correct spellings of various
+relevant trademarks that are sometimes misspelled:
+.IP
+.TS
+l.
+DG/UX
+HP-UX
+UNIX
+UnixWare
+.TE
+.SS NULL, NUL, null pointer, and null byte
+A
+.I null pointer
+is a pointer that points to nothing,
+and is normally indicated by the constant
+.IR NULL .
+On the other hand,
+.I NUL
+is the
+.IR "null byte" ,
+a byte with the value 0, represented in C via the character constant
+.IR \[aq]\e0\[aq] .
+.PP
+The preferred term for the pointer is "null pointer" or simply "NULL";
+avoid writing "NULL pointer".
+.PP
+The preferred term for the byte is "null byte".
+Avoid writing "NUL", since it is too easily confused with "NULL".
+Avoid also the terms "zero byte" and "null character".
+The byte that terminates a C string should be described
+as "the terminating null byte";
+strings may be described as "null-terminated",
+but avoid the use of "NUL-terminated".
+.SS Hyperlinks
+For hyperlinks, use the
+.IR .UR / .UE
+macro pair
+(see
+.BR groff_man (7)).
+This produces proper hyperlinks that can be used in a web browser,
+when rendering a page with, say:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+BROWSER=firefox man -H pagename
+.EE
+.in
+.SS Use of e.g., i.e., etc., a.k.a., and similar
+In general, the use of abbreviations such as "e.g.", "i.e.", "etc.",
+"cf.", and "a.k.a." should be avoided,
+in favor of suitable full wordings
+("for example", "that is", "and so on", "compare to", "also known as").
+.PP
+The only place where such abbreviations may be acceptable is in
+.I short
+parenthetical asides (e.g., like this one).
+.PP
+Always include periods in such abbreviations, as shown here.
+In addition, "e.g." and "i.e." should always be followed by a comma.
+.SS Em-dashes
+The way to write an em-dash\[em]the glyph that appears
+at either end of this subphrase\[em]in *roff is with the macro "\e[em]".
+(On an ASCII terminal, an em-dash typically renders as two hyphens,
+but in other typographical contexts it renders as a long dash.)
+Em-dashes should be written
+.I without
+surrounding spaces.
+.SS Hyphenation of attributive compounds
+Compound terms should be hyphenated when used attributively
+(i.e., to qualify a following noun). Some examples:
+.IP
+.TS
+l.
+32-bit value
+command-line argument
+floating-point number
+run-time check
+user-space function
+wide-character string
+.TE
+.SS Hyphenation with multi, non, pre, re, sub, and so on
+The general tendency in modern English is not to hyphenate
+after prefixes such as "multi", "non", "pre", "re", "sub", and so on.
+Manual pages should generally follow this rule when these prefixes are
+used in natural English constructions with simple suffixes.
+The following list gives some examples of the preferred forms:
+.IP
+.TS
+l.
+interprocess
+multithreaded
+multiprocess
+nonblocking
+nondefault
+nonempty
+noninteractive
+nonnegative
+nonportable
+nonzero
+preallocated
+precreate
+prerecorded
+reestablished
+reinitialize
+rearm
+reread
+subcomponent
+subdirectory
+subsystem
+.TE
+.PP
+Hyphens should be retained when the prefixes are used in nonstandard
+English words, with trademarks, proper nouns, acronyms, or compound terms.
+Some examples:
+.IP
+.TS
+l.
+non-ASCII
+non-English
+non-NULL
+non-real-time
+.TE
+.PP
+Finally, note that "re-create" and "recreate" are two different verbs,
+and the former is probably what you want.
+.\"
+.SS Generating optimal glyphs
+Where a real minus character is required (e.g., for numbers such as \-1,
+for man page cross references such as
+.BR utf\-8 (7),
+or when writing options that have a leading dash, such as in
+.IR "ls\ \-l"),
+use the following form in the man page source:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+\e\-
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+This guideline applies also to code examples.
+.PP
+The use of real minus signs serves the following purposes:
+.\" https://lore.kernel.org/linux-man/20210121061158.5ul7226fgbrmodbt@localhost.localdomain/
+.IP \[bu] 3
+To provide better renderings on various targets other than
+ASCII terminals,
+notably in PDF and on Unicode/UTF\-8-capable terminals.
+.IP \[bu]
+To generate glyphs that when copied from rendered pages will
+produce real minus signs when pasted into a terminal.
+.PP
+To produce unslanted single quotes that render well in ASCII, UTF-8, and PDF,
+use "\e[aq]" ("apostrophe quote"); for example
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+\e[aq]C\e[aq]
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+where
+.I C
+is the quoted character.
+This guideline applies also to character constants used in code examples.
+.PP
+Where a proper caret (\[ha]) that renders well in both a terminal and PDF
+is required, use "\\[ha]".
+This is especially necessary in code samples,
+to get a nicely rendered caret when rendering to PDF.
+.PP
+Using a naked "\[ti]" character results in a poor rendering in PDF.
+Instead use "\\[ti]".
+This is especially necessary in code samples,
+to get a nicely rendered tilde when rendering to PDF.
+.\"
+.SS Example programs and shell sessions
+Manual pages may include example programs demonstrating how to
+use a system call or library function.
+However, note the following:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Example programs should be written in C.
+.IP \[bu]
+An example program is necessary and useful only if it demonstrates
+something beyond what can easily be provided in a textual
+description of the interface.
+An example program that does nothing
+other than call an interface usually serves little purpose.
+.IP \[bu]
+Example programs should ideally be short
+(e.g., a good example can often be provided in less than 100 lines of code),
+though in some cases longer programs may be necessary
+to properly illustrate the use of an API.
+.IP \[bu]
+Expressive code is appreciated.
+.IP \[bu]
+Comments should included where helpful.
+Complete sentences in free-standing comments should be
+terminated by a period.
+Periods should generally be omitted in "tag" comments
+(i.e., comments that are placed on the same line of code);
+such comments are in any case typically brief phrases
+rather than complete sentences.
+.IP \[bu]
+Example programs should do error checking after system calls and
+library function calls.
+.IP \[bu]
+Example programs should be complete, and compile without
+warnings when compiled with \fIcc\ \-Wall\fP.
+.IP \[bu]
+Where possible and appropriate, example programs should allow
+experimentation, by varying their behavior based on inputs
+(ideally from command-line arguments, or alternatively, via
+input read by the program).
+.IP \[bu]
+Example programs should be laid out according to Kernighan and
+Ritchie style, with 4-space indents.
+(Avoid the use of TAB characters in source code!)
+The following command can be used to format your source code to
+something close to the preferred style:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+indent \-npro \-kr \-i4 \-ts4 \-sob \-l72 \-ss \-nut \-psl prog.c
+.EE
+.in
+.IP \[bu]
+For consistency, all example programs should terminate using either of:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
+exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
+.EE

+.B man
+.RI [ section ]
+.I title
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page explains the
+.B "groff an.tmac"
+macro package (often called the
+.B man
+macro package).
+This macro package should be used by developers when
+writing or porting man pages for Linux.
+It is fairly compatible with other
+versions of this macro package, so porting man pages should not be a major
+problem (exceptions include the NET-2 BSD release, which uses a totally
+different macro package called mdoc; see
+.BR mdoc (7)).
+.PP
+Note that NET-2 BSD mdoc man pages can be used with
+.B groff
+simply by specifying the
+.B \-mdoc
+option instead of the
+.B \-man
+option.
+Using the
+.B \-mandoc
+option is, however, recommended, since this will automatically detect which
+macro package is in use.
+.PP
+For conventions that should be employed when writing man pages
+for the Linux \fIman-pages\fP package, see
+.BR man\-pages (7).
+.SS Title line
+The first command in a man page (after comment lines,
+that is, lines that start with \fB.\e"\fP) should be
+.PP
+.RS
+.B .TH
+.I "title section date source manual"
+.RE
+.PP
+For details of the arguments that should be supplied to the
+.B TH
+command, see
+.BR man\-pages (7).
+.PP
+Note that BSD mdoc-formatted pages begin with the
+.B Dd
+command, not the
+.B TH
+command.
+.SS Sections
+Sections are started with
+.B .SH
+followed by the heading name.
+.\" The following doesn't seem to be required (see Debian bug 411303),
+.\" If the name contains spaces and appears
+.\" on the same line as
+.\" .BR .SH ,
+.\" then place the heading in double quotes.
+.PP
+The only mandatory heading is NAME, which should be the first section and
+be followed on the next line by a one-line description of the program:
+.PP
+.RS
+\&.SH NAME
+.br
+item \e- description
+.RE
+.PP
+It is extremely important that this format is followed, and that there is a
+backslash before the single dash which follows the item name.
+This syntax is used by the
+.BR mandb (8)
+program to create a database of short descriptions for the
+.BR whatis (1)
+and
+.BR apropos (1)
+commands.
+(See
+.BR lexgrog (1)
+for further details on the syntax of the NAME section.)
+.PP
+For a list of other sections that might appear in a manual page, see
+.BR man\-pages (7).
+.SS Fonts
+The commands to select the type face are:
+.TP 4
+.B .B
+Bold
+.TP
+.B .BI
+Bold alternating with italics
+(especially useful for function specifications)
+.TP
+.B .BR
+Bold alternating with Roman
+(especially useful for referring to other
+manual pages)
+.TP
+.B .I
+Italics
+.TP
+.B .IB
+Italics alternating with bold
+.TP
+.B .IR
+Italics alternating with Roman
+.TP
+.B .RB
+Roman alternating with bold
+.TP
+.B .RI
+Roman alternating with italics
+.TP
+.B .SB
+Small alternating with bold
+.TP
+.B .SM
+Small (useful for acronyms)
+.PP
+Traditionally, each command can have up to six arguments, but the GNU
+implementation removes this limitation (you might still want to limit
+yourself to 6 arguments for portability's sake).
+Arguments are delimited by spaces.
+Double quotes can be used to specify an argument which contains spaces.
+For the macros that produce alternating type faces,
+the arguments will be printed next to each other without
+intervening spaces, so that the
+.B .BR
+command can be used to specify a word in bold followed by a mark of
+punctuation in Roman.
+If no arguments are given, the command is applied to the following line
+of text.
+.SS Other macros and strings
+Below are other relevant macros and predefined strings.
+Unless noted otherwise, all macros
+cause a break (end the current line of text).
+Many of these macros set or use the "prevailing indent".
+The "prevailing indent" value is set by any macro with the parameter
+.I i
+below;
+macros may omit
+.I i
+in which case the current prevailing indent will be used.
+As a result, successive indented paragraphs can use the same indent without
+respecifying the indent value.
+A normal (nonindented) paragraph resets the prevailing indent value
+to its default value (0.5 inches).
+By default, a given indent is measured in ens;
+try to use ens or ems as units for
+indents, since these will automatically adjust to font size changes.
+The other key macro definitions are:
+.SS Normal paragraphs
+.TP 9m
+.B .LP
+Same as
+.B .PP
+(begin a new paragraph).
+.TP
+.B .P
+Same as
+.B .PP
+(begin a new paragraph).
+.TP
+.B .PP
+Begin a new paragraph and reset prevailing indent.
+.SS Relative margin indent
+.TP 9m
+.BI .RS " i"
+Start relative margin indent: moves the left margin
+.I i
+to the right (if
+.I i
+is omitted, the prevailing indent value is used).
+A new prevailing indent is set to 0.5 inches.
+As a result, all following paragraph(s) will be
+indented until the corresponding
+.BR .RE .
+.TP
+.B .RE
+End relative margin indent and
+restores the previous value of the prevailing indent.
+.SS Indented paragraph macros
+.TP 9m
+.BI .HP " i"
+Begin paragraph with a hanging indent
+(the first line of the paragraph is at the left margin of
+normal paragraphs, and the rest of the paragraph's lines are indented).
+.TP
+.BI .IP " x i"
+Indented paragraph with optional hanging tag.
+If the tag
+.I x
+is omitted, the entire following paragraph is indented by
+.IR i .
+If the tag
+.I x
+is provided, it is hung at the left margin
+before the following indented paragraph
+(this is just like
+.B .TP
+except the tag is included with the command instead of being on the
+following line).
+If the tag is too long, the text after the tag will be moved down to the
+next line (text will not be lost or garbled).
+For bulleted lists, use this macro with \e(bu (bullet) or \e(em (em dash)
+as the tag, and for numbered lists, use the number or letter followed by
+a period as the tag;
+this simplifies translation to other formats.
+.TP
+.BI .TP " i"
+Begin paragraph with hanging tag.
+The tag is given on the next line, but
+its results are like those of the
+.B .IP
+command.
+.SS Hypertext link macros
+.TP
+.BI .UR " url"
+Insert a hypertext link to the URI (URL)
+.IR url ,
+with all text up to the following
+.B .UE
+macro as the link text.
+.TP
+.BR .UE \~\c
+.RI [ trailer ]
+Terminate the link text of the preceding
+.B .UR
+macro, with the optional
+.I trailer
+(if present, usually a closing parenthesis and/or end-of-sentence
+punctuation) immediately following.
+For non-HTML output devices (e.g.,
+.BR "man \-Tutf8" ),
+the link text is followed by the URL in angle brackets; if there is no
+link text, the URL is printed as its own link text, surrounded by angle
+brackets.
+(Angle brackets may not be available on all output devices.)
+For the HTML output device, the link text is hyperlinked to the URL; if
+there is no link text, the URL is printed as its own link text.
+.PP
+These macros have been supported since GNU Troff 1.20 (2009-01-05) and
+Heirloom Doctools Troff since 160217 (2016-02-17).
+.SS Miscellaneous macros
+.TP 9m
+.B .DT
+Reset tabs to default tab values (every 0.5 inches);
+does not cause a break.
+.TP
+.BI .PD " d"
+Set inter-paragraph vertical distance to d
+(if omitted, d=0.4v);
+does not cause a break.
+.TP
+.BI .SS " t"
+Subheading
+.I t
+(like
+.BR .SH ,
+but used for a subsection inside a section).
+.SS Predefined strings
+The
+.B man
+package has the following predefined strings:
+.TP
+\e*R
+Registration Symbol: \*R
+.TP
+\e*S
+Change to default font size
+.TP
+\e*(Tm
+Trademark Symbol: \*(Tm
+.TP
+\e*(lq
+Left angled double quote: \*(lq
+.TP
+\e*(rq
+Right angled double quote: \*(rq
+.SS Safe subset
+Although technically
+.B man
+is a troff macro package, in reality a large number of other tools
+process man page files that don't implement all of troff's abilities.
+Thus, it's best to avoid some of troff's more exotic abilities
+where possible to permit these other tools to work correctly.
+Avoid using the various troff preprocessors
+(if you must, go ahead and use
+.BR tbl (1),
+but try to use the
+.B IP
+and
+.B TP
+commands instead for two-column tables).
+Avoid using computations; most other tools can't process them.
+Use simple commands that are easy to translate to other formats.
+The following troff macros are believed to be safe (though in many cases
+they will be ignored by translators):
+.BR \e" ,
+.BR . ,
+.BR ad ,
+.BR bp ,
+.BR br ,
+.BR ce ,
+.BR de ,
+.BR ds ,
+.BR el ,
+.BR ie ,
+.BR if ,
+.BR fi ,
+.BR ft ,
+.BR hy ,
+.BR ig ,
+.BR in ,
+.BR na ,
+.BR ne ,
+.BR nf ,
+.BR nh ,
+.BR ps ,
+.BR so ,
+.BR sp ,
+.BR ti ,
+.BR tr .
+.PP
+You may also use many troff escape sequences (those sequences beginning
+with \e).
+When you need to include the backslash character as normal text,
+use \ee.
+Other sequences you may use, where x or xx are any characters and N
+is any digit, include:
+.BR \e\[aq] ,
+.BR \e\[ga] ,
+.BR \e- ,
+.BR \e. ,
+.BR \e" ,
+.BR \e% ,
+.BR \e*x ,
+.BR \e*(xx ,
+.BR \e(xx ,
+.BR \e$N ,
+.BR \enx ,
+.BR \en(xx ,
+.BR \efx ,
+and
+.BR \ef(xx .
+Avoid using the escape sequences for drawing graphics.
+.PP
+Do not use the optional parameter for
+.B bp
+(break page).
+Use only positive values for
+.B sp
+(vertical space).
+Don't define a macro
+.RB ( de )
+with the same name as a macro in this or the
+mdoc macro package with a different meaning; it's likely that
+such redefinitions will be ignored.
+Every positive indent
+.RB ( in )
+should be paired with a matching negative indent
+(although you should be using the
+.B RS
+and
+.B RE
+macros instead).
+The condition test
+.RB ( if,ie )
+should only have \[aq]t\[aq] or \[aq]n\[aq] as the condition.
+Only translations
+.RB ( tr )
+that can be ignored should be used.
+Font changes
+.RB ( ft
+and the \fB\ef\fP escape sequence)
+should only have the values 1, 2, 3, 4, R, I, B, P, or CW
+(the ft command may also have no parameters).
+.PP
+If you use capabilities beyond these, check the
+results carefully on several tools.
+Once you've confirmed that the additional capability is safe,
+let the maintainer of this
+document know about the safe command or sequence
+that should be added to this list.
+.SH FILES
+.IR /usr/share/groff/ [*/] tmac/an.tmac
+.br
+.I /usr/man/whatis
+.SH NOTES
+By all means include full URLs (or URIs) in the text itself;
+some tools such as
+.BR man2html (1)
+can automatically turn them into hypertext links.
+You can also use the
+.B UR
+and
+.B UE
+macros to identify links to related information.
+If you include URLs, use the full URL
+(e.g.,
+.UR http://www.kernel.org
+.UE )
+to ensure that tools can automatically find the URLs.
+.PP
+Tools processing these files should open the file and examine the first
+nonwhitespace character.
+A period (.) or single quote (\[aq]) at the beginning
+of a line indicates a troff-based file (such as man or mdoc).
+A left angle bracket (<) indicates an SGML/XML-based
+file (such as HTML or Docbook).
+Anything else suggests simple ASCII
+text (e.g., a "catman" result).
+.PP
+Many man pages begin with \fB\[aq]\e"\fP followed by a
+space and a list of characters,
+indicating how the page is to be preprocessed.
+For portability's sake to non-troff translators we recommend
+that you avoid using anything other than
+.BR tbl (1),
+and Linux can detect that automatically.
+However, you might want to include this information so your man page
+can be handled by other (less capable) systems.
+Here are the definitions of the preprocessors invoked by these characters:
+.TP 3
+.B e
+eqn(1)
+.TP
+.B g
+grap(1)
+.TP
+.B p
+pic(1)
+.TP
+.B r
+refer(1)
+.TP
+.B t
+tbl(1)
+.TP
+.B v
+vgrind(1)
+.SH BUGS
+Most of the macros describe formatting (e.g., font type and spacing) instead
+of marking semantic content (e.g., this text is a reference to another page),
+compared to formats like mdoc and DocBook (even HTML has more semantic
+markings).
+This situation makes it harder to vary the
+.B man
+format for different media,
+to make the formatting consistent for a given media, and to automatically
+insert cross-references.
+By sticking to the safe subset described above, it should be easier to
+automate transitioning to a different reference page format in the future.
+.PP
+The Sun macro
+.B TX
+is not implemented.

+.SH NAME
+math_error \- detecting errors from mathematical functions
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <math.h>
+.B #include <errno.h>
+.B #include <fenv.h>
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+When an error occurs,
+most library functions indicate this fact by returning a special value
+(e.g., \-1 or NULL).
+Because they typically return a floating-point number,
+the mathematical functions declared in
+.I <math.h>
+indicate an error using other mechanisms.
+There are two error-reporting mechanisms:
+the older one sets
+.IR errno ;
+the newer one uses the floating-point exception mechanism (the use of
+.BR feclearexcept (3)
+and
+.BR fetestexcept (3),
+as outlined below)
+described in
+.BR fenv (3).
+.PP
+A portable program that needs to check for an error from a mathematical
+function should set
+.I errno
+to zero, and make the following call
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+before calling a mathematical function.
+.PP
+Upon return from the mathematical function, if
+.I errno
+is nonzero, or the following call (see
+.BR fenv (3))
+returns nonzero
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW |
+ FE_UNDERFLOW);
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+.\" enum
+.\" {
+.\" FE_INVALID = 0x01,
+.\" __FE_DENORM = 0x02,
+.\" FE_DIVBYZERO = 0x04,
+.\" FE_OVERFLOW = 0x08,
+.\" FE_UNDERFLOW = 0x10,
+.\" FE_INEXACT = 0x20
+.\" };
+then an error occurred in the mathematical function.
+.PP
+The error conditions that can occur for mathematical functions
+are described below.
+.SS Domain error
+A
+.I domain error
+occurs when a mathematical function is supplied with an argument whose
+value falls outside the domain for which the function
+is defined (e.g., giving a negative argument to
+.BR log (3)).
+When a domain error occurs,
+math functions commonly return a NaN
+(though some functions return a different value in this case);
+.I errno
+is set to
+.BR EDOM ,
+and an "invalid"
+.RB ( FE_INVALID )
+floating-point exception is raised.
+.SS Pole error
+A
+.I pole error
+occurs when the mathematical result of a function is an exact infinity
+(e.g., the logarithm of 0 is negative infinity).
+When a pole error occurs,
+the function returns the (signed) value
+.BR HUGE_VAL ,
+.BR HUGE_VALF ,
+or
+.BR HUGE_VALL ,
+depending on whether the function result type is
+.IR double ,
+.IR float ,
+or
+.IR "long double" .
+The sign of the result is that which is mathematically correct for
+the function.
+.I errno
+is set to
+.BR ERANGE ,
+and a "divide-by-zero"
+.RB ( FE_DIVBYZERO )
+floating-point exception is raised.
+.SS Range error
+A
+.I range error
+occurs when the magnitude of the function result means that it
+cannot be represented in the result type of the function.
+The return value of the function depends on whether the range error
+was an overflow or an underflow.
+.PP
+A floating result
+.I overflows
+if the result is finite,
+but is too large to represented in the result type.
+When an overflow occurs,
+the function returns the value
+.BR HUGE_VAL ,
+.BR HUGE_VALF ,
+or
+.BR HUGE_VALL ,
+depending on whether the function result type is
+.IR double ,
+.IR float ,
+or
+.IR "long double" .
+.I errno
+is set to
+.BR ERANGE ,
+and an "overflow"
+.RB ( FE_OVERFLOW )
+floating-point exception is raised.
+.PP
+A floating result
+.I underflows
+if the result is too small to be represented in the result type.
+If an underflow occurs,
+a mathematical function typically returns 0.0
+(C99 says a function shall return "an implementation-defined value
+whose magnitude is no greater than the smallest normalized
+positive number in the specified type").
+.I errno
+may be set to
+.BR ERANGE ,
+and an "underflow"
+.RB ( FE_UNDERFLOW )
+floating-point exception may be raised.
+.PP
+Some functions deliver a range error if the supplied argument value,
+or the correct function result, would be
+.IR subnormal .
+A subnormal value is one that is nonzero,
+but with a magnitude that is so small that
+it can't be presented in normalized form
+(i.e., with a 1 in the most significant bit of the significand).
+The representation of a subnormal number will contain one
+or more leading zeros in the significand.
+.SH NOTES
+The
+.I math_errhandling
+identifier specified by C99 and POSIX.1 is not supported by glibc.
+.\" See CONFORMANCE in the glibc 2.8 (and earlier) source.
+This identifier is supposed to indicate which of the two
+error-notification mechanisms
+.RI ( errno ,
+exceptions retrievable via
+.BR fetestexcept (3))
+is in use.
+The standards require that at least one be in use,
+but permit both to be available.
+The current (glibc 2.8) situation under glibc is messy.
+Most (but not all) functions raise exceptions on errors.
+Some also set
+.IR errno .
+A few functions set
+.IR errno ,
+but don't raise an exception.
+A very few functions do neither.
+See the individual manual pages for details.
+.PP
+To avoid the complexities of using
+.I errno
+and
+.BR fetestexcept (3)
+for error checking,
+it is often advised that one should instead check for bad argument
+values before each call.
+.\" http://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/seccode/FLP32-C.+Prevent+or+detect+domain+and+range+errors+in+math+functions
+For example, the following code ensures that
+.BR log (3)'s
+argument is not a NaN and is not zero (a pole error) or
+less than zero (a domain error):
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+double x, r;
+\&
+if (isnan(x) || islessequal(x, 0)) {
+ /* Deal with NaN / pole error / domain error */
+}
+\&
+r = log(x);
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+The discussion on this page does not apply to the complex
+mathematical functions (i.e., those declared by
+.IR <complex.h> ),
+which in general are not required to return errors by C99
+and POSIX.1.
+.PP
+The
+.BR gcc (1)
+.I "\-fno\-math\-errno"
+option causes the executable to employ implementations of some
+mathematical functions that are faster than the standard
+implementations, but do not set
+.I errno
+on error.
+(The
+.BR gcc (1)
+.I "\-ffast\-math"
+option also enables
+.IR "\-fno\-math\-errno" .)
+An error can still be tested for using
+.BR fetestexcept (3).

+.SH NAME
+mount_namespaces \- overview of Linux mount namespaces
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+For an overview of namespaces, see
+.BR namespaces (7).
+.PP
+Mount namespaces provide isolation of the list of mounts seen
+by the processes in each namespace instance.
+Thus, the processes in each of the mount namespace instances
+will see distinct single-directory hierarchies.
+.PP
+The views provided by the
+.IR /proc/ pid /mounts ,
+.IR /proc/ pid /mountinfo ,
+and
+.IR /proc/ pid /mountstats
+files (all described in
+.BR proc (5))
+correspond to the mount namespace in which the process with the PID
+.I pid
+resides.
+(All of the processes that reside in the same mount namespace
+will see the same view in these files.)
+.PP
+A new mount namespace is created using either
+.BR clone (2)
+or

+.\"
+.SH SHARED SUBTREES
+After the implementation of mount namespaces was completed,
+experience showed that the isolation that they provided was,
+in some cases, too great.
+For example, in order to make a newly loaded optical disk
+available in all mount namespaces,
+a mount operation was required in each namespace.
+For this use case, and others,
+the shared subtree feature was introduced in Linux 2.6.15.
+This feature allows for automatic, controlled propagation of
+.BR mount (2)
+and
+.BR umount (2)
+.I events
+between namespaces
+(or, more precisely, between the mounts that are members of a
+.I peer group
+that are propagating events to one another).
+.PP
+Each mount is marked (via
+.BR mount (2))
+as having one of the following
+.IR "propagation types" :
+.TP
+.B MS_SHARED
+This mount shares events with members of a peer group.
+.BR mount (2)
+and
+.BR umount (2)
+events immediately under this mount will propagate
+to the other mounts that are members of the peer group.
+.I Propagation
+here means that the same
+.BR mount (2)
+or
+.BR umount (2)
+will automatically occur
+under all of the other mounts in the peer group.
+Conversely,
+.BR mount (2)
+and
+.BR umount (2)
+events that take place under
+peer mounts will propagate to this mount.
+.TP
+.B MS_PRIVATE
+This mount is private; it does not have a peer group.
+.BR mount (2)
+and
+.BR umount (2)
+events do not propagate into or out of this mount.
+.TP
+.B MS_SLAVE
+.BR mount (2)
+and
+.BR umount (2)
+events propagate into this mount from
+a (master) shared peer group.
+.BR mount (2)
+and
+.BR umount (2)
+events under this mount do not propagate to any peer.
+.IP
+Note that a mount can be the slave of another peer group
+while at the same time sharing
+.BR mount (2)
+and
+.BR umount (2)
+events
+with a peer group of which it is a member.
+(More precisely, one peer group can be the slave of another peer group.)
+.TP
+.B MS_UNBINDABLE
+This is like a private mount,
+and in addition this mount can't be bind mounted.
+Attempts to bind mount this mount
+.RB ( mount (2)
+with the
+.B MS_BIND
+flag) will fail.
+.IP
+When a recursive bind mount
+.RB ( mount (2)
+with the
+.B MS_BIND
+and
+.B MS_REC
+flags) is performed on a directory subtree,
+any bind mounts within the subtree are automatically pruned
+(i.e., not replicated)
+when replicating that subtree to produce the target subtree.
+.PP
+For a discussion of the propagation type assigned to a new mount,
+see NOTES.
+.PP
+The propagation type is a per-mount-point setting;
+some mounts may be marked as shared
+(with each shared mount being a member of a distinct peer group),
+while others are private
+(or slaved or unbindable).
+.PP
+Note that a mount's propagation type determines whether
+.BR mount (2)
+and
+.BR umount (2)
+of mounts
+.I immediately under
+the mount are propagated.
+Thus, the propagation type does not affect propagation of events for
+grandchildren and further removed descendant mounts.
+What happens if the mount itself is unmounted is determined by
+the propagation type that is in effect for the
+.I parent
+of the mount.
+.PP
+Members are added to a
+.I peer group
+when a mount is marked as shared and either:
+.IP (a) 5
+the mount is replicated during the creation of a new mount namespace; or
+.IP (b)
+a new bind mount is created from the mount.
+.PP
+In both of these cases, the new mount joins the peer group
+of which the existing mount is a member.
+.PP
+A new peer group is also created when a child mount is created under
+an existing mount that is marked as shared.
+In this case, the new child mount is also marked as shared and
+the resulting peer group consists of all the mounts
+that are replicated under the peers of parent mounts.
+.PP
+A mount ceases to be a member of a peer group when either
+the mount is explicitly unmounted,
+or when the mount is implicitly unmounted because a mount namespace is removed
+(because it has no more member processes).
+.PP
+The propagation type of the mounts in a mount namespace
+can be discovered via the "optional fields" exposed in
+.IR /proc/ pid /mountinfo .
+(See
+.BR proc (5)
+for details of this file.)
+The following tags can appear in the optional fields
+for a record in that file:
+.TP
+.I shared:X
+This mount is shared in peer group
+.IR X .
+Each peer group has a unique ID that is automatically
+generated by the kernel,
+and all mounts in the same peer group will show the same ID.
+(These IDs are assigned starting from the value 1,
+and may be recycled when a peer group ceases to have any members.)
+.TP
+.I master:X
+This mount is a slave to shared peer group
+.IR X .
+.TP
+.IR propagate_from:X " (since Linux 2.6.26)"
+.\" commit 97e7e0f71d6d948c25f11f0a33878d9356d9579e
+This mount is a slave and receives propagation from shared peer group
+.IR X .
+This tag will always appear in conjunction with a
+.I master:X

+Here,
+.I X
+is the closest dominant peer group under the process's root directory.
+If
+.I X
+is the immediate master of the mount,

+.SS MS_UNBINDABLE example
+One of the primary purposes of unbindable mounts is to avoid
+the "mount explosion" problem when repeatedly performing bind mounts
+of a higher-level subtree at a lower-level mount.
+The problem is illustrated by the following shell session.
+.PP
+Suppose we have a system with the following mounts:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+# \fBmount | awk \[aq]{print $1, $2, $3}\[aq]\fP
+/dev/sda1 on /

+/dev/sda1 on /home/cecilia
+/dev/sdb6 on /home/cecilia/mntX
+/dev/sdb7 on /home/cecilia/mntY
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+When we repeat this operation for the second user,
+we start to see the explosion problem:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX

+we have not only recursively added the
+.I /mntX
+and

+mounts, but also the recursive mounts of those directories under
+.I /home/cecilia
+that were created in the previous step.
+Upon repeating the step for a third user,
+it becomes obvious that the explosion is exponential in nature:

+.EE
+.in

+The mount explosion problem in the above scenario can be avoided
+by making each of the new mounts unbindable.
+The effect of doing this is that recursive mounts of the root
+directory will not replicate the unbindable mounts.
+We make such a mount for the first user:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+# \fBmount \-\-rbind \-\-make\-unbindable / /home/cecilia\fP

+# \fBmkdir /mntZ\fP
+# \fBmount \-\-bind /home/cecilia /mntZ\fP
+mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /home/cecilia,
+ missing codepage or helper program, or other error
+\&
+ In some cases useful info is found in syslog \- try

+Now we create unbindable recursive bind mounts for the other two users:

+# \fBmount \-\-rbind \-\-make\-unbindable / /home/otto\fP

+.PP
+Upon examining the list of mounts,

+.SS The /proc/ pid /mountinfo "propagate_from" tag
+The

+is not reachable from the (new) root directory of the process.
+.PP
+First, we bind mount the root directory onto

+.SH HISTORY
+Linux 2.4.19.
+.\"
+.SH NOTES
+The propagation type assigned to a new mount depends
+on the propagation type of the parent mount.
+If the mount has a parent (i.e., it is a non-root mount
+point) and the propagation type of the parent is
+.BR MS_SHARED ,
+then the propagation type of the new mount is also
+.BR MS_SHARED .
+Otherwise, the propagation type of the new mount is
+.BR MS_PRIVATE .
+.PP
+Notwithstanding the fact that the default propagation type
+for new mount is in many cases
+.BR MS_PRIVATE ,
+.B MS_SHARED
+is typically more useful.
+For this reason,
+.BR systemd (1)
+automatically remounts all mounts as
+.B MS_SHARED
+on system startup.
+Thus, on most modern systems, the default propagation type is in practice
+.BR MS_SHARED .
+.PP
+Since, when one uses
+.BR unshare (1)
+to create a mount namespace,
+the goal is commonly to provide full isolation of the mounts
+in the new namespace,
+.BR unshare (1)
+(since
+.I util\-linux
+2.27) in turn reverses the step performed by
+.BR systemd (1),
+by making all mounts private in the new namespace.
+That is,
+.BR unshare (1)
+performs the equivalent of the following in the new mount namespace:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+mount \-\-make\-rprivate /
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+To prevent this, one can use the
+.I \-\-propagation\~unchanged
+option to
+.BR unshare (1).
+.PP
+An application that creates a new mount namespace directly using
+.BR clone (2)
+or
+.BR unshare (2)
+may desire to prevent propagation of mount events to other mount namespaces
+(as is done by
+.BR unshare (1)).
+This can be done by changing the propagation type of
+mounts in the new namespace to either
+.B MS_SLAVE
+or
+.BR MS_PRIVATE ,
+using a call such as the following:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+mount(NULL, "/", MS_SLAVE | MS_REC, NULL);
+.EE

+.\" ============================================================
+.\"
+.SS Restrictions on mount namespaces
+Note the following points with respect to mount namespaces:
+.IP [1] 4
+Each mount namespace has an owner user namespace.
+As explained above, when a new mount namespace is created,
+its mount list is initialized as a copy of the mount list
+of another mount namespace.
+If the new namespace and the namespace from which the mount list
+was copied are owned by different user namespaces,
+then the new mount namespace is considered
+.IR "less privileged" .
+.IP [2]
+When creating a less privileged mount namespace,
+shared mounts are reduced to slave mounts.
+This ensures that mappings performed in less
+privileged mount namespaces will not propagate to more privileged
+mount namespaces.
+.IP [3]
+Mounts that come as a single unit from a more privileged mount namespace are
+locked together and may not be separated in a less privileged mount
+namespace.
+(The
+.BR unshare (2)
+.B CLONE_NEWNS
+operation brings across all of the mounts from the original
+mount namespace as a single unit,
+and recursive mounts that propagate between
+mount namespaces propagate as a single unit.)
+.IP
+In this context, "may not be separated" means that the mounts
+are locked so that they may not be individually unmounted.
+Consider the following example:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+$ \fBsudo sh\fP
+# \fBmount \-\-bind /dev/null /etc/shadow\fP
+# \fBcat /etc/shadow\fP # Produces no output
+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+The above steps, performed in a more privileged mount namespace,
+have created a bind mount that
+obscures the contents of the shadow password file,
+.IR /etc/shadow .
+For security reasons, it should not be possible to
+.BR umount (2)
+that mount in a less privileged mount namespace,
+since that would reveal the contents of
+.IR /etc/shadow .
+.IP
+Suppose we now create a new mount namespace
+owned by a new user namespace.
+The new mount namespace will inherit copies of all of the mounts
+from the previous mount namespace.
+However, those mounts will be locked because the new mount namespace
+is less privileged.
+Consequently, an attempt to
+.BR umount (2)
+the mount fails as show
+in the following step:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+# \fBunshare \-\-user \-\-map\-root\-user \-\-mount \e\fP
+ \fBstrace \-o /tmp/log \e\fP
+ \fBumount /mnt/dir\fP
+umount: /etc/shadow: not mounted.
+# \fBgrep \[aq]\[ha]umount\[aq] /tmp/log\fP
+umount2("/etc/shadow", 0) = \-1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+The error message from
+.BR mount (8)
+is a little confusing, but the
+.BR strace (1)
+output reveals that the underlying
+.BR umount2 (2)
+system call failed with the error
+.BR EINVAL ,
+which is the error that the kernel returns to indicate that
+the mount is locked.
+.IP
+Note, however, that it is possible to stack (and unstack) a
+mount on top of one of the inherited locked mounts in a
+less privileged mount namespace:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+# \fBecho \[aq]aaaaa\[aq] > /tmp/a\fP # File to mount onto /etc/shadow
+# \fBunshare \-\-user \-\-map\-root\-user \-\-mount \e\fP
+ \fBsh \-c \[aq]mount \-\-bind /tmp/a /etc/shadow; cat /etc/shadow\[aq]\fP
+aaaaa
+# \fBumount /etc/shadow\fP
+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+The final
+.BR umount (8)
+command above, which is performed in the initial mount namespace,
+makes the original
+.I /etc/shadow
+file once more visible in that namespace.
+.IP [4]
+Following on from point [3],
+note that it is possible to
+.BR umount (2)
+an entire subtree of mounts that
+propagated as a unit into a less privileged mount namespace,
+as illustrated in the following example.
+.IP
+First, we create new user and mount namespaces using
+.BR unshare (1).
+In the new mount namespace,
+the propagation type of all mounts is set to private.
+We then create a shared bind mount at
+.IR /mnt ,
+and a small hierarchy of mounts underneath that mount.
+.IP
+.in +4n

+.EE

+.IP
+Of note in the above output is that the propagation type of the mount
+.I /mnt
+has been reduced to slave, as explained in point [2].
+This means that submount events will propagate from the master

+in "ns1", but propagation will not occur in the opposite direction.
+.IP
+From a separate terminal window, we then use
+.BR nsenter (1)
+to enter the mount and user namespaces corresponding to "ns1".

+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+Because the propagation type of the parent mount,

+was shared, the recursive bind mount propagated a small subtree of

+as can be verified by executing the following command in that shell session:

+.SH NAME
+mq_overview \- overview of POSIX message queues
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+POSIX message queues allow processes to exchange data in
+the form of messages.
+This API is distinct from that provided by System V message queues
+.RB ( msgget (2),
+.BR msgsnd (2),
+.BR msgrcv (2),
+etc.), but provides similar functionality.
+.PP
+Message queues are created and opened using
+.BR mq_open (3);
+this function returns a
+.I message queue descriptor
+.RI ( mqd_t ),
+which is used to refer to the open message queue in later calls.
+Each message queue is identified by a name of the form
+.IR /somename ;
+that is, a null-terminated string of up to
+.B NAME_MAX
+(i.e., 255) characters consisting of an initial slash,
+followed by one or more characters, none of which are slashes.
+Two processes can operate on the same queue by passing the same name to
+.BR mq_open (3).
+.PP
+Messages are transferred to and from a queue using
+.BR mq_send (3)
+and
+.BR mq_receive (3).
+When a process has finished using the queue, it closes it using
+.BR mq_close (3),
+and when the queue is no longer required, it can be deleted using
+.BR mq_unlink (3).
+Queue attributes can be retrieved and (in some cases) modified using
+.BR mq_getattr (3)
+and
+.BR mq_setattr (3).
+A process can request asynchronous notification
+of the arrival of a message on a previously empty queue using
+.BR mq_notify (3).
+.PP
+A message queue descriptor is a reference to an
+.I "open message queue description"
+(see
+.BR open (2)).
+After a
+.BR fork (2),
+a child inherits copies of its parent's message queue descriptors,
+and these descriptors refer to the same open message queue descriptions
+as the corresponding message queue descriptors in the parent.
+Corresponding message queue descriptors in the two processes share the flags
+.RI ( mq_flags )
+that are associated with the open message queue description.
+.PP
+Each message has an associated
+.IR priority ,
+and messages are always delivered to the receiving process
+highest priority first.
+Message priorities range from 0 (low) to
+.I sysconf(_SC_MQ_PRIO_MAX)\ \-\ 1
+(high).
+On Linux,
+.I sysconf(_SC_MQ_PRIO_MAX)
+returns 32768, but POSIX.1 requires only that
+an implementation support at least priorities in the range 0 to 31;
+some implementations provide only this range.
+.PP
+The remainder of this section describes some specific details
+of the Linux implementation of POSIX message queues.
+.SS Library interfaces and system calls
+In most cases the
+.BR mq_* ()
+library interfaces listed above are implemented
+on top of underlying system calls of the same name.
+Deviations from this scheme are indicated in the following table:
+.RS
+.TS
+lB lB

+.SS Versions
+POSIX message queues have been supported since Linux 2.6.6.
+glibc support has been provided since glibc 2.3.4.
+.SS Kernel configuration
+Support for POSIX message queues is configurable via the
+.B CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE
+kernel configuration option.
+This option is enabled by default.
+.SS Persistence
+POSIX message queues have kernel persistence:
+if not removed by
+.BR mq_unlink (3),
+a message queue will exist until the system is shut down.
+.SS Linking
+Programs using the POSIX message queue API must be compiled with
+.I cc \-lrt
+to link against the real-time library,
+.IR librt .
+.SS /proc interfaces
+The following interfaces can be used to limit the amount of
+kernel memory consumed by POSIX message queues and to set
+the default attributes for new message queues:
+.TP
+.IR /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_default " (since Linux 3.5)"
+This file defines the value used for a new queue's
+.I mq_maxmsg
+setting when the queue is created with a call to
+.BR mq_open (3)
+where
+.I attr
+is specified as NULL.
+The default value for this file is 10.
+The minimum and maximum are as for
+.IR /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_max .
+A new queue's default
+.I mq_maxmsg
+value will be the smaller of
+.I msg_default
+and
+.IR msg_max .
+Before Linux 2.6.28, the default

+.SS Mounting the message queue filesystem
+On Linux, message queues are created in a virtual filesystem.

+After the filesystem has been mounted, the message queues on the system
+can be viewed and manipulated using the commands usually used for files
+(e.g.,
+.BR ls (1)
+and
+.BR rm (1)).
+.PP
+The contents of each file in the directory consist of a single line
+containing information about the queue:

+.EX
+.RB "$" " cat /dev/mqueue/mymq"
+QSIZE:129 NOTIFY:2 SIGNO:0 NOTIFY_PID:8260

+Notification method:

+2 is
+.BR SIGEV_THREAD .
+.TP
+.B SIGNO
+Signal number to be used for
+.BR SIGEV_SIGNAL .
+.SS Linux implementation of message queue descriptors
+On Linux, a message queue descriptor is actually a file descriptor.
+(POSIX does not require such an implementation.)
+This means that a message queue descriptor can be monitored using
+.BR select (2),
+.BR poll (2),
+or
+.BR epoll (7).
+This is not portable.
+.PP
+The close-on-exec flag (see
+.BR open (2))
+is automatically set on the file descriptor returned by
+.BR mq_open (2).
+.SS IPC namespaces
+For a discussion of the interaction of POSIX message queue objects and
+IPC namespaces, see
+.BR ipc_namespaces (7).
+.SH NOTES
+System V message queues
+.RB ( msgget (2),
+.BR msgsnd (2),
+.BR msgrcv (2),
+etc.) are an older API for exchanging messages between processes.
+POSIX message queues provide a better designed interface than
+System V message queues;
+on the other hand POSIX message queues are less widely available
+(especially on older systems) than System V message queues.
+.PP
+Linux does not currently (Linux 2.6.26) support the use of access control
+lists (ACLs) for POSIX message queues.
+.SH BUGS
+Since Linux 3.5 to Linux 3.14, the kernel imposed a ceiling of 1024
+.RB ( HARD_QUEUESMAX )
+on the value to which the
+.I queues_max
+limit could be raised,
+and the ceiling was enforced even for privileged processes.
+This ceiling value was removed in Linux 3.14,
+and patches to stable Linux 3.5.x to Linux 3.13.x also removed the ceiling.
+.PP
+As originally implemented (and documented),
+the QSIZE field displayed the total number of (user-supplied)
+bytes in all messages in the message queue.
+Some changes in Linux 3.5
+.\" commit d6629859b36d
+inadvertently changed the behavior,
+so that this field also included a count of kernel overhead bytes
+used to store the messages in the queue.
+This behavioral regression was rectified in Linux 4.2
+.\" commit de54b9ac253787c366bbfb28d901a31954eb3511
+(and earlier stable kernel series),
+so that the count once more included just the bytes of user data
+in messages in the queue.

+A namespace wraps a global system resource in an abstraction that
+makes it appear to the processes within the namespace that they
+have their own isolated instance of the global resource.
+Changes to the global resource are visible to other processes
+that are members of the namespace, but are invisible to other processes.
+One use of namespaces is to implement containers.
+.PP
+This page provides pointers to information on the various namespace types,
+describes the associated
+.I /proc
+files, and summarizes the APIs for working with namespaces.
+.\"
+.SS Namespace types
+The following table shows the namespace types available on Linux.
+The second column of the table shows the flag value that is used to specify
+the namespace type in various APIs.
+The third column identifies the manual page that provides details
+on the namespace type.
+The last column is a summary of the resources that are isolated by

+.\" ==================== The namespaces API ====================
+.\"
+.SS The namespaces API
+As well as various
+.I /proc
+files described below,
+the namespaces API includes the following system calls:
+.TP
+.BR clone (2)
+The
+.BR clone (2)
+system call creates a new process.
+If the
+.I flags
+argument of the call specifies one or more of the
+.B CLONE_NEW*
+flags listed above, then new namespaces are created for each flag,
+and the child process is made a member of those namespaces.
+(This system call also implements a number of features
+unrelated to namespaces.)
+.TP
+.BR setns (2)
+The
+.BR setns (2)
+system call allows the calling process to join an existing namespace.
+The namespace to join is specified via a file descriptor that refers to
+one of the
+.IR /proc/ pid /ns
+files described below.
+.TP
+.BR unshare (2)
+The
+.BR unshare (2)
+system call moves the calling process to a new namespace.
+If the
+.I flags
+argument of the call specifies one or more of the
+.B CLONE_NEW*
+flags listed above, then new namespaces are created for each flag,
+and the calling process is made a member of those namespaces.
+(This system call also implements a number of features
+unrelated to namespaces.)
+.TP
+.BR ioctl (2)
+Various
+.BR ioctl (2)
+operations can be used to discover information about namespaces.
+These operations are described in
+.BR ioctl_ns (2).
+.PP
+Creation of new namespaces using
+.BR clone (2)
+and
+.BR unshare (2)
+in most cases requires the
+.B CAP_SYS_ADMIN
+capability, since, in the new namespace,
+the creator will have the power to change global resources
+that are visible to other processes that are subsequently created in,
+or join the namespace.
+User namespaces are the exception: since Linux 3.8,
+no privilege is required to create a user namespace.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Netlink is used to transfer information between the kernel and
+user-space processes.
+It consists of a standard sockets-based interface for user space
+processes and an internal kernel API for kernel modules.
+The internal kernel interface is not documented in this manual page.
+There is also an obsolete netlink interface
+via netlink character devices; this interface is not documented here
+and is provided only for backward compatibility.
+.PP
+Netlink is a datagram-oriented service.
+Both
+.B SOCK_RAW
+and
+.B SOCK_DGRAM
+are valid values for
+.IR socket_type .
+However, the netlink protocol does not distinguish between datagram
+and raw sockets.

+.PP
+Netlink is not a reliable protocol.
+It tries its best to deliver a message to its destination(s),
+but may drop messages when an out-of-memory condition or
+other error occurs.
+For reliable transfer the sender can request an
+acknowledgement from the receiver by setting the
+.B NLM_F_ACK
+flag.
+An acknowledgement is an
+.B NLMSG_ERROR
+packet with the error field set to 0.
+The application must generate acknowledgements for
+received messages itself.
+The kernel tries to send an
+.B NLMSG_ERROR
+message for every failed packet.
+A user process should follow this convention too.
+.PP
+However, reliable transmissions from kernel to user are impossible
+in any case.
+The kernel can't send a netlink message if the socket buffer is full:
+the message will be dropped and the kernel and the user-space process will
+no longer have the same view of kernel state.
+It is up to the application to detect when this happens (via the
+.B ENOBUFS
+error returned by
+.BR recvmsg (2))
+and resynchronize.
+.SS Address formats
+The
+.I sockaddr_nl
+structure describes a netlink client in user space or in the kernel.
+A
+.I sockaddr_nl
+can be either unicast (only sent to one peer) or sent to
+netlink multicast groups
+.RI ( nl_groups
+not equal 0).
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct sockaddr_nl {
+ sa_family_t nl_family; /* AF_NETLINK */
+ unsigned short nl_pad; /* Zero */
+ pid_t nl_pid; /* Port ID */
+ __u32 nl_groups; /* Multicast groups mask */
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+.I nl_pid
+is the unicast address of netlink socket.
+It's always 0 if the destination is in the kernel.
+For a user-space process,
+.I nl_pid
+is usually the PID of the process owning the destination socket.
+However,
+.I nl_pid
+identifies a netlink socket, not a process.
+If a process owns several netlink
+sockets, then
+.I nl_pid
+can be equal to the process ID only for at most one socket.
+There are two ways to assign
+.I nl_pid
+to a netlink socket.
+If the application sets
+.I nl_pid
+before calling
+.BR bind (2),
+then it is up to the application to make sure that
+.I nl_pid
+is unique.
+If the application sets it to 0, the kernel takes care of assigning it.
+The kernel assigns the process ID to the first netlink socket the process
+opens and assigns a unique
+.I nl_pid
+to every netlink socket that the process subsequently creates.
+.PP
+.I nl_groups
+is a bit mask with every bit representing a netlink group number.
+Each netlink family has a set of 32 multicast groups.
+When
+.BR bind (2)
+is called on the socket, the
+.I nl_groups
+field in the
+.I sockaddr_nl
+should be set to a bit mask of the groups which it wishes to listen to.
+The default value for this field is zero which means that no multicasts
+will be received.
+A socket may multicast messages to any of the multicast groups by setting
+.I nl_groups
+to a bit mask of the groups it wishes to send to when it calls
+.BR sendmsg (2)
+or does a
+.BR connect (2).
+Only processes with an effective UID of 0 or the
+.B CAP_NET_ADMIN
+capability may send or listen to a netlink multicast group.
+Since Linux 2.6.13,
+.\" commit d629b836d151d43332492651dd841d32e57ebe3b
+messages can't be broadcast to multiple groups.
+Any replies to a message received for a multicast group should be
+sent back to the sending PID and the multicast group.
+Some Linux kernel subsystems may additionally allow other users
+to send and/or receive messages.
+As at Linux 3.0, the
+.BR NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT ,
+.BR NETLINK_GENERIC ,
+.BR NETLINK_ROUTE ,
+and
+.B NETLINK_SELINUX
+groups allow other users to receive messages.
+No groups allow other users to send messages.
+.SS Socket options
+To set or get a netlink socket option, call

+The kernel may fail to allocate the necessary room for the acknowledgement
+message back to user space.
+This option trims off the payload of the original netlink message.
+The netlink message header is still included, so the user can guess from the
+sequence number which message triggered the acknowledgement.
+.SH VERSIONS
+The socket interface to netlink first appeared Linux 2.2.
+.PP
+Linux 2.0 supported a more primitive device-based netlink interface
+(which is still available as a compatibility option).
+This obsolete interface is not described here.
+.SH NOTES
+It is often better to use netlink via
+.I libnetlink
+or
+.I libnl
+than via the low-level kernel interface.
+.SH BUGS
+This manual page is not complete.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The following example creates a
+.B NETLINK_ROUTE
+netlink socket which will listen to the
+.B RTMGRP_LINK
+(network interface create/delete/up/down events) and
+.B RTMGRP_IPV4_IFADDR
+(IPv4 addresses add/delete events) multicast groups.

+\&
+fd = socket(AF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_ROUTE);
+bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *) &sa, sizeof(sa));
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+The next example demonstrates how to send a netlink message to the
+kernel (pid 0).
+Note that the application must take care of message sequence numbers
+in order to reliably track acknowledgements.
+.PP
+.in +4n

+network_namespaces \- overview of Linux network namespaces
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Network namespaces provide isolation of the system resources associated
+with networking: network devices, IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks,
+IP routing tables, firewall rules, the
+.I /proc/net
+directory (which is a symbolic link to
+.IR /proc/ pid /net ),
+the
+.I /sys/class/net
+directory, various files under
+.IR /proc/sys/net ,
+port numbers (sockets), and so on.
+In addition,
+network namespaces isolate the UNIX domain abstract socket namespace (see
+.BR unix (7)).
+.PP
+A physical network device can live in exactly one
+network namespace.
+When a network namespace is freed
+(i.e., when the last process in the namespace terminates),
+its physical network devices are moved back to the
+initial network namespace
+(not to the namespace of the parent of the process).
+.PP
+A virtual network
+.RB ( veth (4))
+device pair provides a pipe-like abstraction
+that can be used to create tunnels between network namespaces,
+and can be used to create a bridge to a physical network device
+in another namespace.
+When a namespace is freed, the
+.BR veth (4)
+devices that it contains are destroyed.
+.PP
+Use of network namespaces requires a kernel that is configured with the
+.B CONFIG_NET_NS
+option.

+.SH NAME
+nptl \- Native POSIX Threads Library
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+NPTL (Native POSIX Threads Library)
+is the GNU C library POSIX threads implementation that is used on modern
+Linux systems.
+.\"
+.SS NPTL and signals
+NPTL makes internal use of the first two real-time signals
+(signal numbers 32 and 33).
+One of these signals is used to support thread cancelation and POSIX timers
+(see
+.BR timer_create (2));
+the other is used as part of a mechanism that ensures all threads in
+a process always have the same UIDs and GIDs, as required by POSIX.
+These signals cannot be used in applications.
+.PP
+To prevent accidental use of these signals in applications,
+which might interfere with the operation of the NPTL implementation,
+various glibc library functions and system call wrapper functions
+attempt to hide these signals from applications,
+as follows:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+.B SIGRTMIN
+is defined with the value 34 (rather than 32).
+.IP \[bu]
+The
+.BR sigwaitinfo (2),
+.BR sigtimedwait (2),
+and
+.BR sigwait (3)
+interfaces silently ignore requests to wait for these two signals
+if they are specified in the signal set argument of these calls.
+.IP \[bu]
+The
+.BR sigprocmask (2)
+and
+.BR pthread_sigmask (3)
+interfaces silently ignore attempts to block these two signals.
+.IP \[bu]
+The
+.BR sigaction (2),
+.BR pthread_kill (3),
+and
+.BR pthread_sigqueue (3)
+interfaces fail with the error
+.B EINVAL
+(indicating an invalid signal number) if these signals are specified.
+.IP \[bu]
+.BR sigfillset (3)
+does not include these two signals when it creates a full signal set.
+.\"
+.SS NPTL and process credential changes
+At the Linux kernel level,
+credentials (user and group IDs) are a per-thread attribute.
+However, POSIX requires that all of the POSIX threads in a process
+have the same credentials.
+To accommodate this requirement,
+the NPTL implementation wraps all of the system calls that
+change process credentials with functions that,
+in addition to invoking the underlying system call,
+arrange for all other threads in the process to also change their credentials.
+.PP
+The implementation of each of these system calls involves the use of
+a real-time signal that is sent (using
+.BR tgkill (2))
+to each of the other threads that must change its credentials.
+Before sending these signals, the thread that is changing credentials
+saves the new credential(s) and records the system call being employed
+in a global buffer.
+A signal handler in the receiving thread(s) fetches this information and
+then uses the same system call to change its credentials.
+.PP
+Wrapper functions employing this technique are provided for
+.BR setgid (2),
+.BR setuid (2),
+.BR setegid (2),
+.BR seteuid (2),
+.BR setregid (2),
+.BR setreuid (2),

+.BR setgroups (2).

+.SH NAME
+numa \- overview of Non-Uniform Memory Architecture
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) refers to multiprocessor systems
+whose memory is divided into multiple memory nodes.
+The access time of a memory node depends on
+the relative locations of the accessing CPU and the accessed node.
+(This contrasts with a symmetric multiprocessor system,
+where the access time for all of the memory is the same for all CPUs.)
+Normally, each CPU on a NUMA system has a local memory node whose
+contents can be accessed faster than the memory in
+the node local to another CPU
+or the memory on a bus shared by all CPUs.
+.SS NUMA system calls
+The Linux kernel implements the following NUMA-related system calls:
+.BR get_mempolicy (2),
+.BR mbind (2),
+.BR migrate_pages (2),
+.BR move_pages (2),
+and
+.BR set_mempolicy (2).
+However, applications should normally use the interface provided by
+.IR libnuma ;
+see "Library Support" below.
+.SS \fI/proc/\fPpid\fI/numa_maps\fP (since Linux 2.6.14)
+.\" See also Changelog-2.6.14
+This file displays information about a process's
+NUMA memory policy and allocation.
+.PP
+Each line contains information about a memory range used by the process,
+displaying\[em]among other information\[em]the effective memory policy for
+that memory range and on which nodes the pages have been allocated.
+.PP
+.I numa_maps
+is a read-only file.
+When
+.IR /proc/ pid /numa_maps
+is read, the kernel will scan the virtual address space of the
+process and report how memory is used.
+One line is displayed for each unique memory range of the process.
+.PP
+The first field of each line shows the starting address of the memory range.
+This field allows a correlation with the contents of the
+.IR /proc/ pid /maps
+file,
+which contains the end address of the range and other information,
+such as the access permissions and sharing.
+.PP
+The second field shows the memory policy currently in effect for the
+memory range.
+Note that the effective policy is not necessarily the policy
+installed by the process for that memory range.
+Specifically, if the process installed a "default" policy for that range,
+the effective policy for that range will be the process policy,
+which may or may not be "default".
+.PP
+The rest of the line contains information about the pages allocated in
+the memory range, as follows:
+.TP
+.I N<node>=<nr_pages>
+The number of pages allocated on
+.IR <node> .
+.I <nr_pages>
+includes only pages currently mapped by the process.
+Page migration and memory reclaim may have temporarily unmapped pages
+associated with this memory range.
+These pages may show up again only after the process has
+attempted to reference them.
+If the memory range represents a shared memory area or file mapping,
+other processes may currently have additional pages mapped in a
+corresponding memory range.
+.TP
+.I file=<filename>
+The file backing the memory range.
+If the file is mapped as private, write accesses may have generated
+COW (Copy-On-Write) pages in this memory range.
+These pages are displayed as anonymous pages.
+.TP
+.I heap
+Memory range is used for the heap.
+.TP
+.I stack
+Memory range is used for the stack.
+.TP
+.I huge
+Huge memory range.
+The page counts shown are huge pages and not regular sized pages.
+.TP
+.I anon=<pages>
+The number of anonymous page in the range.
+.TP
+.I dirty=<pages>
+Number of dirty pages.
+.TP
+.I mapped=<pages>
+Total number of mapped pages, if different from
+.I dirty
+and
+.I anon
+pages.
+.TP
+.I mapmax=<count>
+Maximum mapcount (number of processes mapping a single page) encountered
+during the scan.
+This may be used as an indicator of the degree of sharing occurring in a
+given memory range.
+.TP
+.I swapcache=<count>
+Number of pages that have an associated entry on a swap device.
+.TP
+.I active=<pages>
+The number of pages on the active list.
+This field is shown only if different from the number of pages in this range.
+This means that some inactive pages exist in the memory range that may be
+removed from memory by the swapper soon.
+.TP
+.I writeback=<pages>
+Number of pages that are currently being written out to disk.
+.SH STANDARDS
+None.
+.SH NOTES
+The Linux NUMA system calls and
+.I /proc
+interface are available only
+if the kernel was configured and built with the
+.B CONFIG_NUMA
+option.
+.SS Library support
+Link with \fI\-lnuma\fP
+to get the system call definitions.
+.I libnuma
+and the required
+.I <numaif.h>
+header are available in the
+.I numactl
+package.
+.PP
+However, applications should not use these system calls directly.
+Instead, the higher level interface provided by the

+.SH NAME
+packet \- packet interface on device level
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <sys/socket.h>
+.B #include <linux/if_packet.h>
+.B #include <net/ethernet.h> /* the L2 protocols */
+.PP
+.BI "packet_socket = socket(AF_PACKET, int " socket_type ", int "protocol );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Packet sockets are used to receive or send raw packets at the device driver
+(OSI Layer 2) level.
+They allow the user to implement protocol modules in user space
+on top of the physical layer.
+.PP
+The
+.I socket_type
+is either
+.B SOCK_RAW
+for raw packets including the link-level header or
+.B SOCK_DGRAM
+for cooked packets with the link-level header removed.
+The link-level header information is available in a common format in a
+.I sockaddr_ll
+structure.
+.I protocol
+is the IEEE 802.3 protocol number in network byte order.
+See the
+.I <linux/if_ether.h>
+include file for a list of allowed protocols.
+When protocol
+is set to
+.BR htons(ETH_P_ALL) ,
+then all protocols are received.
+All incoming packets of that protocol type will be passed to the packet
+socket before they are passed to the protocols implemented in the kernel.
+If
+.I protocol
+is set to zero,
+no packets are received.
+.BR bind (2)
+can optionally be called with a nonzero
+.I sll_protocol
+to start receiving packets for the protocols specified.
+.PP
+In order to create a packet socket, a process must have the
+.B CAP_NET_RAW
+capability in the user namespace that governs its network namespace.
+.PP
+.B SOCK_RAW
+packets are passed to and from the device driver without any changes in
+the packet data.
+When receiving a packet, the address is still parsed and
+passed in a standard
+.I sockaddr_ll
+address structure.
+When transmitting a packet, the user-supplied buffer
+should contain the physical-layer header.
+That packet is then
+queued unmodified to the network driver of the interface defined by the
+destination address.
+Some device drivers always add other headers.
+.B SOCK_RAW
+is similar to but not compatible with the obsolete
+.B AF_INET/SOCK_PACKET
+of Linux 2.0.
+.PP
+.B SOCK_DGRAM
+operates on a slightly higher level.
+The physical header is removed before the packet is passed to the user.
+Packets sent through a
+.B SOCK_DGRAM
+packet socket get a suitable physical-layer header based on the
+information in the
+.I sockaddr_ll
+destination address before they are queued.
+.PP
+By default, all packets of the specified protocol type
+are passed to a packet socket.
+To get packets only from a specific interface use
+.BR bind (2)
+specifying an address in a
+.I struct sockaddr_ll
+to bind the packet socket to an interface.
+Fields used for binding are
+.I sll_family
+(should be
+.BR AF_PACKET ),
+.IR sll_protocol ,
+and
+.IR sll_ifindex .
+.PP
+The
+.BR connect (2)
+operation is not supported on packet sockets.
+.PP
+When the
+.B MSG_TRUNC
+flag is passed to
+.BR recvmsg (2),
+.BR recv (2),
+or
+.BR recvfrom (2),
+the real length of the packet on the wire is always returned,
+even when it is longer than the buffer.
+.SS Address types
+The
+.I sockaddr_ll
+structure is a device-independent physical-layer address.
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct sockaddr_ll {
+ unsigned short sll_family; /* Always AF_PACKET */
+ unsigned short sll_protocol; /* Physical\-layer protocol */
+ int sll_ifindex; /* Interface number */
+ unsigned short sll_hatype; /* ARP hardware type */
+ unsigned char sll_pkttype; /* Packet type */
+ unsigned char sll_halen; /* Length of address */
+ unsigned char sll_addr[8]; /* Physical\-layer address */
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+The fields of this structure are as follows:
+.TP
+.I sll_protocol
+is the standard ethernet protocol type in network byte order as defined
+in the
+.I <linux/if_ether.h>
+include file.
+It defaults to the socket's protocol.
+.TP
+.I sll_ifindex
+is the interface index of the interface
+(see
+.BR netdevice (7));
+0 matches any interface (only permitted for binding).
+.I sll_hatype
+is an ARP type as defined in the
+.I <linux/if_arp.h>
+include file.
+.TP
+.I sll_pkttype
+contains the packet type.
+Valid types are
+.B PACKET_HOST
+for a packet addressed to the local host,
+.B PACKET_BROADCAST
+for a physical-layer broadcast packet,
+.B PACKET_MULTICAST
+for a packet sent to a physical-layer multicast address,
+.B PACKET_OTHERHOST
+for a packet to some other host that has been caught by a device driver
+in promiscuous mode, and
+.B PACKET_OUTGOING
+for a packet originating from the local host that is looped back to a packet
+socket.
+These types make sense only for receiving.
+.TP
+.I sll_addr
+.TQ
+.I sll_halen
+contain the physical-layer (e.g., IEEE 802.3) address and its length.
+The exact interpretation depends on the device.
+.PP
+When you send packets, it is enough to specify
+.IR sll_family ,
+.IR sll_addr ,
+.IR sll_halen ,
+.IR sll_ifindex ,

+.BR PACKET_FANOUT " (since Linux 3.1)"
+.\" commit dc99f600698dcac69b8f56dda9a8a00d645c5ffc
+To scale processing across threads, packet sockets can form a fanout
+group.
+In this mode, each matching packet is enqueued onto only one
+socket in the group.
+A socket joins a fanout group by calling
+.BR setsockopt (2)
+with level
+.B SOL_PACKET
+and option
+.BR PACKET_FANOUT .
+Each network namespace can have up to 65536 independent groups.
+A socket selects a group by encoding the ID in the first 16 bits of
+the integer option value.
+The first packet socket to join a group implicitly creates it.
+To successfully join an existing group, subsequent packet sockets
+must have the same protocol, device settings, fanout mode, and
+flags (see below).
+Packet sockets can leave a fanout group only by closing the socket.
+The group is deleted when the last socket is closed.
+.IP
+Fanout supports multiple algorithms to spread traffic between sockets,
+as follows:
+.RS
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The default mode,
+.BR PACKET_FANOUT_HASH ,
+sends packets from the same flow to the same socket to maintain
+per-flow ordering.
+For each packet, it chooses a socket by taking the packet flow hash
+modulo the number of sockets in the group, where a flow hash is a hash
+over network-layer address and optional transport-layer port fields.
+.IP \[bu]
+The load-balance mode
+.B PACKET_FANOUT_LB
+implements a round-robin algorithm.

+.B PACKET_FANOUT_CPU

+.IP \[bu]
+.B PACKET_FANOUT_ROLLOVER
+processes all data on a single socket, moving to the next when one
+becomes backlogged.
+.IP \[bu]
+.B PACKET_FANOUT_RND
+selects the socket using a pseudo-random number generator.

+selects the socket using the recorded queue_mapping of the received skb.
+.RE
+.IP
+Fanout modes can take additional options.
+IP fragmentation causes packets from the same flow to have different
+flow hashes.
+The flag
+.BR PACKET_FANOUT_FLAG_DEFRAG ,
+if set, causes packets to be defragmented before fanout is applied, to
+preserve order even in this case.
+Fanout mode and options are communicated in the second 16 bits of the
+integer option value.
+The flag
+.B PACKET_FANOUT_FLAG_ROLLOVER
+enables the roll over mechanism as a backup strategy: if the
+original fanout algorithm selects a backlogged socket, the packet
+rolls over to the next available one.
+.TP
+.BR PACKET_LOSS " (with " PACKET_TX_RING )

+being sent.

+Each packet is preceded by a metadata structure similar to

+then
+.I tp_mac
+is the same.
+If it is of type
+.BR SOCK_RAW ,
+then that field stores the offset to the link-layer frame.
+Packet socket and application communicate the head and tail of the ring
+through the
+.I tp_status
+field.
+The packet socket owns all slots with
+.I tp_status
+equal to
+.BR TP_STATUS_KERNEL .
+After filling a slot, it changes the status of the slot to transfer
+ownership to the application.
+During normal operation, the new
+.I tp_status
+value has at least the
+.B TP_STATUS_USER
+bit set to signal that a received packet has been stored.
+When the application has finished processing a packet, it transfers
+ownership of the slot back to the socket by setting

+.SH VERSIONS
+.B AF_PACKET
+is a new feature in Linux 2.2.
+Earlier Linux versions supported only
+.BR SOCK_PACKET .
+.SH NOTES
+For portable programs it is suggested to use
+.B AF_PACKET
+via
+.BR pcap (3);
+although this covers only a subset of the
+.B AF_PACKET
+features.
+.PP
+The
+.B SOCK_DGRAM
+packet sockets make no attempt to create or parse the IEEE 802.2 LLC
+header for a IEEE 802.3 frame.
+When
+.B ETH_P_802_3
+is specified as protocol for sending the kernel creates the
+802.3 frame and fills out the length field; the user has to supply the LLC
+header to get a fully conforming packet.
+Incoming 802.3 packets are not multiplexed on the DSAP/SSAP protocol
+fields; instead they are supplied to the user as protocol
+.B ETH_P_802_2
+with the LLC header prefixed.
+It is thus not possible to bind to
+.BR ETH_P_802_3 ;
+bind to
+.B ETH_P_802_2
+instead and do the protocol multiplex yourself.
+The default for sending is the standard Ethernet DIX
+encapsulation with the protocol filled in.
+.PP
+Packet sockets are not subject to the input or output firewall chains.
+.SS Compatibility
+In Linux 2.0, the only way to get a packet socket was with the call:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+socket(AF_INET, SOCK_PACKET, protocol)
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+This is still supported, but deprecated and strongly discouraged.
+The main difference between the two methods is that
+.B SOCK_PACKET
+uses the old
+.I struct sockaddr_pkt
+to specify an interface, which doesn't provide physical-layer
+independence.
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct sockaddr_pkt {
+ unsigned short spkt_family;
+ unsigned char spkt_device[14];
+ unsigned short spkt_protocol;
+};
+.EE

+.PP
+.I spkt_family
+contains
+the device type,
+.I spkt_protocol
+is the IEEE 802.3 protocol type as defined in
+.I <sys/if_ether.h>
+and
+.I spkt_device
+is the device name as a null-terminated string, for example, eth0.
+.PP
+This structure is obsolete and should not be used in new code.
+.SH BUGS
+.SS LLC header handling
+The IEEE 802.2/803.3 LLC handling could be considered as a bug.
+.SS MSG_TRUNC issues
+The
+.B MSG_TRUNC
+.BR recvmsg (2)
+extension is an ugly hack and should be replaced by a control message.
+There is currently no way to get the original destination address of
+packets via
+.BR SOCK_DGRAM .
+.SS spkt_device device name truncation
+The
+.I spkt_device
+field of
+.I sockaddr_pkt
+has a size of 14 bytes,
+which is less than the constant
+.B IFNAMSIZ
+defined in
+.I <net/if.h>
+which is 16 bytes and describes the system limit for a network interface name.
+This means the names of network devices longer than 14 bytes
+will be truncated to fit into
+.IR spkt_device .
+All these lengths include the terminating null byte (\[aq]\e0\[aq])).
+.PP
+Issues from this with old code typically show up with
+very long interface names used by the
+.B Predictable Network Interface Names
+feature enabled by default in many modern Linux distributions.
+.PP
+The preferred solution is to rewrite code to avoid
+.BR SOCK_PACKET .
+Possible user solutions are to disable
+.B Predictable Network Interface Names
+or to rename the interface to a name of at most 13 bytes,
+for example using the
+.BR ip (8)
+tool.

+.SH NAME
+path_resolution \- how a pathname is resolved to a file
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Some UNIX/Linux system calls have as parameter one or more filenames.
+A filename (or pathname) is resolved as follows.
+.SS Step 1: start of the resolution process
+If the pathname starts with the \[aq]/\[aq] character, the starting lookup
+directory is the root directory of the calling process.
+A process inherits its root directory from its parent.
+Usually this will be the root directory of the file hierarchy.
+A process may get a different root directory by use of the
+.BR chroot (2)
+system call, or may temporarily use a different root directory by using
+.BR openat2 (2)
+with the
+.B RESOLVE_IN_ROOT
+flag set.
+.PP
+A process may get an entirely private mount namespace in case
+it\[em]or one of its ancestors\[em]was started by an invocation of the
+.BR clone (2)
+system call that had the
+.B CLONE_NEWNS
+flag set.
+This handles the \[aq]/\[aq] part of the pathname.
+.PP
+If the pathname does not start with the \[aq]/\[aq] character, the starting
+lookup directory of the resolution process is the current working directory of
+the process \[em] or in the case of
+.BR openat (2)-style
+system calls, the
+.I dfd
+argument (or the current working directory if
+.B AT_FDCWD
+is passed as the
+.I dfd
+argument).
+The current working directory is inherited from the parent, and can
+be changed by use of the
+.BR chdir (2)
+system call.
+.PP
+Pathnames starting with a \[aq]/\[aq] character are called absolute pathnames.
+Pathnames not starting with a \[aq]/\[aq] are called relative pathnames.
+.SS Step 2: walk along the path
+Set the current lookup directory to the starting lookup directory.
+Now, for each nonfinal component of the pathname, where a component
+is a substring delimited by \[aq]/\[aq] characters, this component is looked up
+in the current lookup directory.
+.PP
+If the process does not have search permission on
+the current lookup directory,
+an
+.B EACCES
+error is returned ("Permission denied").
+.PP
+If the component is not found, an
+.B ENOENT
+error is returned
+("No such file or directory").
+.PP
+If the component is found, but is neither a directory nor a symbolic link,
+an
+.B ENOTDIR
+error is returned ("Not a directory").
+.PP
+If the component is found and is a directory, we set the
+current lookup directory to that directory, and go to the
+next component.
+.PP
+If the component is found and is a symbolic link,
+we first resolve this symbolic link
+(with the current lookup directory
+as starting lookup directory).
+Upon error, that error is returned.
+If the result is not a directory, an
+.B ENOTDIR
+error is returned.
+If the resolution of the symbolic link is successful and returns a directory,
+we set the current lookup directory to that directory, and go to
+the next component.
+Note that the resolution process here can involve recursion if the
+prefix ('dirname') component of a pathname contains a filename
+that is a symbolic link that resolves to a directory (where the
+prefix component of that directory may contain a symbolic link, and so on).
+In order to protect the kernel against stack overflow, and also
+to protect against denial of service, there are limits on the
+maximum recursion depth, and on the maximum number of symbolic links
+followed.
+An
+.B ELOOP
+error is returned when the maximum is
+exceeded ("Too many levels of symbolic links").
+.PP
+.\"
+.\" presently: max recursion depth during symlink resolution: 5
+.\" max total number of symbolic links followed: 40
+.\" _POSIX_SYMLOOP_MAX is 8
+As currently implemented on Linux, the maximum number
+.\" MAXSYMLINKS is 40
+of symbolic links that will be followed while resolving a pathname is 40.
+Before Linux 2.6.18, the limit on the recursion depth was 5.
+Starting with Linux 2.6.18, this limit
+.\" MAX_NESTED_LINKS
+was raised to 8.
+In Linux 4.2,
+.\" commit 894bc8c4662ba9daceafe943a5ba0dd407da5cd3
+the kernel's pathname-resolution code
+was reworked to eliminate the use of recursion,
+so that the only limit that remains is the maximum of 40
+resolutions for the entire pathname.
+.PP
+The resolution of symbolic links during this stage can be blocked by using
+.BR openat2 (2),
+with the
+.B RESOLVE_NO_SYMLINKS
+flag set.
+.SS Step 3: find the final entry
+The lookup of the final component of the pathname goes just like
+that of all other components, as described in the previous step,
+with two differences: (i) the final component need not be a
+directory (at least as far as the path resolution process is
+concerned\[em]it may have to be a directory, or a nondirectory, because of
+the requirements of the specific system call), and (ii) it
+is not necessarily an error if the component is not found\[em]maybe
+we are just creating it.
+The details on the treatment
+of the final entry are described in the manual pages of the specific
+system calls.
+.SS . and ..
+By convention, every directory has the entries "." and "..",
+which refer to the directory itself and to its parent directory,
+respectively.
+.PP
+The path resolution process will assume that these entries have
+their conventional meanings, regardless of whether they are
+actually present in the physical filesystem.
+.PP
+One cannot walk up past the root: "/.." is the same as "/".
+.SS Mount points
+After a
+.I mount dev path
+command, the pathname "path" refers to
+the root of the filesystem hierarchy on the device "dev", and no
+longer to whatever it referred to earlier.
+.PP
+One can walk out of a mounted filesystem: "path/.." refers to
+the parent directory of "path",
+outside of the filesystem hierarchy on "dev".
+.PP
+Traversal of mount points can be blocked by using
+.BR openat2 (2),
+with the
+.B RESOLVE_NO_XDEV
+flag set (though note that this also restricts bind mount traversal).
+.SS Trailing slashes
+If a pathname ends in a \[aq]/\[aq], that forces resolution of the preceding
+component as in Step 2:
+the component preceding the slash either exists and resolves to a directory
+or it names a directory that is to be created
+immediately after the pathname is resolved.
+Otherwise, a trailing \[aq]/\[aq] is ignored.
+.SS Final symbolic link
+If the last component of a pathname is a symbolic link, then it
+depends on the system call whether the file referred to will be
+the symbolic link or the result of path resolution on its contents.
+For example, the system call
+.BR lstat (2)
+will operate on the symbolic link,
+while
+.BR stat (2)
+operates on the file pointed to by the symbolic link.
+.SS Length limit
+There is a maximum length for pathnames.
+If the pathname (or some
+intermediate pathname obtained while resolving symbolic links)
+is too long, an
+.B ENAMETOOLONG
+error is returned ("Filename too long").
+.SS Empty pathname
+In the original UNIX, the empty pathname referred to the current directory.
+Nowadays POSIX decrees that an empty pathname must not be resolved
+successfully.
+Linux returns
+.B ENOENT
+in this case.
+.SS Permissions
+The permission bits of a file consist of three groups of three bits; see
+.BR chmod (1)
+and
+.BR stat (2).
+The first group of three is used when the effective user ID of
+the calling process equals the owner ID of the file.
+The second group
+of three is used when the group ID of the file either equals the
+effective group ID of the calling process, or is one of the
+supplementary group IDs of the calling process (as set by
+.BR setgroups (2)).
+When neither holds, the third group is used.
+.PP
+Of the three bits used, the first bit determines read permission,
+the second write permission, and the last execute permission
+in case of ordinary files, or search permission in case of directories.
+.PP
+Linux uses the fsuid instead of the effective user ID in permission checks.
+Ordinarily the fsuid will equal the effective user ID, but the fsuid can be
+changed by the system call
+.BR setfsuid (2).
+.PP
+(Here "fsuid" stands for something like "filesystem user ID".
+The concept was required for the implementation of a user space
+NFS server at a time when processes could send a signal to a process
+with the same effective user ID.
+It is obsolete now.
+Nobody should use
+.BR setfsuid (2).)
+.PP
+Similarly, Linux uses the fsgid ("filesystem group ID")
+instead of the effective group ID.
+See
+.BR setfsgid (2).
+.\" FIXME . say something about filesystem mounted read-only ?
+.SS Bypassing permission checks: superuser and capabilities
+On a traditional UNIX system, the superuser
+.RI ( root ,
+user ID 0) is all-powerful, and bypasses all permissions restrictions
+when accessing files.
+.\" (but for exec at least one x bit must be set) -- AEB
+.\" but there is variation across systems on this point: for
+.\" example, HP-UX and Tru64 are as described by AEB. However,
+.\" on some implementations (e.g., Solaris, FreeBSD),
+.\" access(X_OK) by superuser will report success, regardless
+.\" of the file's execute permission bits. -- MTK (Oct 05)
+.PP
+On Linux, superuser privileges are divided into capabilities (see
+.BR capabilities (7)).
+Two capabilities are relevant for file permissions checks:
+.B CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE
+and
+.BR CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH .
+(A process has these capabilities if its fsuid is 0.)
+.PP
+The
+.B CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE
+capability overrides all permission checking,
+but grants execute permission only when at least one
+of the file's three execute permission bits is set.
+.PP
+The
+.B CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH

+.SH NAME
+persistent-keyring \- per-user persistent keyring
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The persistent keyring is a keyring used to anchor keys on behalf of a user.
+Each UID the kernel deals with has its own persistent keyring that
+is shared between all threads owned by that UID.
+The persistent keyring has a name (description) of the form
+.I _persistent.<UID>
+where
+.I <UID>
+is the user ID of the corresponding user.
+.PP
+The persistent keyring may not be accessed directly,
+even by processes with the appropriate UID.
+.\" FIXME The meaning of the preceding sentence isn't clear. What is meant?
+Instead, it must first be linked to one of a process's keyrings,
+before that keyring can access the persistent keyring
+by virtue of its possessor permits.
+This linking is done with the
+.BR keyctl_get_persistent (3)
+function.
+.PP
+If a persistent keyring does not exist when it is accessed by the
+.BR keyctl_get_persistent (3)
+operation, it will be automatically created.
+.PP
+Each time the
+.BR keyctl_get_persistent (3)
+operation is performed,
+the persistent keyring's expiration timer is reset to the value in:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+/proc/sys/kernel/keys/persistent_keyring_expiry
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+Should the timeout be reached,
+the persistent keyring will be removed and
+everything it pins can then be garbage collected.
+The keyring will then be re-created on a subsequent call to
+.BR keyctl_get_persistent (3).
+.PP
+The persistent keyring is not directly searched by
+.BR request_key (2);
+it is searched only if it is linked into one of the keyrings
+that is searched by
+.BR request_key (2).
+.PP
+The persistent keyring is independent of
+.BR clone (2),
+.BR fork (2),
+.BR vfork (2),
+.BR execve (2),
+and
+.BR _exit (2).
+It persists until its expiration timer triggers,
+at which point it is garbage collected.
+This allows the persistent keyring to carry keys beyond the life of
+the kernel's record of the corresponding UID
+(the destruction of which results in the destruction of the
+.BR user\-keyring (7)
+and the
+.BR user\-session\-keyring (7)).
+The persistent keyring can thus be used to
+hold authentication tokens for processes that run without user interaction,
+such as programs started by
+.BR cron (8).
+.PP
+The persistent keyring is used to store UID-specific objects that
+themselves have limited lifetimes (e.g., kerberos tokens).
+If those tokens cease to be used
+(i.e., the persistent keyring is not accessed),
+then the timeout of the persistent keyring ensures that
+the corresponding objects are automatically discarded.
+.\"
+.SS Special operations
+The
+.I keyutils
+library provides the
+.BR keyctl_get_persistent (3)
+function for manipulating persistent keyrings.
+(This function is an interface to the
+.BR keyctl (2)
+.B KEYCTL_GET_PERSISTENT
+operation.)
+This operation allows the calling thread to get the persistent keyring
+corresponding to its own UID or, if the thread has the
+.B CAP_SETUID
+capability, the persistent keyring corresponding to some other UID
+in the same user namespace.
+.SH NOTES
+Each user namespace owns a keyring called
+.I .persistent_register
+that contains links to all of the persistent keys in that namespace.
+(The
+.I .persistent_register
+keyring can be seen when reading the contents of the
+.I /proc/keys
+file for the UID 0 in the namespace.)
+The
+.BR keyctl_get_persistent (3)
+operation looks for a key with a name of the form
+.IR _persistent. UID
+in that keyring,
+creates the key if it does not exist, and links it into the keyring.

+.SH NAME
+pid_namespaces \- overview of Linux PID namespaces
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+For an overview of namespaces, see
+.BR namespaces (7).
+.PP
+PID namespaces isolate the process ID number space,
+meaning that processes in different PID namespaces can have the same PID.
+PID namespaces allow containers to provide functionality
+such as suspending/resuming the set of processes in the container and
+migrating the container to a new host
+while the processes inside the container maintain the same PIDs.
+.PP
+PIDs in a new PID namespace start at 1,
+somewhat like a standalone system, and calls to
+.BR fork (2),
+.BR vfork (2),
+or
+.BR clone (2)
+will produce processes with PIDs that are unique within the namespace.
+.PP
+Use of PID namespaces requires a kernel that is configured with the
+.B CONFIG_PID_NS
+option.
+.\"
+.\" ============================================================
+.\"
+.SS The namespace "init" process
+The first process created in a new namespace
+(i.e., the process created using
+.BR clone (2)
+with the
+.B CLONE_NEWPID
+flag, or the first child created by a process after a call to
+.BR unshare (2)
+using the
+.B CLONE_NEWPID
+flag) has the PID 1, and is the "init" process for the namespace (see
+.BR init (1)).
+This process becomes the parent of any child processes that are orphaned
+because a process that resides in this PID namespace terminated
+(see below for further details).
+.PP
+If the "init" process of a PID namespace terminates,
+the kernel terminates all of the processes in the namespace via a
+.B SIGKILL
+signal.
+This behavior reflects the fact that the "init" process
+is essential for the correct operation of a PID namespace.
+In this case, a subsequent
+.BR fork (2)
+into this PID namespace fail with the error
+.BR ENOMEM ;
+it is not possible to create a new process in a PID namespace whose "init"
+process has terminated.
+Such scenarios can occur when, for example,
+a process uses an open file descriptor for a
+.IR /proc/ pid /ns/pid
+file corresponding to a process that was in a namespace to
+.BR setns (2)
+into that namespace after the "init" process has terminated.
+Another possible scenario can occur after a call to
+.BR unshare (2):
+if the first child subsequently created by a
+.BR fork (2)
+terminates, then subsequent calls to
+.BR fork (2)
+fail with
+.BR ENOMEM .
+.PP
+Only signals for which the "init" process has established a signal handler
+can be sent to the "init" process by other members of the PID namespace.
+This restriction applies even to privileged processes,
+and prevents other members of the PID namespace from
+accidentally killing the "init" process.
+.PP
+Likewise, a process in an ancestor namespace
+can\[em]subject to the usual permission checks described in
+.BR kill (2)\[em]send
+signals to the "init" process of a child PID namespace only
+if the "init" process has established a handler for that signal.
+(Within the handler, the
+.I siginfo_t
+.I si_pid
+field described in
+.BR sigaction (2)
+will be zero.)
+.B SIGKILL
+or
+.B SIGSTOP
+are treated exceptionally:
+these signals are forcibly delivered when sent from an ancestor PID namespace.
+Neither of these signals can be caught by the "init" process,
+and so will result in the usual actions associated with those signals
+(respectively, terminating and stopping the process).
+.PP
+Starting with Linux 3.4, the
+.BR reboot (2)
+system call causes a signal to be sent to the namespace "init" process.
+See
+.BR reboot (2)
+for more details.
+.\"
+.\" ============================================================
+.\"
+.SS Nesting PID namespaces
+PID namespaces can be nested:
+each PID namespace has a parent,
+except for the initial ("root") PID namespace.
+The parent of a PID namespace is the PID namespace of the process that
+created the namespace using
+.BR clone (2)
+or
+.BR unshare (2).
+PID namespaces thus form a tree,
+with all namespaces ultimately tracing their ancestry to the root namespace.
+Since Linux 3.7,
+.\" commit f2302505775fd13ba93f034206f1e2a587017929
+.\" The kernel constant MAX_PID_NS_LEVEL
+the kernel limits the maximum nesting depth for PID namespaces to 32.
+.PP
+A process is visible to other processes in its PID namespace,
+and to the processes in each direct ancestor PID namespace
+going back to the root PID namespace.
+In this context, "visible" means that one process
+can be the target of operations by another process using
+system calls that specify a process ID.
+Conversely, the processes in a child PID namespace can't see
+processes in the parent and further removed ancestor namespaces.
+More succinctly: a process can see (e.g., send signals with
+.BR kill (2),
+set nice values with
+.BR setpriority (2),
+etc.) only processes contained in its own PID namespace
+and in descendants of that namespace.
+.PP
+A process has one process ID in each of the layers of the PID
+namespace hierarchy in which is visible,
+and walking back though each direct ancestor namespace
+through to the root PID namespace.
+System calls that operate on process IDs always
+operate using the process ID that is visible in the
+PID namespace of the caller.
+A call to
+.BR getpid (2)
+always returns the PID associated with the namespace in which
+the process was created.
+.PP
+Some processes in a PID namespace may have parents
+that are outside of the namespace.
+For example, the parent of the initial process in the namespace
+(i.e., the
+.BR init (1)
+process with PID 1) is necessarily in another namespace.
+Likewise, the direct children of a process that uses
+.BR setns (2)
+to cause its children to join a PID namespace are in a different
+PID namespace from the caller of
+.BR setns (2).
+Calls to
+.BR getppid (2)
+for such processes return 0.
+.PP
+While processes may freely descend into child PID namespaces
+(e.g., using
+.BR setns (2)
+with a PID namespace file descriptor),
+they may not move in the other direction.
+That is to say, processes may not enter any ancestor namespaces
+(parent, grandparent, etc.).
+Changing PID namespaces is a one-way operation.
+.PP
+The
+.B NS_GET_PARENT
+.BR ioctl (2)
+operation can be used to discover the parental relationship
+between PID namespaces; see
+.BR ioctl_ns (2).
+.\"
+.\" ============================================================
+.\"
+.SS setns(2) and unshare(2) semantics
+Calls to
+.BR setns (2)
+that specify a PID namespace file descriptor
+and calls to
+.BR unshare (2)
+with the
+.B CLONE_NEWPID
+flag cause children subsequently created
+by the caller to be placed in a different PID namespace from the caller.
+(Since Linux 4.12, that PID namespace is shown via the
+.IR /proc/ pid /ns/pid_for_children
+file, as described in
+.BR namespaces (7).)
+These calls do not, however,
+change the PID namespace of the calling process,
+because doing so would change the caller's idea of its own PID
+(as reported by
+.BR getpid ()),
+which would break many applications and libraries.
+.PP
+To put things another way:
+a process's PID namespace membership is determined when the process is created
+and cannot be changed thereafter.
+Among other things, this means that the parental relationship
+between processes mirrors the parental relationship between PID namespaces:
+the parent of a process is either in the same namespace
+or resides in the immediate parent PID namespace.
+.PP
+A process may call
+.BR unshare (2)
+with the
+.B CLONE_NEWPID
+flag only once.
+After it has performed this operation, its
+.IR /proc/ pid /ns/pid_for_children
+symbolic link will be empty until the first child is created in the namespace.
+.\"
+.\" ============================================================
+.\"
+.SS Adoption of orphaned children
+When a child process becomes orphaned, it is reparented to the "init"
+process in the PID namespace of its parent
+(unless one of the nearer ancestors of the parent employed the
+.BR prctl (2)
+.B PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER
+command to mark itself as the reaper of orphaned descendant processes).
+Note that because of the
+.BR setns (2)
+and
+.BR unshare (2)
+semantics described above, this may be the "init" process in the PID
+namespace that is the
+.I parent
+of the child's PID namespace,
+rather than the "init" process in the child's own PID namespace.
+.\" Furthermore, by definition, the parent of the "init" process
+.\" of a PID namespace resides in the parent PID namespace.
+.\"
+.\" ============================================================
+.\"
+.SS Compatibility of CLONE_NEWPID with other CLONE_* flags
+In current versions of Linux,
+.B CLONE_NEWPID
+can't be combined with
+.BR CLONE_THREAD .
+Threads are required to be in the same PID namespace such that
+the threads in a process can send signals to each other.
+Similarly, it must be possible to see all of the threads
+of a process in the
+.BR proc (5)
+filesystem.
+Additionally, if two threads were in different PID
+namespaces, the process ID of the process sending a signal
+could not be meaningfully encoded when a signal is sent
+(see the description of the
+.I siginfo_t
+type in
+.BR sigaction (2)).
+Since this is computed when a signal is enqueued,
+a signal queue shared by processes in multiple PID namespaces
+would defeat that.
+.PP
+.\" Note these restrictions were all introduced in
+.\" 8382fcac1b813ad0a4e68a838fc7ae93fa39eda0
+.\" when CLONE_NEWPID|CLONE_VM was disallowed
+In earlier versions of Linux,
+.B CLONE_NEWPID
+was additionally disallowed (failing with the error
+.BR EINVAL )
+in combination with
+.B CLONE_SIGHAND
+.\" (restriction lifted in faf00da544045fdc1454f3b9e6d7f65c841de302)

+.\" (restriction lifted in e79f525e99b04390ca4d2366309545a836c03bf1)
+.B CLONE_VM
+(before Linux 3.12).
+The changes that lifted these restrictions have also been ported to
+earlier stable kernels.
+.\"
+.\" ============================================================
+.\"
+.SS /proc and PID namespaces
+A
+.I /proc
+filesystem shows (in the
+.IR /proc/ pid
+directories) only processes visible in the PID namespace
+of the process that performed the mount, even if the
+.I /proc
+filesystem is viewed from processes in other namespaces.
+.PP
+After creating a new PID namespace,
+it is useful for the child to change its root directory
+and mount a new procfs instance at
+.I /proc
+so that tools such as
+.BR ps (1)
+work correctly.
+If a new mount namespace is simultaneously created by including
+.B CLONE_NEWNS
+in the
+.I flags
+argument of
+.BR clone (2)
+or
+.BR unshare (2),
+then it isn't necessary to change the root directory:
+a new procfs instance can be mounted directly over
+.IR /proc .
+.PP
+From a shell, the command to mount
+.I /proc
+is:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+$ mount \-t proc proc /proc
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+Calling
+.BR readlink (2)
+on the path
+.I /proc/self
+yields the process ID of the caller in the PID namespace of the procfs mount
+(i.e., the PID namespace of the process that mounted the procfs).
+This can be useful for introspection purposes,
+when a process wants to discover its PID in other namespaces.

+.TH pipe 7 2023-07-16 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+pipe \- overview of pipes and FIFOs
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pipes and FIFOs (also known as named pipes)
+provide a unidirectional interprocess communication channel.
+A pipe has a
+.I read end
+and a
+.IR "write end" .
+Data written to the write end of a pipe can be read
+from the read end of the pipe.
+.PP
+A pipe is created using
+.BR pipe (2),
+which creates a new pipe and returns two file descriptors,
+one referring to the read end of the pipe,
+the other referring to the write end.
+Pipes can be used to create a communication channel between related
+processes; see
+.BR pipe (2)
+for an example.
+.PP
+A FIFO (short for First In First Out) has a name within the filesystem
+(created using
+.BR mkfifo (3)),
+and is opened using
+.BR open (2).
+Any process may open a FIFO, assuming the file permissions allow it.
+The read end is opened using the
+.B O_RDONLY
+flag; the write end is opened using the
+.B O_WRONLY
+flag.
+See
+.BR fifo (7)
+for further details.
+.IR Note :
+although FIFOs have a pathname in the filesystem,
+I/O on FIFOs does not involve operations on the underlying device
+(if there is one).
+.SS I/O on pipes and FIFOs
+The only difference between pipes and FIFOs is the manner in which
+they are created and opened.
+Once these tasks have been accomplished,
+I/O on pipes and FIFOs has exactly the same semantics.
+.PP
+If a process attempts to read from an empty pipe, then
+.BR read (2)
+will block until data is available.
+If a process attempts to write to a full pipe (see below), then
+.BR write (2)
+blocks until sufficient data has been read from the pipe
+to allow the write to complete.
+.PP
+Nonblocking I/O is possible by using the
+.BR fcntl (2)
+.B F_SETFL
+operation to enable the
+.B O_NONBLOCK
+open file status flag or by opening a
+.BR fifo (7)
+with
+.BR O_NONBLOCK .
+If any process has the pipe open for writing, reads fail with
+.BR EAGAIN ;
+otherwise\[em]with no potential writers\[em]reads succeed and return empty.
+.PP
+The communication channel provided by a pipe is a
+.IR "byte stream" :
+there is no concept of message boundaries.
+.PP
+If all file descriptors referring to the write end of a pipe
+have been closed, then an attempt to
+.BR read (2)
+from the pipe will see end-of-file
+.RB ( read (2)
+will return 0).
+If all file descriptors referring to the read end of a pipe
+have been closed, then a
+.BR write (2)
+will cause a
+.B SIGPIPE
+signal to be generated for the calling process.
+If the calling process is ignoring this signal, then
+.BR write (2)
+fails with the error
+.BR EPIPE .
+An application that uses
+.BR pipe (2)
+and
+.BR fork (2)
+should use suitable
+.BR close (2)
+calls to close unnecessary duplicate file descriptors;
+this ensures that end-of-file and
+.BR SIGPIPE / EPIPE
+are delivered when appropriate.
+.PP
+It is not possible to apply
+.BR lseek (2)
+to a pipe.
+.SS Pipe capacity
+A pipe has a limited capacity.
+If the pipe is full, then a
+.BR write (2)
+will block or fail, depending on whether the
+.B O_NONBLOCK
+flag is set (see below).
+Different implementations have different limits for the pipe capacity.
+Applications should not rely on a particular capacity:
+an application should be designed so that a reading process consumes data
+as soon as it is available,
+so that a writing process does not remain blocked.
+.PP
+Before Linux 2.6.11, the capacity of a pipe was the same as
+the system page size (e.g., 4096 bytes on i386).
+Since Linux 2.6.11, the pipe capacity is 16 pages
+(i.e., 65,536 bytes in a system with a page size of 4096 bytes).
+Since Linux 2.6.35, the default pipe capacity is 16 pages,
+but the capacity can be queried and set using the
+.BR fcntl (2)
+.B F_GETPIPE_SZ
+and
+.B F_SETPIPE_SZ
+operations.
+See
+.BR fcntl (2)
+for more information.
+.PP
+The following
+.BR ioctl (2)
+operation, which can be applied to a file descriptor
+that refers to either end of a pipe,
+places a count of the number of unread bytes in the pipe in the
+.I int
+buffer pointed to by the final argument of the call:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+ioctl(fd, FIONREAD, &nbytes);
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+The
+.B FIONREAD
+operation is not specified in any standard,
+but is provided on many implementations.
+.\"

+.SS PIPE_BUF
+POSIX.1 says that writes of less than
+.B PIPE_BUF
+bytes must be atomic: the output data is written to the pipe as a
+contiguous sequence.
+Writes of more than
+.B PIPE_BUF
+bytes may be nonatomic: the kernel may interleave the data
+with data written by other processes.
+POSIX.1 requires
+.B PIPE_BUF
+to be at least 512 bytes.
+(On Linux,
+.B PIPE_BUF
+is 4096 bytes.)
+The precise semantics depend on whether the file descriptor is nonblocking
+.RB ( O_NONBLOCK ),
+whether there are multiple writers to the pipe, and on
+.IR n ,
+the number of bytes to be written:
+.TP
+\fBO_NONBLOCK\fP disabled, \fIn\fP <= \fBPIPE_BUF\fP
+All
+.I n
+bytes are written atomically;
+.BR write (2)
+may block if there is not room for
+.I n
+bytes to be written immediately
+.TP
+\fBO_NONBLOCK\fP enabled, \fIn\fP <= \fBPIPE_BUF\fP
+If there is room to write
+.I n
+bytes to the pipe, then
+.BR write (2)
+succeeds immediately, writing all
+.I n
+bytes; otherwise
+.BR write (2)
+fails, with
+.I errno
+set to
+.BR EAGAIN .
+.TP
+\fBO_NONBLOCK\fP disabled, \fIn\fP > \fBPIPE_BUF\fP
+The write is nonatomic: the data given to
+.BR write (2)
+may be interleaved with
+.BR write (2)s
+by other process;
+the
+.BR write (2)
+blocks until
+.I n
+bytes have been written.
+.TP
+\fBO_NONBLOCK\fP enabled, \fIn\fP > \fBPIPE_BUF\fP
+If the pipe is full, then
+.BR write (2)
+fails, with
+.I errno
+set to
+.BR EAGAIN .
+Otherwise, from 1 to
+.I n
+bytes may be written (i.e., a "partial write" may occur;
+the caller should check the return value from
+.BR write (2)
+to see how many bytes were actually written),
+and these bytes may be interleaved with writes by other processes.
+.SS Open file status flags
+The only open file status flags that can be meaningfully applied to
+a pipe or FIFO are
+.B O_NONBLOCK
+and
+.BR O_ASYNC .
+.PP
+Setting the
+.B O_ASYNC
+flag for the read end of a pipe causes a signal
+.RB ( SIGIO
+by default) to be generated when new input becomes available on the pipe.
+The target for delivery of signals must be set using the
+.BR fcntl (2)
+.B F_SETOWN
+command.
+On Linux,
+.B O_ASYNC
+is supported for pipes and FIFOs only since Linux 2.6.
+.SS Portability notes
+On some systems (but not Linux), pipes are bidirectional:
+data can be transmitted in both directions between the pipe ends.
+POSIX.1 requires only unidirectional pipes.
+Portable applications should avoid reliance on
+bidirectional pipe semantics.
+.SS BUGS
+Before Linux 4.9, some bugs affected the handling of the
+.I pipe\-user\-pages\-soft
+and
+.I pipe\-user\-pages\-hard
+limits when using the
+.BR fcntl (2)
+.B F_SETPIPE_SZ
+operation to change a pipe's capacity:
+.\" These bugs where remedied by a series of patches, in particular,
+.\" commit b0b91d18e2e97b741b294af9333824ecc3fadfd8 and
+.\" commit a005ca0e6813e1d796a7422a7e31d8b8d6555df1
+.IP (a) 5
+When increasing the pipe capacity, the checks against the soft and
+hard limits were made against existing consumption,
+and excluded the memory required for the increased pipe capacity.
+The new increase in pipe capacity could then push the total
+memory used by the user for pipes (possibly far) over a limit.
+(This could also trigger the problem described next.)
+.IP
+Starting with Linux 4.9,
+the limit checking includes the memory required for the new pipe capacity.
+.IP (b)
+The limit checks were performed even when the new pipe capacity was
+less than the existing pipe capacity.
+This could lead to problems if a user set a large pipe capacity,
+and then the limits were lowered, with the result that the user could
+no longer decrease the pipe capacity.
+.IP
+Starting with Linux 4.9, checks against the limits
+are performed only when increasing a pipe's capacity;
+an unprivileged user can always decrease a pipe's capacity.
+.IP (c)
+The accounting and checking against the limits were done as follows:
+.RS
+.IP (1) 5
+.PD 0
+Test whether the user has exceeded the limit.
+.IP (2)
+Make the new pipe buffer allocation.
+.IP (3)
+Account new allocation against the limits.
+.PD
+.RE
+.IP
+This was racey.
+Multiple processes could pass point (1) simultaneously,
+and then allocate pipe buffers that were accounted for only in step (3),
+with the result that the user's pipe buffer
+allocation could be pushed over the limit.
+.IP
+Starting with Linux 4.9,
+the accounting step is performed before doing the allocation,
+and the operation fails if the limit would be exceeded.
+.PP
+Before Linux 4.9, bugs similar to points (a) and (c) could also occur
+when the kernel allocated memory for a new pipe buffer;
+that is, when calling
+.BR pipe (2)
+and when opening a previously unopened FIFO.

+.SH NAME
+pkeys \- overview of Memory Protection Keys
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Memory Protection Keys (pkeys) are an extension to existing
+page-based memory permissions.
+Normal page permissions using
+page tables require expensive system calls and TLB invalidations
+when changing permissions.
+Memory Protection Keys provide a mechanism for changing
+protections without requiring modification of the page tables on
+every permission change.
+.PP
+To use pkeys, software must first "tag" a page in the page tables
+with a pkey.
+After this tag is in place, an application only has
+to change the contents of a register in order to remove write
+access, or all access to a tagged page.
+.PP
+Protection keys work in conjunction with the existing
+.BR PROT_READ ,
+.BR PROT_WRITE ,
+and
+.B PROT_EXEC
+permissions passed to system calls such as
+.BR mprotect (2)
+and
+.BR mmap (2),
+but always act to further restrict these traditional permission
+mechanisms.
+.PP
+If a process performs an access that violates pkey
+restrictions, it receives a
+.B SIGSEGV
+signal.
+See
+.BR sigaction (2)
+for details of the information available with that signal.
+.PP
+To use the pkeys feature, the processor must support it, and the kernel
+must contain support for the feature on a given processor.
+As of early 2016 only future Intel x86 processors are supported,
+and this hardware supports 16 protection keys in each process.
+However, pkey 0 is used as the default key, so a maximum of 15
+are available for actual application use.
+The default key is assigned to any memory region for which a
+pkey has not been explicitly assigned via
+.BR pkey_mprotect (2).
+.PP
+Protection keys have the potential to add a layer of security and
+reliability to applications.
+But they have not been primarily designed as
+a security feature.
+For instance, WRPKRU is a completely unprivileged
+instruction, so pkeys are useless in any case that an attacker controls
+the PKRU register or can execute arbitrary instructions.
+.PP
+Applications should be very careful to ensure that they do not "leak"
+protection keys.
+For instance, before calling
+.BR pkey_free (2),
+the application should be sure that no memory has that pkey assigned.
+If the application left the freed pkey assigned, a future user of
+that pkey might inadvertently change the permissions of an unrelated
+data structure, which could impact security or stability.
+The kernel currently allows in-use pkeys to have
+.BR pkey_free (2)
+called on them because it would have processor or memory performance
+implications to perform the additional checks needed to disallow it.
+Implementation of the necessary checks is left up to applications.
+Applications may implement these checks by searching the
+.IR /proc/ pid /smaps
+file for memory regions with the pkey assigned.
+Further details can be found in
+.BR proc (5).
+.PP
+Any application wanting to use protection keys needs to be able
+to function without them.
+They might be unavailable because the hardware that the
+application runs on does not support them, the kernel code does
+not contain support, the kernel support has been disabled, or
+because the keys have all been allocated, perhaps by a library
+the application is using.
+It is recommended that applications wanting to use protection
+keys should simply call
+.BR pkey_alloc (2)
+and test whether the call succeeds,
+instead of attempting to detect support for the
+feature in any other way.
+.PP
+Although unnecessary, hardware support for protection keys may be
+enumerated with the
+.I cpuid
+instruction.
+Details of how to do this can be found in the Intel Software
+Developers Manual.
+The kernel performs this enumeration and exposes the information in
+.I /proc/cpuinfo
+under the "flags" field.
+The string "pku" in this field indicates hardware support for protection
+keys and the string "ospke" indicates that the kernel contains and has
+enabled protection keys support.
+.PP
+Applications using threads and protection keys should be especially
+careful.
+Threads inherit the protection key rights of the parent at the time
+of the
+.BR clone (2),
+system call.
+Applications should either ensure that their own permissions are
+appropriate for child threads at the time when
+.BR clone (2)
+is called, or ensure that each child thread can perform its
+own initialization of protection key rights.
+.\"
+.SS Signal Handler Behavior
+Each time a signal handler is invoked (including nested signals), the
+thread is temporarily given a new, default set of protection key rights
+that override the rights from the interrupted context.
+This means that applications must re-establish their desired protection
+key rights upon entering a signal handler if the desired rights differ
+from the defaults.
+The rights of any interrupted context are restored when the signal
+handler returns.
+.PP
+This signal behavior is unusual and is due to the fact that the x86 PKRU
+register (which stores protection key access rights) is managed with the
+same hardware mechanism (XSAVE) that manages floating-point registers.
+The signal behavior is the same as that of floating-point registers.
+.\"
+.SS Protection Keys system calls
+The Linux kernel implements the following pkey-related system calls:
+.BR pkey_mprotect (2),
+.BR pkey_alloc (2),
+and
+.BR pkey_free (2).
+.PP
+The Linux pkey system calls are available only if the kernel was
+configured and built with the
+.B CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS
+option.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The program below allocates a page of memory with read and write permissions.
+It then writes some data to the memory and successfully reads it
+back.
+After that, it attempts to allocate a protection key and
+disallows access to the page by using the WRPKRU instruction.
+It then tries to access the page,
+which we now expect to cause a fatal signal to the application.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The POSIX standard (the information below is from POSIX.1-2001)
+describes a set of behaviors and interfaces for a compliant system.
+However, many interfaces are optional and there are feature test macros
+to test the availability of interfaces at compile time, and functions
+.BR sysconf (3),
+.BR fpathconf (3),
+.BR pathconf (3),
+.BR confstr (3)
+to do this at run time.
+From shell scripts one can use
+.BR getconf (1).
+For more detail, see
+.BR sysconf (3).
+.PP
+We give the name of the POSIX abbreviation, the option, the name of the
+.BR sysconf (3)
+parameter used to inquire about the option, and possibly
+a very short description.
+Much more precise detail can be found in the POSIX standard itself,
+versions of which can nowadays be accessed freely on the web.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The process keyring is a keyring used to anchor keys on behalf of a process.
+It is created only when a process requests it.
+The process keyring has the name (description)

+.PP
+A special serial number value,

+is defined that can be used in lieu of the actual serial number of
+the calling process's process keyring.
+.PP
+From the
+.BR keyctl (1)
+utility, '\fB@p\fP' can be used instead of a numeric key ID in
+much the same way, but since
+.BR keyctl (1)
+is a program run after forking, this is of no utility.
+.PP
+A thread created using the
+.BR clone (2)
+.B CLONE_THREAD
+flag has the same process keyring as the caller of
+.BR clone (2).
+When a new process is created using
+.BR fork ()
+it initially has no process keyring.
+A process's process keyring is cleared on
+.BR execve (2).
+The process keyring is destroyed when the last
+thread that refers to it terminates.
+.PP
+If a process doesn't have a process keyring when it is accessed,
+then the process keyring will be created if the keyring is to be modified;
+otherwise, the error
+.B ENOKEY
+results.

+.SH NAME
+pthreads \- POSIX threads
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+POSIX.1 specifies a set of interfaces (functions, header files) for
+threaded programming commonly known as POSIX threads, or Pthreads.
+A single process can contain multiple threads,
+all of which are executing the same program.
+These threads share the same global memory (data and heap segments),
+but each thread has its own stack (automatic variables).
+.PP
+POSIX.1 also requires that threads share a range of other attributes
+(i.e., these attributes are process-wide rather than per-thread):
+.IP \[bu] 3
+process ID
+.IP \[bu]
+parent process ID
+.IP \[bu]
+process group ID and session ID
+.IP \[bu]
+controlling terminal
+.IP \[bu]
+user and group IDs
+.IP \[bu]
+open file descriptors
+.IP \[bu]
+record locks (see
+.BR fcntl (2))
+.IP \[bu]
+signal dispositions
+.IP \[bu]
+file mode creation mask
+.RB ( umask (2))
+.IP \[bu]
+current directory
+.RB ( chdir (2))
+and
+root directory
+.RB ( chroot (2))
+.IP \[bu]
+interval timers
+.RB ( setitimer (2))
+and POSIX timers
+.RB ( timer_create (2))
+.IP \[bu]
+nice value
+.RB ( setpriority (2))
+.IP \[bu]
+resource limits
+.RB ( setrlimit (2))
+.IP \[bu]
+measurements of the consumption of CPU time
+.RB ( times (2))
+and resources
+.RB ( getrusage (2))
+.PP
+As well as the stack, POSIX.1 specifies that various other
+attributes are distinct for each thread, including:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+thread ID (the
+.I pthread_t
+data type)
+.IP \[bu]
+signal mask
+.RB ( pthread_sigmask (3))
+.IP \[bu]
+the
+.I errno
+variable
+.IP \[bu]
+alternate signal stack
+.RB ( sigaltstack (2))
+.IP \[bu]
+real-time scheduling policy and priority
+.RB ( sched (7))
+.PP
+The following Linux-specific features are also per-thread:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+capabilities (see
+.BR capabilities (7))
+.IP \[bu]
+CPU affinity
+.RB ( sched_setaffinity (2))
+.SS Pthreads function return values
+Most pthreads functions return 0 on success, and an error number on failure.
+The error numbers that can be returned have the same meaning as
+the error numbers returned in
+.I errno
+by conventional system calls and C library functions.
+Note that the pthreads functions do not set
+.IR errno .
+For each of the pthreads functions that can return an error,
+POSIX.1-2001 specifies that the function can never fail with the error
+.BR EINTR .
+.SS Thread IDs
+Each of the threads in a process has a unique thread identifier
+(stored in the type
+.IR pthread_t ).
+This identifier is returned to the caller of
+.BR pthread_create (3),
+and a thread can obtain its own thread identifier using
+.BR pthread_self (3).
+.PP
+Thread IDs are guaranteed to be unique only within a process.
+(In all pthreads functions that accept a thread ID as an argument,
+that ID by definition refers to a thread in
+the same process as the caller.)
+.PP
+The system may reuse a thread ID after a terminated thread has been joined,
+or a detached thread has terminated.
+POSIX says: "If an application attempts to use a thread ID whose
+lifetime has ended, the behavior is undefined."
+.SS Thread-safe functions
+A thread-safe function is one that can be safely
+(i.e., it will deliver the same results regardless of whether it is)
+called from multiple threads at the same time.
+.PP
+POSIX.1-2001 and POSIX.1-2008 require that all functions specified
+in the standard shall be thread-safe,
+except for the following functions:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+asctime()
+basename()
+catgets()
+crypt()
+ctermid() if passed a non-NULL argument

+An implementation may also mark other functions
+not specified in the standard as cancelation points.
+In particular, an implementation is likely to mark
+any nonstandard function that may block as a cancelation point.
+(This includes most functions that can touch files.)
+.PP
+It should be noted that even if an application is not using
+asynchronous cancelation, that calling a function from the above list
+from an asynchronous signal handler may cause the equivalent of
+asynchronous cancelation.
+The underlying user code may not expect

+.SS Compiling on Linux
+On Linux, programs that use the Pthreads API should be compiled using
+.IR "cc \-pthread" .
+.SS Linux implementations of POSIX threads
+Over time, two threading implementations have been provided by
+the GNU C library on Linux:
+.TP
+.B LinuxThreads
+This is the original Pthreads implementation.
+Since glibc 2.4, this implementation is no longer supported.
+.TP
+.BR NPTL " (Native POSIX Threads Library)"
+This is the modern Pthreads implementation.
+By comparison with LinuxThreads, NPTL provides closer conformance to
+the requirements of the POSIX.1 specification and better performance
+when creating large numbers of threads.
+NPTL is available since glibc 2.3.2,
+and requires features that are present in the Linux 2.6 kernel.
+.PP
+Both of these are so-called 1:1 implementations, meaning that each
+thread maps to a kernel scheduling entity.
+Both threading implementations employ the Linux
+.BR clone (2)
+system call.
+In NPTL, thread synchronization primitives (mutexes,
+thread joining, and so on) are implemented using the Linux
+.BR futex (2)
+system call.
+.SS LinuxThreads
+The notable features of this implementation are the following:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+In addition to the main (initial) thread,
+and the threads that the program creates using
+.BR pthread_create (3),
+the implementation creates a "manager" thread.
+This thread handles thread creation and termination.
+(Problems can result if this thread is inadvertently killed.)
+.IP \[bu]
+Signals are used internally by the implementation.
+On Linux 2.2 and later, the first three real-time signals are used
+(see also
+.BR signal (7)).
+On older Linux kernels,
+.B SIGUSR1
+and
+.B SIGUSR2
+are used.
+Applications must avoid the use of whichever set of signals is
+employed by the implementation.
+.IP \[bu]
+Threads do not share process IDs.
+(In effect, LinuxThreads threads are implemented as processes which share
+more information than usual, but which do not share a common process ID.)
+LinuxThreads threads (including the manager thread)
+are visible as separate processes using
+.BR ps (1).
+.PP
+The LinuxThreads implementation deviates from the POSIX.1
+specification in a number of ways, including the following:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Calls to
+.BR getpid (2)
+return a different value in each thread.
+.IP \[bu]
+Calls to
+.BR getppid (2)
+in threads other than the main thread return the process ID of the
+manager thread; instead
+.BR getppid (2)
+in these threads should return the same value as
+.BR getppid (2)
+in the main thread.
+.IP \[bu]
+When one thread creates a new child process using
+.BR fork (2),
+any thread should be able to
+.BR wait (2)
+on the child.
+However, the implementation allows only the thread that
+created the child to
+.BR wait (2)
+on it.
+.IP \[bu]
+When a thread calls
+.BR execve (2),
+all other threads are terminated (as required by POSIX.1).
+However, the resulting process has the same PID as the thread that called
+.BR execve (2):
+it should have the same PID as the main thread.
+.IP \[bu]
+Threads do not share user and group IDs.
+This can cause complications with set-user-ID programs and
+can cause failures in Pthreads functions if an application
+changes its credentials using
+.BR seteuid (2)
+or similar.
+.IP \[bu]
+Threads do not share a common session ID and process group ID.
+.IP \[bu]
+Threads do not share record locks created using
+.BR fcntl (2).
+.IP \[bu]
+The information returned by
+.BR times (2)
+and
+.BR getrusage (2)
+is per-thread rather than process-wide.
+.IP \[bu]
+Threads do not share semaphore undo values (see
+.BR semop (2)).
+.IP \[bu]
+Threads do not share interval timers.
+.IP \[bu]
+Threads do not share a common nice value.
+.IP \[bu]
+POSIX.1 distinguishes the notions of signals that are directed
+to the process as a whole and signals that are directed to individual
+threads.
+According to POSIX.1, a process-directed signal (sent using
+.BR kill (2),
+for example) should be handled by a single,
+arbitrarily selected thread within the process.
+LinuxThreads does not support the notion of process-directed signals:
+signals may be sent only to specific threads.
+.IP \[bu]
+Threads have distinct alternate signal stack settings.
+However, a new thread's alternate signal stack settings
+are copied from the thread that created it, so that
+the threads initially share an alternate signal stack.
+(A new thread should start with no alternate signal stack defined.
+If two threads handle signals on their shared alternate signal
+stack at the same time, unpredictable program failures are
+likely to occur.)
+.SS NPTL
+With NPTL, all of the threads in a process are placed
+in the same thread group;
+all members of a thread group share the same PID.
+NPTL does not employ a manager thread.
+.PP
+NPTL makes internal use of the first two real-time signals;
+these signals cannot be used in applications.
+See
+.BR nptl (7)
+for further details.
+.PP
+NPTL still has at least one nonconformance with POSIX.1:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Threads do not share a common nice value.
+.\" FIXME . bug report filed for NPTL nice nonconformance
+.\" http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6258
+.\" Sep 08: there is a patch by Denys Vlasenko to address this
+.\" "make setpriority POSIX compliant; introduce PRIO_THREAD extension"
+.\" Monitor this to see if it makes it into mainline.
+.PP
+Some NPTL nonconformances occur only with older kernels:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The information returned by
+.BR times (2)
+and
+.BR getrusage (2)
+is per-thread rather than process-wide (fixed in Linux 2.6.9).
+.IP \[bu]
+Threads do not share resource limits (fixed in Linux 2.6.10).
+.IP \[bu]
+Threads do not share interval timers (fixed in Linux 2.6.12).
+.IP \[bu]
+Only the main thread is permitted to start a new session using
+.BR setsid (2)
+(fixed in Linux 2.6.16).
+.IP \[bu]
+Only the main thread is permitted to make the process into a
+process group leader using
+.BR setpgid (2)
+(fixed in Linux 2.6.16).
+.IP \[bu]
+Threads have distinct alternate signal stack settings.
+However, a new thread's alternate signal stack settings
+are copied from the thread that created it, so that
+the threads initially share an alternate signal stack
+(fixed in Linux 2.6.16).
+.PP
+Note the following further points about the NPTL implementation:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+If the stack size soft resource limit (see the description of
+.B RLIMIT_STACK
+in
+.BR setrlimit (2))
+is set to a value other than
+.IR unlimited ,
+then this value defines the default stack size for new threads.
+To be effective, this limit must be set before the program
+is executed, perhaps using the
+.I ulimit \-s
+shell built-in command
+.RI ( "limit stacksize"
+in the C shell).
+.SS Determining the threading implementation
+Since glibc 2.3.2, the
+.BR getconf (1)
+command can be used to determine
+the system's threading implementation, for example:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+bash$ getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
+NPTL 2.3.4
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+With older glibc versions, a command such as the following should
+be sufficient to determine the default threading implementation:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+bash$ $( ldd /bin/ls | grep libc.so | awk \[aq]{print $3}\[aq] ) | \e
+ egrep \-i \[aq]threads|nptl\[aq]
+ Native POSIX Threads Library by Ulrich Drepper et al
+.EE
+.in
+.SS Selecting the threading implementation: LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
+On systems with a glibc that supports both LinuxThreads and NPTL
+(i.e., glibc 2.3.\fIx\fP), the
+.B LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
+environment variable can be used to override
+the dynamic linker's default choice of threading implementation.
+This variable tells the dynamic linker to assume that it is
+running on top of a particular kernel version.
+By specifying a kernel version that does not
+provide the support required by NPTL, we can force the use
+of LinuxThreads.
+(The most likely reason for doing this is to run a
+(broken) application that depends on some nonconformant behavior
+in LinuxThreads.)
+For example:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+bash$ $( LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 ldd /bin/ls | grep libc.so | \e
+ awk \[aq]{print $3}\[aq] ) | egrep \-i \[aq]threads|nptl\[aq]

+.SH NAME
+pty \- pseudoterminal interfaces
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+A pseudoterminal (sometimes abbreviated "pty")
+is a pair of virtual character devices that
+provide a bidirectional communication channel.
+One end of the channel is called the
+.IR master ;
+the other end is called the
+.IR slave .
+.PP
+The slave end of the pseudoterminal provides an interface
+that behaves exactly like a classical terminal.
+A process that expects to be connected to a terminal,
+can open the slave end of a pseudoterminal and
+then be driven by a program that has opened the master end.
+Anything that is written on the master end is provided to the process
+on the slave end as though it was input typed on a terminal.
+For example, writing the interrupt character (usually control-C)
+to the master device would cause an interrupt signal
+.RB ( SIGINT )
+to be generated for the foreground process group
+that is connected to the slave.
+Conversely, anything that is written to the slave end of the
+pseudoterminal can be read by the process that is connected to
+the master end.
+.PP
+Data flow between master and slave is handled asynchronously,
+much like data flow with a physical terminal.
+Data written to the slave will be available at the master promptly,
+but may not be available immediately.
+Similarly, there may be a small processing delay between
+a write to the master, and the effect being visible at the slave.
+.PP
+Historically, two pseudoterminal APIs have evolved: BSD and System V.
+SUSv1 standardized a pseudoterminal API based on the System V API,
+and this API should be employed in all new programs that use
+pseudoterminals.
+.PP
+Linux provides both BSD-style and (standardized) System V-style
+pseudoterminals.
+System V-style terminals are commonly called UNIX 98 pseudoterminals
+on Linux systems.
+.PP
+Since Linux 2.6.4, BSD-style pseudoterminals are considered deprecated:
+support can be disabled when building the kernel by disabling the
+.B CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS
+option.
+(Starting with Linux 2.6.30,
+that option is disabled by default in the mainline kernel.)
+UNIX 98 pseudoterminals should be used in new applications.
+.SS UNIX 98 pseudoterminals
+An unused UNIX 98 pseudoterminal master is opened by calling
+.BR posix_openpt (3).
+(This function opens the master clone device,
+.IR /dev/ptmx ;
+see
+.BR pts (4).)
+After performing any program-specific initializations,
+changing the ownership and permissions of the slave device using
+.BR grantpt (3),
+and unlocking the slave using
+.BR unlockpt (3)),
+the corresponding slave device can be opened by passing
+the name returned by
+.BR ptsname (3)
+in a call to
+.BR open (2).
+.PP
+The Linux kernel imposes a limit on the number of available
+UNIX 98 pseudoterminals.
+Up to and including Linux 2.6.3, this limit is configured
+at kernel compilation time
+.RB ( CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS ),
+and the permitted number of pseudoterminals can be up to 2048,

+.SS BSD pseudoterminals
+BSD-style pseudoterminals are provided as precreated pairs, with
+names of the form
+.I /dev/ptyXY
+(master) and
+.I /dev/ttyXY
+(slave),
+where X is a letter from the 16-character set [p\-za\-e],
+and Y is a letter from the 16-character set [0\-9a\-f].
+(The precise range of letters in these two sets varies across UNIX
+implementations.)
+For example,
+.I /dev/ptyp1
+and
+.I /dev/ttyp1
+constitute a BSD pseudoterminal pair.
+A process finds an unused pseudoterminal pair by trying to
+.BR open (2)
+each pseudoterminal master until an open succeeds.
+The corresponding pseudoterminal slave (substitute "tty"
+for "pty" in the name of the master) can then be opened.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The

+header file provides a set of macros that
+define and operate on the following data structures:
+.TP
+SLIST
+singly linked lists
+.TP
+LIST
+doubly linked lists
+.TP
+STAILQ
+singly linked tail queues
+.TP
+TAILQ
+doubly linked tail queues
+.TP
+CIRCLEQ
+doubly linked circular queues
+.PP
+All structures support the following functionality:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Insertion of a new entry at the head of the list.
+.IP \[bu]
+Insertion of a new entry after any element in the list.
+.IP \[bu]
+O(1) removal of an entry from the head of the list.
+.IP \[bu]
+Forward traversal through the list.
+.\".IP *
+.\" Swapping the contents of two lists.
+.PP
+Code size and execution time
+depend on the complexity of the data structure being used,
+so programmers should take care to choose the appropriate one.
+.SS Singly linked lists (SLIST)
+Singly linked lists are the simplest
+and support only the above functionality.
+Singly linked lists are ideal for applications with
+large datasets and few or no removals,
+or for implementing a LIFO queue.
+Singly linked lists add the following functionality:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+O(n) removal of any entry in the list.
+.SS Singly linked tail queues (STAILQ)
+Singly linked tail queues add the following functionality:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Entries can be added at the end of a list.
+.IP \[bu]
+O(n) removal of any entry in the list.
+.IP \[bu]
+They may be concatenated.
+.PP
+However:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+All list insertions must specify the head of the list.
+.IP \[bu]
+Each head entry requires two pointers rather than one.
+.PP
+Singly linked tail queues are ideal for applications with
+large datasets and few or no removals,
+or for implementing a FIFO queue.
+.SS Doubly linked data structures
+All doubly linked types of data structures (lists and tail queues)
+additionally allow:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Insertion of a new entry before any element in the list.
+.IP \[bu]
+O(1) removal of any entry in the list.
+.PP
+However:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Each element requires two pointers rather than one.
+.SS Doubly linked lists (LIST)
+Linked lists are the simplest of the doubly linked data structures.
+They add the following functionality over the above:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+They may be traversed backwards.
+.PP
+However:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+To traverse backwards, an entry to begin the traversal and the list in
+which it is contained must be specified.
+.SS Doubly linked tail queues (TAILQ)
+Tail queues add the following functionality:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Entries can be added at the end of a list.
+.IP \[bu]
+They may be traversed backwards, from tail to head.
+.IP \[bu]
+They may be concatenated.
+.PP
+However:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+All list insertions and removals must specify the head of the list.
+.IP \[bu]
+Each head entry requires two pointers rather than one.
+.SS Doubly linked circular queues (CIRCLEQ)
+Circular queues add the following functionality over the above:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The first and last entries are connected.
+.PP
+However:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The termination condition for traversal is more complex.
+.SH STANDARDS
+BSD.
+.SH HISTORY
+.I <sys/queue.h>
+macros first appeared in 4.4BSD.
+.SH NOTES
+Some BSDs provide SIMPLEQ instead of STAILQ.
+They are identical, but for historical reasons
+they were named differently on different BSDs.
+STAILQ originated on FreeBSD, and SIMPLEQ originated on NetBSD.
+For compatibility reasons, some systems provide both sets of macros.

+.SH NAME
+random \- overview of interfaces for obtaining randomness
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The kernel random-number generator relies on entropy gathered from
+device drivers and other sources of environmental noise to seed
+a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG).
+It is designed for security, rather than speed.
+.PP
+The following interfaces provide access to output from the kernel CSPRNG:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The
+.I /dev/urandom
+and
+.I /dev/random
+devices, both described in
+.BR random (4).
+These devices have been present on Linux since early times,
+and are also available on many other systems.
+.IP \[bu]
+The Linux-specific
+.BR getrandom (2)
+system call, available since Linux 3.17.
+This system call provides access either to the same source as
+.I /dev/urandom
+(called the
+.I urandom
+source in this page)
+or to the same source as
+.I /dev/random
+(called the
+.I random
+source in this page).
+The default is the
+.I urandom
+source; the
+.I random
+source is selected by specifying the
+.B GRND_RANDOM
+flag to the system call.
+(The
+.BR getentropy (3)
+function provides a slightly more portable interface on top of
+.BR getrandom (2).)
+.\"
+.SS Initialization of the entropy pool
+The kernel collects bits of entropy from the environment.
+When a sufficient number of random bits has been collected, the
+entropy pool is considered to be initialized.
+.SS Choice of random source
+Unless you are doing long-term key generation (and most likely not even
+then), you probably shouldn't be reading from the
+.I /dev/random
+device or employing
+.BR getrandom (2)
+with the
+.B GRND_RANDOM
+flag.
+Instead, either read from the
+.I /dev/urandom
+device or employ
+.BR getrandom (2)
+without the
+.B GRND_RANDOM
+flag.
+The cryptographic algorithms used for the
+.I urandom
+source are quite conservative, and so should be sufficient for all purposes.
+.PP
+The disadvantage of
+.B GRND_RANDOM
+and reads from
+.I /dev/random
+is that the operation can block for an indefinite period of time.
+Furthermore, dealing with the partially fulfilled
+requests that can occur when using
+.B GRND_RANDOM
+or when reading from
+.I /dev/random
+increases code complexity.
+.\"
+.SS Monte Carlo and other probabilistic sampling applications
+Using these interfaces to provide large quantities of data for
+Monte Carlo simulations or other programs/algorithms which are
+doing probabilistic sampling will be slow.
+Furthermore, it is unnecessary, because such applications do not
+need cryptographically secure random numbers.
+Instead, use the interfaces described in this page to obtain
+a small amount of data to seed a user-space pseudorandom
+number generator for use by such applications.
+.\"
+.SS Comparison between getrandom, /dev/urandom, and /dev/random
+The following table summarizes the behavior of the various
+interfaces that can be used to obtain randomness.
+.B GRND_NONBLOCK
+is a flag that can be used to control the blocking behavior of
+.BR getrandom (2).
+The final column of the table considers the case that can occur
+in early boot time when the entropy pool is not yet initialized.

+.SS Generating cryptographic keys
+The amount of seed material required to generate a cryptographic key
+equals the effective key size of the key.
+For example, a 3072-bit RSA
+or Diffie-Hellman private key has an effective key size of 128 bits
+(it requires about 2\[ha]128 operations to break) so a key generator
+needs only 128 bits (16 bytes) of seed material from
+.IR /dev/random .
+.PP
+While some safety margin above that minimum is reasonable, as a guard
+against flaws in the CSPRNG algorithm, no cryptographic primitive
+available today can hope to promise more than 256 bits of security,
+so if any program reads more than 256 bits (32 bytes) from the kernel
+random pool per invocation, or per reasonable reseed interval (not less
+than one minute), that should be taken as a sign that its cryptography is
+.I not
+skillfully implemented.

+.SH NAME
+raw \- Linux IPv4 raw sockets
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <sys/socket.h>
+.B #include <netinet/in.h>
+.BI "raw_socket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, int " protocol );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Raw sockets allow new IPv4 protocols to be implemented in user space.
+A raw socket receives or sends the raw datagram not
+including link level headers.
+.PP
+The IPv4 layer generates an IP header when sending a packet unless the
+.B IP_HDRINCL
+socket option is enabled on the socket.
+When it is enabled, the packet must contain an IP header.
+For receiving, the IP header is always included in the packet.
+.PP
+In order to create a raw socket, a process must have the
+.B CAP_NET_RAW
+capability in the user namespace that governs its network namespace.
+.PP
+All packets or errors matching the
+.I protocol
+number specified
+for the raw socket are passed to this socket.
+For a list of the allowed protocols,
+see the IANA list of assigned protocol numbers at
+.UR http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol\-numbers/
+.UE
+and
+.BR getprotobyname (3).
+.PP
+A protocol of
+.B IPPROTO_RAW
+implies enabled
+.B IP_HDRINCL
+and is able to send any IP protocol that is specified in the passed
+header.
+Receiving of all IP protocols via
+.B IPPROTO_RAW
+is not possible using raw sockets.

+.TE
+.RE
+.PP
+If
+.B IP_HDRINCL
+is specified and the IP header has a nonzero destination address, then
+the destination address of the socket is used to route the packet.
+When
+.B MSG_DONTROUTE
+is specified, the destination address should refer to a local interface,
+otherwise a routing table lookup is done anyway but gatewayed routes
+are ignored.
+.PP
+If
+.B IP_HDRINCL
+isn't set, then IP header options can be set on raw sockets with
+.BR setsockopt (2);
+see
+.BR ip (7)
+for more information.
+.PP
+Starting with Linux 2.2, all IP header fields and options can be set using
+IP socket options.
+This means raw sockets are usually needed only for new
+protocols or protocols with no user interface (like ICMP).
+.PP
+When a packet is received, it is passed to any raw sockets which have
+been bound to its protocol before it is passed to other protocol handlers
+(e.g., kernel protocol modules).
+.SS Address format
+For sending and receiving datagrams
+.RB ( sendto (2),
+.BR recvfrom (2),
+and similar),
+raw sockets use the standard
+.I sockaddr_in
+address structure defined in
+.BR ip (7).
+The
+.I sin_port
+field could be used to specify the IP protocol number,
+but it is ignored for sending in Linux 2.2 and later, and should be always
+set to 0 (see BUGS).
+For incoming packets,
+.I sin_port
+.\" commit f59fc7f30b710d45aadf715460b3e60dbe9d3418
+is set to zero.
+.SS Socket options
+Raw socket options can be set with
+.BR setsockopt (2)
+and read with
+.BR getsockopt (2)
+by passing the
+.B IPPROTO_RAW
+.\" Or SOL_RAW on Linux
+family flag.
+.TP
+.B ICMP_FILTER
+Enable a special filter for raw sockets bound to the
+.B IPPROTO_ICMP
+protocol.
+The value has a bit set for each ICMP message type which
+should be filtered out.
+The default is to filter no ICMP messages.
+.PP
+In addition, all
+.BR ip (7)
+.B IPPROTO_IP
+socket options valid for datagram sockets are supported.
+.SS Error handling
+Errors originating from the network are passed to the user only when the
+socket is connected or the
+.B IP_RECVERR
+flag is enabled.
+For connected sockets, only
+.B EMSGSIZE
+and
+.B EPROTO
+are passed for compatibility.
+With
+.BR IP_RECVERR ,
+all network errors are saved in the error queue.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EACCES
+User tried to send to a broadcast address without having the
+broadcast flag set on the socket.
+.TP
+.B EFAULT
+An invalid memory address was supplied.
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+Invalid argument.
+.TP
+.B EMSGSIZE
+Packet too big.
+Either Path MTU Discovery is enabled (the
+.B IP_MTU_DISCOVER
+socket flag) or the packet size exceeds the maximum allowed IPv4
+packet size of 64\ kB.
+.TP
+.B EOPNOTSUPP
+Invalid flag has been passed to a socket call (like
+.BR MSG_OOB ).
+.TP
+.B EPERM
+The user doesn't have permission to open raw sockets.
+Only processes with an effective user ID of 0 or the
+.B CAP_NET_RAW
+attribute may do that.
+.TP
+.B EPROTO
+An ICMP error has arrived reporting a parameter problem.
+.SH VERSIONS
+.B IP_RECVERR
+and
+.B ICMP_FILTER
+are new in Linux 2.2.
+They are Linux extensions and should not be used in portable programs.
+.PP
+Linux 2.0 enabled some bug-to-bug compatibility with BSD in the
+raw socket code when the
+.B SO_BSDCOMPAT
+socket option was set; since Linux 2.2,
+this option no longer has that effect.
+.SH NOTES
+By default, raw sockets do path MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) discovery.
+This means the kernel
+will keep track of the MTU to a specific target IP address and return
+.B EMSGSIZE
+when a raw packet write exceeds it.
+When this happens, the application should decrease the packet size.
+Path MTU discovery can be also turned off using the
+.B IP_MTU_DISCOVER
+socket option or the
+.I /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_no_pmtu_disc
+file, see
+.BR ip (7)
+for details.
+When turned off, raw sockets will fragment outgoing packets
+that exceed the interface MTU.
+However, disabling it is not recommended
+for performance and reliability reasons.
+.PP
+A raw socket can be bound to a specific local address using the
+.BR bind (2)
+call.
+If it isn't bound, all packets with the specified IP protocol are received.
+In addition, a raw socket can be bound to a specific network device using
+.BR SO_BINDTODEVICE ;
+see
+.BR socket (7).
+.PP
+An
+.B IPPROTO_RAW
+socket is send only.
+If you really want to receive all IP packets, use a
+.BR packet (7)
+socket with the
+.B ETH_P_IP
+protocol.
+Note that packet sockets don't reassemble IP fragments,
+unlike raw sockets.
+.PP
+If you want to receive all ICMP packets for a datagram socket,
+it is often better to use
+.B IP_RECVERR
+on that particular socket; see
+.BR ip (7).
+.PP
+Raw sockets may tap all IP protocols in Linux, even
+protocols like ICMP or TCP which have a protocol module in the kernel.
+In this case, the packets are passed to both the kernel module and the raw
+socket(s).
+This should not be relied upon in portable programs, many other BSD
+socket implementation have limitations here.
+.PP
+Linux never changes headers passed from the user (except for filling
+in some zeroed fields as described for
+.BR IP_HDRINCL ).
+This differs from many other implementations of raw sockets.
+.PP
+Raw sockets are generally rather unportable and should be avoided in
+programs intended to be portable.
+.PP
+Sending on raw sockets should take the IP protocol from
+.IR sin_port ;
+this ability was lost in Linux 2.2.
+The workaround is to use
+.BR IP_HDRINCL .
+.SH BUGS
+Transparent proxy extensions are not described.
+.PP
+When the
+.B IP_HDRINCL
+option is set, datagrams will not be fragmented and are limited to
+the interface MTU.
+.PP
+Setting the IP protocol for sending in
+.I sin_port
+got lost in Linux 2.2.
+The protocol that the socket was bound to or that
+was specified in the initial
+.BR socket (2)
+call is always used.

+.SH NAME
+regex \- POSIX.2 regular expressions
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Regular expressions ("RE"s),
+as defined in POSIX.2, come in two forms:
+modern REs (roughly those of
+.IR egrep ;
+POSIX.2 calls these "extended" REs)
+and obsolete REs (roughly those of
+.BR ed (1);
+POSIX.2 "basic" REs).
+Obsolete REs mostly exist for backward compatibility in some old programs;
+they will be discussed at the end.
+POSIX.2 leaves some aspects of RE syntax and semantics open;
+"\*(dg" marks decisions on these aspects that
+may not be fully portable to other POSIX.2 implementations.
+.PP
+A (modern) RE is one\*(dg or more nonempty\*(dg \fIbranches\fR,
+separated by \[aq]|\[aq].
+It matches anything that matches one of the branches.
+.PP
+A branch is one\*(dg or more \fIpieces\fR, concatenated.
+It matches a match for the first, followed by a match for the second,
+and so on.
+.PP
+A piece is an \fIatom\fR possibly followed
+by a single\*(dg \[aq]*\[aq], \[aq]+\[aq], \[aq]?\[aq], or \fIbound\fR.
+An atom followed by \[aq]*\[aq]
+matches a sequence of 0 or more matches of the atom.
+An atom followed by \[aq]+\[aq]
+matches a sequence of 1 or more matches of the atom.
+An atom followed by \[aq]?\[aq]
+matches a sequence of 0 or 1 matches of the atom.
+.PP
+A \fIbound\fR is \[aq]{\[aq] followed by an unsigned decimal integer,
+possibly followed by \[aq],\[aq]
+possibly followed by another unsigned decimal integer,
+always followed by \[aq]}\[aq].
+The integers must lie between 0 and
+.B RE_DUP_MAX
+(255\*(dg) inclusive,
+and if there are two of them, the first may not exceed the second.
+An atom followed by a bound containing one integer \fIi\fR
+and no comma matches
+a sequence of exactly \fIi\fR matches of the atom.
+An atom followed by a bound
+containing one integer \fIi\fR and a comma matches
+a sequence of \fIi\fR or more matches of the atom.
+An atom followed by a bound
+containing two integers \fIi\fR and \fIj\fR matches
+a sequence of \fIi\fR through \fIj\fR (inclusive) matches of the atom.
+.PP
+An atom is a regular expression enclosed in "\fI()\fP"
+(matching a match for the regular expression),
+an empty set of "\fI()\fP" (matching the null string)\*(dg,
+a \fIbracket expression\fR (see below),
+\[aq].\[aq] (matching any single character),
+\[aq]\[ha]\[aq] (matching the null string at the beginning of a line),
+\[aq]$\[aq] (matching the null string at the end of a line),
+a \[aq]\e\[aq] followed by one of the characters "\fI\[ha].[$()|*+?{\e\fP"
+(matching that character taken as an ordinary character),
+a \[aq]\e\[aq] followed by any other character\*(dg
+(matching that character taken as an ordinary character,
+as if the \[aq]\e\[aq] had not been present\*(dg),
+or a single character with no other significance (matching that character).
+A \[aq]{\[aq] followed by a character other than a digit
+is an ordinary character,
+not the beginning of a bound\*(dg.
+It is illegal to end an RE with \[aq]\e\[aq].
+.PP
+A \fIbracket expression\fR is a list of characters enclosed in "\fI[]\fP".
+It normally matches any single character from the list (but see below).
+If the list begins with \[aq]\[ha]\[aq],
+it matches any single character
+(but see below) \fInot\fR from the rest of the list.
+If two characters in the list are separated by \[aq]\-\[aq], this is shorthand
+for the full \fIrange\fR of characters between those two (inclusive) in the
+collating sequence,
+for example, "\fI[0\-9]\fP" in ASCII matches any decimal digit.
+It is illegal\*(dg for two ranges to share an
+endpoint, for example, "\fIa\-c\-e\fP".
+Ranges are very collating-sequence-dependent,
+and portable programs should avoid relying on them.
+.PP
+To include a literal \[aq]]\[aq] in the list, make it the first character
+(following a possible \[aq]\[ha]\[aq]).
+To include a literal \[aq]\-\[aq], make it the first or last character,
+or the second endpoint of a range.
+To use a literal \[aq]\-\[aq] as the first endpoint of a range,
+enclose it in "\fI[.\fP" and "\fI.]\fP"
+to make it a collating element (see below).
+With the exception of these and some combinations using \[aq][\[aq] (see next
+paragraphs), all other special characters, including \[aq]\e\[aq], lose their
+special significance within a bracket expression.
+.PP
+Within a bracket expression, a collating element (a character,
+a multicharacter sequence that collates as if it were a single character,
+or a collating-sequence name for either)
+enclosed in "\fI[.\fP" and "\fI.]\fP" stands for the
+sequence of characters of that collating element.
+The sequence is a single element of the bracket expression's list.
+A bracket expression containing a multicharacter collating element
+can thus match more than one character,
+for example, if the collating sequence includes a "ch" collating element,
+then the RE "\fI[[.ch.]]*c\fP" matches the first five characters
+of "chchcc".
+.PP
+Within a bracket expression, a collating element enclosed in "\fI[=\fP" and
+"\fI=]\fP" is an equivalence class, standing for the sequences of characters
+of all collating elements equivalent to that one, including itself.
+(If there are no other equivalent collating elements,
+the treatment is as if the enclosing delimiters
+were "\fI[.\fP" and "\fI.]\fP".)
+For example, if o and \(^o are the members of an equivalence class,
+then "\fI[[=o=]]\fP", "\fI[[=\(^o=]]\fP",
+and "\fI[o\(^o]\fP" are all synonymous.
+An equivalence class may not\*(dg be an endpoint
+of a range.
+.PP
+Within a bracket expression, the name of a \fIcharacter class\fR enclosed
+in "\fI[:\fP" and "\fI:]\fP" stands for the list
+of all characters belonging to that
+class.
+Standard character class names are:
+.PP
+.RS
+.TS
+l l l.
+alnum digit punct
+alpha graph space
+blank lower upper
+cntrl print xdigit
+.TE
+.RE
+.PP
+These stand for the character classes defined in
+.BR wctype (3).
+A locale may provide others.
+A character class may not be used as an endpoint of a range.
+.\" As per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=295666
+.\" The following does not seem to apply in the glibc implementation
+.\" .PP
+.\" There are two special cases\*(dg of bracket expressions:
+.\" the bracket expressions "\fI[[:<:]]\fP" and "\fI[[:>:]]\fP" match
+.\" the null string at the beginning and end of a word respectively.
+.\" A word is defined as a sequence of
+.\" word characters
+.\" which is neither preceded nor followed by
+.\" word characters.
+.\" A word character is an
+.\" .I alnum
+.\" character (as defined by
+.\" .BR wctype (3))
+.\" or an underscore.
+.\" This is an extension,
+.\" compatible with but not specified by POSIX.2,
+.\" and should be used with
+.\" caution in software intended to be portable to other systems.
+.PP
+In the event that an RE could match more than one substring of a given
+string,
+the RE matches the one starting earliest in the string.
+If the RE could match more than one substring starting at that point,
+it matches the longest.
+Subexpressions also match the longest possible substrings, subject to
+the constraint that the whole match be as long as possible,
+with subexpressions starting earlier in the RE taking priority over
+ones starting later.
+Note that higher-level subexpressions thus take priority over
+their lower-level component subexpressions.
+.PP
+Match lengths are measured in characters, not collating elements.
+A null string is considered longer than no match at all.
+For example,
+"\fIbb*\fP" matches the three middle characters of "abbbc",
+"\fI(wee|week)(knights|nights)\fP"
+matches all ten characters of "weeknights",
+when "\fI(.*).*\fP" is matched against "abc" the parenthesized subexpression
+matches all three characters, and
+when "\fI(a*)*\fP" is matched against "bc"
+both the whole RE and the parenthesized
+subexpression match the null string.
+.PP
+If case-independent matching is specified,
+the effect is much as if all case distinctions had vanished from the
+alphabet.
+When an alphabetic that exists in multiple cases appears as an
+ordinary character outside a bracket expression, it is effectively
+transformed into a bracket expression containing both cases,
+for example, \[aq]x\[aq] becomes "\fI[xX]\fP".
+When it appears inside a bracket expression, all case counterparts
+of it are added to the bracket expression, so that, for example, "\fI[x]\fP"
+becomes "\fI[xX]\fP" and "\fI[\[ha]x]\fP" becomes "\fI[\[ha]xX]\fP".
+.PP
+No particular limit is imposed on the length of REs\*(dg.
+Programs intended to be portable should not employ REs longer
+than 256 bytes,
+as an implementation can refuse to accept such REs and remain
+POSIX-compliant.
+.PP
+Obsolete ("basic") regular expressions differ in several respects.
+\[aq]|\[aq], \[aq]+\[aq], and \[aq]?\[aq] are
+ordinary characters and there is no equivalent
+for their functionality.
+The delimiters for bounds are "\fI\e{\fP" and "\fI\e}\fP",
+with \[aq]{\[aq] and \[aq]}\[aq] by themselves ordinary characters.
+The parentheses for nested subexpressions are "\fI\e(\fP" and "\fI\e)\fP",
+with \[aq](\[aq] and \[aq])\[aq] by themselves ordinary characters.
+\[aq]\[ha]\[aq] is an ordinary character except at the beginning of the
+RE or\*(dg the beginning of a parenthesized subexpression,
+\[aq]$\[aq] is an ordinary character except at the end of the
+RE or\*(dg the end of a parenthesized subexpression,
+and \[aq]*\[aq] is an ordinary character if it appears at the beginning of the
+RE or the beginning of a parenthesized subexpression
+(after a possible leading \[aq]\[ha]\[aq]).
+.PP
+Finally, there is one new type of atom, a \fIback reference\fR:
+\[aq]\e\[aq] followed by a nonzero decimal digit \fId\fR
+matches the same sequence of characters
+matched by the \fId\fRth parenthesized subexpression
+(numbering subexpressions by the positions of their opening parentheses,
+left to right),
+so that, for example, "\fI\e([bc]\e)\e1\fP" matches "bb" or "cc" but not "bc".
+.SH BUGS
+Having two kinds of REs is a botch.
+.PP
+The current POSIX.2 spec says that \[aq])\[aq] is an ordinary character in
+the absence of an unmatched \[aq](\[aq];
+this was an unintentional result of a wording error,
+and change is likely.
+Avoid relying on it.
+.PP
+Back references are a dreadful botch,
+posing major problems for efficient implementations.
+They are also somewhat vaguely defined
+(does
+"\fIa\e(\e(b\e)*\e2\e)*d\fP" match "abbbd"?).
+Avoid using them.
+.PP
+POSIX.2's specification of case-independent matching is vague.
+The "one case implies all cases" definition given above
+is current consensus among implementors as to the right interpretation.

+.SH NAME
+rtld\-audit \- auditing API for the dynamic linker
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.BR "#define _GNU_SOURCE" " /* See feature_test_macros(7) */"
+.B #include <link.h>
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The GNU dynamic linker (run-time linker)
+provides an auditing API that allows an application
+to be notified when various dynamic linking events occur.
+This API is very similar to the auditing interface provided by the
+Solaris run-time linker.
+The necessary constants and prototypes are defined by including
+.IR <link.h> .
+.PP
+To use this interface, the programmer creates a shared library
+that implements a standard set of function names.
+Not all of the functions need to be implemented: in most cases,
+if the programmer is not interested in a particular class of auditing event,
+then no implementation needs to be provided for the corresponding
+auditing function.
+.PP
+To employ the auditing interface, the environment variable
+.B LD_AUDIT
+must be defined to contain a colon-separated list of shared libraries,
+each of which can implement (parts of) the auditing API.
+When an auditable event occurs,
+the corresponding function is invoked in each library,
+in the order that the libraries are listed.
+.SS la_version()
+\&
+.nf
+.BI "unsigned int la_version(unsigned int " version );
+.fi
+.PP
+This is the only function that
+.I must
+be defined by an auditing library:
+it performs the initial handshake between the dynamic linker and
+the auditing library.
+When invoking this function, the dynamic linker passes, in
+.IR version ,
+the highest version of the auditing interface that the linker supports.
+.PP
+A typical implementation of this function simply returns the constant
+.BR LAV_CURRENT ,
+which indicates the version of
+.I <link.h>
+that was used to build the audit module.
+If the dynamic linker does
+not support this version of the audit interface, it will refuse to
+activate this audit module.
+If the function returns zero, the dynamic
+linker also does not activate this audit module.
+.PP
+In order to enable backwards compatibility with older dynamic linkers,
+an audit module can examine the
+.I version
+argument and return an earlier version than
+.BR LAV_CURRENT ,
+assuming the module can adjust its implementation to match the
+requirements of the previous version of the audit interface.
+The
+.B la_version
+function should not return the value of
+.I version
+without further checks because it could correspond to an interface
+that does not match the
+.I <link.h>
+definitions used to build the audit module.
+.SS la_objsearch()
+\&
+.nf
+.BI "char *la_objsearch(const char *" name ", uintptr_t *" cookie ,
+.BI " unsigned int " flag );
+.fi
+.PP
+The dynamic linker invokes this function to inform the auditing library
+that it is about to search for a shared object.
+The
+.I name
+argument is the filename or pathname that is to be searched for.
+.I cookie
+identifies the shared object that initiated the search.
+.I flag
+is set to one of the following values:
+.TP 17
+.B LA_SER_ORIG
+This is the original name that is being searched for.
+Typically, this name comes from an ELF
+.B DT_NEEDED
+entry, or is the
+.I filename
+argument given to
+.BR dlopen (3).
+.TP
+.B LA_SER_LIBPATH
+.I name
+was created using a directory specified in
+.BR LD_LIBRARY_PATH .
+.TP
+.B LA_SER_RUNPATH
+.I name
+was created using a directory specified in an ELF
+.B DT_RPATH
+or
+.B DT_RUNPATH
+list.
+.TP
+.B LA_SER_CONFIG
+.I name
+was found via the
+.BR ldconfig (8)
+cache
+.RI ( /etc/ld.so.cache ).
+.TP
+.B LA_SER_DEFAULT
+.I name
+was found via a search of one of the default directories.
+.TP
+.B LA_SER_SECURE
+.I name
+is specific to a secure object (unused on Linux).
+.PP
+As its function result,
+.BR la_objsearch ()
+returns the pathname that the dynamic linker should use
+for further processing.
+If NULL is returned, then this pathname is ignored for further processing.
+If this audit library simply intends to monitor search paths, then
+.I name
+should be returned.
+.SS la_activity()
+\&
+.nf
+.BI "void la_activity( uintptr_t *" cookie ", unsigned int "flag );
+.fi
+.PP
+The dynamic linker calls this function to inform the auditing library
+that link-map activity is occurring.
+.I cookie
+identifies the object at the head of the link map.
+When the dynamic linker invokes this function,
+.I flag
+is set to one of the following values:
+.TP 19
+.B LA_ACT_ADD
+New objects are being added to the link map.
+.TP
+.B LA_ACT_DELETE
+Objects are being removed from the link map.
+.TP
+.B LA_ACT_CONSISTENT
+Link-map activity has been completed: the map is once again consistent.
+.SS la_objopen()
+\&
+.nf
+.BI "unsigned int la_objopen(struct link_map *" map ", Lmid_t " lmid ,
+.BI " uintptr_t *" cookie );
+.fi
+.PP
+The dynamic linker calls this function when a new shared object is loaded.
+The
+.I map
+argument is a pointer to a link-map structure that describes the object.
+The
+.I lmid
+field has one of the following values
+.TP 17
+.B LM_ID_BASE
+Link map is part of the initial namespace.
+.TP
+.B LM_ID_NEWLM
+Link map is part of a new namespace requested via
+.BR dlmopen (3).
+.PP
+.I cookie
+is a pointer to an identifier for this object.
+The identifier is provided to later calls to functions
+in the auditing library in order to identify this object.
+This identifier is initialized to point to object's link map,
+but the audit library can change the identifier to some other value
+that it may prefer to use to identify the object.
+.PP
+As its return value,
+.BR la_objopen ()
+returns a bit mask created by ORing zero or more of the
+following constants,
+which allow the auditing library to select the objects to be monitored by
+.BR la_symbind* ():
+.TP 17
+.B LA_FLG_BINDTO
+Audit symbol bindings to this object.
+.TP
+.B LA_FLG_BINDFROM
+Audit symbol bindings from this object.
+.PP
+A return value of 0 from
+.BR la_objopen ()
+indicates that no symbol bindings should be audited for this object.
+.SS la_objclose()
+\&
+.nf
+.BI "unsigned int la_objclose(uintptr_t *" cookie );
+.fi
+.PP
+The dynamic linker invokes this function after any finalization
+code for the object has been executed,
+before the object is unloaded.
+The
+.I cookie
+argument is the identifier obtained from a previous invocation of
+.BR la_objopen ().
+.PP
+In the current implementation, the value returned by
+.BR la_objclose ()
+is ignored.
+.SS la_preinit()
+\&
+.nf
+.BI "void la_preinit(uintptr_t *" cookie );
+.fi
+.PP
+The dynamic linker invokes this function after all shared objects
+have been loaded, before control is passed to the application
+(i.e., before calling
+.IR main ()).
+Note that
+.IR main ()
+may still later dynamically load objects using
+.BR dlopen (3).
+.SS la_symbind*()
+\&
+.nf
+.BI "uintptr_t la_symbind32(Elf32_Sym *" sym ", unsigned int " ndx ,

+.PP
+The dynamic linker invokes one of these functions
+when a symbol binding occurs between two shared objects
+that have been marked for auditing notification by
+.BR la_objopen ().
+The
+.BR la_symbind32 ()
+function is employed on 32-bit platforms;
+the
+.BR la_symbind64 ()
+function is employed on 64-bit platforms.
+.PP
+The
+.I sym
+argument is a pointer to a structure
+that provides information about the symbol being bound.
+The structure definition is shown in
+.IR <elf.h> .
+Among the fields of this structure,
+.I st_value
+indicates the address to which the symbol is bound.
+.PP
+The
+.I ndx
+argument gives the index of the symbol in the symbol table
+of the bound shared object.
+.PP
+The
+.I refcook
+argument identifies the shared object that is making the symbol reference;
+this is the same identifier that is provided to the
+.BR la_objopen ()
+function that returned
+.BR LA_FLG_BINDFROM .
+The
+.I defcook
+argument identifies the shared object that defines the referenced symbol;
+this is the same identifier that is provided to the
+.BR la_objopen ()
+function that returned
+.BR LA_FLG_BINDTO .
+.PP
+The
+.I symname
+argument points a string containing the name of the symbol.
+.PP
+The
+.I flags
+argument is a bit mask that both provides information about the symbol
+and can be used to modify further auditing of this
+PLT (Procedure Linkage Table) entry.
+The dynamic linker may supply the following bit values in this argument:
+.\" LA_SYMB_STRUCTCALL appears to be unused
+.TP 22
+.B LA_SYMB_DLSYM
+The binding resulted from a call to
+.BR dlsym (3).
+.TP
+.B LA_SYMB_ALTVALUE
+A previous
+.BR la_symbind* ()
+call returned an alternate value for this symbol.
+.PP
+By default, if the auditing library implements
+.BR la_pltenter ()
+and
+.BR la_pltexit ()
+functions (see below), then these functions are invoked, after
+.BR la_symbind (),
+for PLT entries, each time the symbol is referenced.
+.\" pltenter/pltexit are called for non-dynamically loaded libraries,
+.\" but don't seem to be called for dynamically loaded libs?
+.\" Is this the same on Solaris?
+The following flags can be ORed into
+.I *flags
+to change this default behavior:
+.TP 22
+.B LA_SYMB_NOPLTENTER
+Don't call
+.BR la_pltenter ()
+for this symbol.
+.TP 22
+.B LA_SYMB_NOPLTEXIT
+Don't call
+.BR la_pltexit ()
+for this symbol.
+.PP
+The return value of
+.BR la_symbind32 ()
+and
+.BR la_symbind64 ()
+is the address to which control should be passed after the function returns.
+If the auditing library is simply monitoring symbol bindings,
+then it should return
+.IR sym\->st_value .
+A different value may be returned if the library wishes to direct control
+to an alternate location.
+.SS la_pltenter()
+The precise name and argument types for this function
+depend on the hardware platform.
+(The appropriate definition is supplied by

+.SH VERSIONS
+This API is very similar to the Solaris API
+described in the Solaris
+.IR "Linker and Libraries Guide" ,
+in the chapter
+.IR "Runtime Linker Auditing Interface" .
+.SH STANDARDS
+None.
+.SH NOTES
+Note the following differences from the Solaris dynamic linker
+auditing API:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The Solaris
+.BR la_objfilter ()
+interface is not supported by the GNU implementation.
+.IP \[bu]
+The Solaris
+.BR la_symbind32 ()
+and

+.SH NAME
+rtnetlink \- Linux routing socket
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <asm/types.h>
+.B #include <linux/netlink.h>
+.B #include <linux/rtnetlink.h>
+.B #include <sys/socket.h>
+.PP
+.BI "rtnetlink_socket = socket(AF_NETLINK, int " socket_type ", NETLINK_ROUTE);"
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Rtnetlink allows the kernel's routing tables to be read and altered.
+It is used within the kernel to communicate between
+various subsystems, though this usage is not documented here, and for
+communication with user-space programs.
+Network routes, IP addresses, link parameters, neighbor setups, queueing
+disciplines, traffic classes and packet classifiers may all be controlled
+through
+.B NETLINK_ROUTE
+sockets.
+It is based on netlink messages; see
+.BR netlink (7)
+for more information.
+.\" FIXME . ? all these macros could be moved to rtnetlink(3)
+.SS Routing attributes
+Some rtnetlink messages have optional attributes after the initial header:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct rtattr {
+ unsigned short rta_len; /* Length of option */
+ unsigned short rta_type; /* Type of option */
+ /* Data follows */
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+These attributes should be manipulated using only the RTA_* macros
+or libnetlink, see
+.BR rtnetlink (3).
+.SS Messages
+Rtnetlink consists of these message types
+(in addition to standard netlink messages):
+.TP
+.BR RTM_NEWLINK ", " RTM_DELLINK ", " RTM_GETLINK
+Create, remove, or get information about a specific network interface.
+These messages contain an
+.I ifinfomsg

+.\"
+.SS Scheduling policies
+The scheduler is the kernel component that decides which runnable thread
+will be executed by the CPU next.
+Each thread has an associated scheduling policy and a \fIstatic\fP
+scheduling priority,
+.IR sched_priority .
+The scheduler makes its decisions based on knowledge of the scheduling
+policy and static priority of all threads on the system.
+.PP
+For threads scheduled under one of the normal scheduling policies
+(\fBSCHED_OTHER\fP, \fBSCHED_IDLE\fP, \fBSCHED_BATCH\fP),
+\fIsched_priority\fP is not used in scheduling
+decisions (it must be specified as 0).
+.PP
+Processes scheduled under one of the real-time policies
+(\fBSCHED_FIFO\fP, \fBSCHED_RR\fP) have a
+\fIsched_priority\fP value in the range 1 (low) to 99 (high).
+(As the numbers imply, real-time threads always have higher priority
+than normal threads.)
+Note well: POSIX.1 requires an implementation to support only a
+minimum 32 distinct priority levels for the real-time policies,
+and some systems supply just this minimum.
+Portable programs should use
+.BR sched_get_priority_min (2)
+and
+.BR sched_get_priority_max (2)
+to find the range of priorities supported for a particular policy.
+.PP
+Conceptually, the scheduler maintains a list of runnable
+threads for each possible \fIsched_priority\fP value.
+In order to determine which thread runs next, the scheduler looks for
+the nonempty list with the highest static priority and selects the
+thread at the head of this list.
+.PP
+A thread's scheduling policy determines
+where it will be inserted into the list of threads
+with equal static priority and how it will move inside this list.
+.PP
+All scheduling is preemptive: if a thread with a higher static
+priority becomes ready to run, the currently running thread
+will be preempted and
+returned to the wait list for its static priority level.
+The scheduling policy determines the
+ordering only within the list of runnable threads with equal static
+priority.
+.SS SCHED_FIFO: First in-first out scheduling
+\fBSCHED_FIFO\fP can be used only with static priorities higher than
+0, which means that when a \fBSCHED_FIFO\fP thread becomes runnable,
+it will always immediately preempt any currently running
+\fBSCHED_OTHER\fP, \fBSCHED_BATCH\fP, or \fBSCHED_IDLE\fP thread.
+\fBSCHED_FIFO\fP is a simple scheduling
+algorithm without time slicing.
+For threads scheduled under the
+\fBSCHED_FIFO\fP policy, the following rules apply:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+A running \fBSCHED_FIFO\fP thread that has been preempted by another thread of
+higher priority will stay at the head of the list for its priority and
+will resume execution as soon as all threads of higher priority are

+.SS SCHED_DEADLINE: Sporadic task model deadline scheduling
+Since Linux 3.14, Linux provides a deadline scheduling policy
+.RB ( SCHED_DEADLINE ).
+This policy is currently implemented using
+GEDF (Global Earliest Deadline First)
+in conjunction with CBS (Constant Bandwidth Server).
+To set and fetch this policy and associated attributes,
+one must use the Linux-specific
+.BR sched_setattr (2)
+and
+.BR sched_getattr (2)
+system calls.
+.PP
+A sporadic task is one that has a sequence of jobs, where each
+job is activated at most once per period.
+Each job also has a
+.IR "relative deadline" ,
+before which it should finish execution, and a
+.IR "computation time" ,
+which is the CPU time necessary for executing the job.
+The moment when a task wakes up
+because a new job has to be executed is called the
+.I arrival time
+(also referred to as the request time or release time).
+The
+.I start time
+is the time at which a task starts its execution.
+The
+.I absolute deadline
+is thus obtained by adding the relative deadline to the arrival time.
+.PP
+The following diagram clarifies these terms:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+arrival/wakeup absolute deadline
+ | start time |
+ | | |
+ v v v
+-----x--------xooooooooooooooooo--------x--------x---

+.PP
+When setting a
+.B SCHED_DEADLINE
+policy for a thread using
+.BR sched_setattr (2),
+one can specify three parameters:
+.IR Runtime ,
+.IR Deadline ,
+and
+.IR Period .
+These parameters do not necessarily correspond to the aforementioned terms:
+usual practice is to set Runtime to something bigger than the average
+computation time (or worst-case execution time for hard real-time tasks),
+Deadline to the relative deadline, and Period to the period of the task.
+Thus, for
+.B SCHED_DEADLINE
+scheduling, we have:
+.PP

+.IR sched_runtime ,
+.IR sched_deadline ,
+and

+fields of the
+.I sched_attr
+structure; see
+.BR sched_setattr (2).
+These fields express values in nanoseconds.
+.\" FIXME It looks as though specifying sched_period as 0 means

+The CBS guarantees non-interference between tasks, by throttling
+threads that attempt to over-run their specified Runtime.
+.PP
+To ensure deadline scheduling guarantees,
+the kernel must prevent situations where the set of
+.B SCHED_DEADLINE
+threads is not feasible (schedulable) within the given constraints.
+The kernel thus performs an admittance test when setting or changing
+.B SCHED_DEADLINE
+policy and attributes.
+This admission test calculates whether the change is feasible;
+if it is not,
+.BR sched_setattr (2)
+fails with the error
+.BR EBUSY .
+.PP
+For example, it is required (but not necessarily sufficient) for

+.SS SCHED_OTHER: Default Linux time-sharing scheduling
+\fBSCHED_OTHER\fP can be used at only static priority 0
+(i.e., threads under real-time policies always have priority over
+.B SCHED_OTHER
+processes).
+\fBSCHED_OTHER\fP is the standard Linux time-sharing scheduler that is
+intended for all threads that do not require the special
+real-time mechanisms.
+.PP
+The thread to run is chosen from the static
+priority 0 list based on a \fIdynamic\fP priority that is determined only
+inside this list.
+The dynamic priority is based on the nice value (see below)
+and is increased for each time quantum the thread is ready to run,
+but denied to run by the scheduler.
+This ensures fair progress among all \fBSCHED_OTHER\fP threads.
+.PP
+In the Linux kernel source code, the
+.B SCHED_OTHER
+policy is actually named
+.BR SCHED_NORMAL .
+.\"
+.SS The nice value
+The nice value is an attribute
+that can be used to influence the CPU scheduler to
+favor or disfavor a process in scheduling decisions.
+It affects the scheduling of
+.B SCHED_OTHER
+and
+.B SCHED_BATCH
+(see below) processes.
+The nice value can be modified using
+.BR nice (2),
+.BR setpriority (2),
+or
+.BR sched_setattr (2).
+.PP
+According to POSIX.1, the nice value is a per-process attribute;
+that is, the threads in a process should share a nice value.
+However, on Linux, the nice value is a per-thread attribute:
+different threads in the same process may have different nice values.
+.PP
+The range of the nice value
+varies across UNIX systems.
+On modern Linux, the range is \-20 (high priority) to +19 (low priority).
+On some other systems, the range is \-20..20.
+Very early Linux kernels (before Linux 2.0) had the range \-infinity..15.
+.\" Linux before 1.3.36 had \-infinity..15.
+.\" Since Linux 1.3.43, Linux has the range \-20..19.
+.PP
+The degree to which the nice value affects the relative scheduling of
+.B SCHED_OTHER
+processes likewise varies across UNIX systems and
+across Linux kernel versions.
+.PP
+With the advent of the CFS scheduler in Linux 2.6.23,
+Linux adopted an algorithm that causes
+relative differences in nice values to have a much stronger effect.
+In the current implementation, each unit of difference in the
+nice values of two processes results in a factor of 1.25
+in the degree to which the scheduler favors the higher priority process.
+This causes very low nice values (+19) to truly provide little CPU
+to a process whenever there is any other
+higher priority load on the system,
+and makes high nice values (\-20) deliver most of the CPU to applications
+that require it (e.g., some audio applications).
+.PP
+On Linux, the
+.B RLIMIT_NICE
+resource limit can be used to define a limit to which
+an unprivileged process's nice value can be raised; see
+.BR setrlimit (2)
+for details.
+.PP

+the autogroup feature and group scheduling, below.
+.\"
+.SS SCHED_BATCH: Scheduling batch processes
+(Since Linux 2.6.16.)
+\fBSCHED_BATCH\fP can be used only at static priority 0.
+This policy is similar to \fBSCHED_OTHER\fP in that it schedules
+the thread according to its dynamic priority
+(based on the nice value).
+The difference is that this policy
+will cause the scheduler to always assume
+that the thread is CPU-intensive.
+Consequently, the scheduler will apply a small scheduling
+penalty with respect to wakeup behavior,
+so that this thread is mildly disfavored in scheduling decisions.

+Before Linux 2.6.12, only privileged

+The only change that an unprivileged thread can make is to set the
+.B SCHED_OTHER
+policy, and this can be done only if the effective user ID of the caller
+matches the real or effective user ID of the target thread
+(i.e., the thread specified by
+.IR pid )
+whose policy is being changed.
+.PP
+A thread must be privileged
+.RB ( CAP_SYS_NICE )
+in order to set or modify a
+.B SCHED_DEADLINE
+policy.
+.PP
+Since Linux 2.6.12, the
+.B RLIMIT_RTPRIO
+resource limit defines a ceiling on an unprivileged thread's
+static priority for the
+.B SCHED_RR
+and
+.B SCHED_FIFO
+policies.
+The rules for changing scheduling policy and priority are as follows:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+If an unprivileged thread has a nonzero
+.B RLIMIT_RTPRIO
+soft limit, then it can change its scheduling policy and priority,
+subject to the restriction that the priority cannot be set to a
+value higher than the maximum of its current priority and its
+.B RLIMIT_RTPRIO
+soft limit.
+.IP \[bu]
+If the
+.B RLIMIT_RTPRIO
+soft limit is 0, then the only permitted changes are to lower the priority,
+or to switch to a non-real-time policy.
+.IP \[bu]
+Subject to the same rules,
+another unprivileged thread can also make these changes,
+as long as the effective user ID of the thread making the change
+matches the real or effective user ID of the target thread.
+.IP \[bu]
+Special rules apply for the
+.B SCHED_IDLE
+policy.
+Before Linux 2.6.39,
+an unprivileged thread operating under this policy cannot
+change its policy, regardless of the value of its
+.B RLIMIT_RTPRIO
+resource limit.
+Since Linux 2.6.39,
+.\" commit c02aa73b1d18e43cfd79c2f193b225e84ca497c8

+resource limit (see

+A nonblocking infinite loop in a thread scheduled under the
+.BR SCHED_FIFO ,

+.B SCHED_DEADLINE
+policy can potentially block all other threads from accessing
+the CPU forever.
+Before Linux 2.6.25, the only way of preventing a runaway real-time
+process from freezing the system was to run (at the console)
+a shell scheduled under a higher static priority than the tested application.
+This allows an emergency kill of tested
+real-time applications that do not block or terminate as expected.
+.PP
+Since Linux 2.6.25, there are other techniques for dealing with runaway
+real-time and deadline processes.
+One of these is to use the
+.B RLIMIT_RTTIME
+resource limit to set a ceiling on the CPU time that
+a real-time process may consume.
+See
+.BR getrlimit (2)
+for details.
+.PP
+Since Linux 2.6.25, Linux also provides two
+.I /proc
+files that can be used to reserve a certain amount of CPU time
+to be used by non-real-time processes.
+Reserving CPU time in this fashion allows some CPU time to be
+allocated to (say) a root shell that can be used to kill a runaway process.
+Both of these files specify time values in microseconds:
+.TP
+.I /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_period_us
+This file specifies a scheduling period that is equivalent to
+100% CPU bandwidth.
+The value in this file can range from 1 to
+.BR INT_MAX ,
+giving an operating range of 1 microsecond to around 35 minutes.
+The default value in this file is 1,000,000 (1 second).
+.TP
+.I /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
+The value in this file specifies how much of the "period" time
+can be used by all real-time and deadline scheduled processes
+on the system.
+The value in this file can range from \-1 to
+.BR INT_MAX \-1.
+Specifying \-1 makes the run time the same as the period;
+that is, no CPU time is set aside for non-real-time processes
+(which was the behavior before Linux 2.6.25).
+The default value in this file is 950,000 (0.95 seconds),
+meaning that 5% of the CPU time is reserved for processes that
+don't run under a real-time or deadline scheduling policy.
+.SS Response time
+A blocked high priority thread waiting for I/O has a certain

+.SS The autogroup feature
+.\" commit 5091faa449ee0b7d73bc296a93bca9540fc51d0a
+Since Linux 2.6.38,
+the kernel provides a feature known as autogrouping to improve interactive
+desktop performance in the face of multiprocess, CPU-intensive
+workloads such as building the Linux kernel with large numbers of
+parallel build processes (i.e., the
+.BR make (1)
+.B \-j
+flag).
+.PP
+This feature operates in conjunction with the
+CFS scheduler and requires a kernel that is configured with
+.BR CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP .
+On a running system, this feature is enabled or disabled via the file
+.IR /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled ;
+a value of 0 disables the feature, while a value of 1 enables it.
+The default value in this file is 1, unless the kernel was booted with the
+.I noautogroup
+parameter.
+.PP
+A new autogroup is created when a new session is created via
+.BR setsid (2);
+this happens, for example, when a new terminal window is started.
+A new process created by
+.BR fork (2)
+inherits its parent's autogroup membership.
+Thus, all of the processes in a session are members of the same autogroup.
+An autogroup is automatically destroyed when the last process
+in the group terminates.
+.PP
+When autogrouping is enabled, all of the members of an autogroup
+are placed in the same kernel scheduler "task group".
+The CFS scheduler employs an algorithm that equalizes the
+distribution of CPU cycles across task groups.
+The benefits of this for interactive desktop performance
+can be described via the following example.
+.PP
+Suppose that there are two autogroups competing for the same CPU
+(i.e., presume either a single CPU system or the use of
+.BR taskset (1)
+to confine all the processes to the same CPU on an SMP system).
+The first group contains ten CPU-bound processes from
+a kernel build started with
+.IR "make\~\-j10" .
+The other contains a single CPU-bound process: a video player.
+The effect of autogrouping is that the two groups will
+each receive half of the CPU cycles.
+That is, the video player will receive 50% of the CPU cycles,
+rather than just 9% of the cycles,
+which would likely lead to degraded video playback.
+The situation on an SMP system is more complex,
+.\" Mike Galbraith, 25 Nov 2016:
+.\" I'd say something more wishy-washy here, like cycles are
+.\" distributed fairly across groups and leave it at that, as your
+.\" detailed example is incorrect due to SMP fairness (which I don't
+.\" like much because [very unlikely] worst case scenario
+.\" renders a box sized group incapable of utilizing more that
+.\" a single CPU total). For example, if a group of NR_CPUS
+.\" size competes with a singleton, load balancing will try to give
+.\" the singleton a full CPU of its very own. If groups intersect for
+.\" whatever reason on say my quad lappy, distribution is 80/20 in
+.\" favor of the singleton.
+but the general effect is the same:
+the scheduler distributes CPU cycles across task groups such that
+an autogroup that contains a large number of CPU-bound processes
+does not end up hogging CPU cycles at the expense of the other
+jobs on the system.
+.PP
+A process's autogroup (task group) membership can be viewed via the file

+.PP
+.in +4n

+$ \fBcat /proc/1/autogroup\fP
+/autogroup\-1 nice 0
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+This file can also be used to modify the CPU bandwidth allocated
+to an autogroup.
+This is done by writing a number in the "nice" range to the file
+to set the autogroup's nice value.
+The allowed range is from +19 (low priority) to \-20 (high priority).
+(Writing values outside of this range causes

+.SS The nice value and group scheduling
+When scheduling non-real-time processes (i.e., those scheduled under the
+.BR SCHED_OTHER ,
+.BR SCHED_BATCH ,
+and
+.B SCHED_IDLE
+policies), the CFS scheduler employs a technique known as "group scheduling",
+if the kernel was configured with the
+.B CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED
+option (which is typical).
+.PP
+Under group scheduling, threads are scheduled in "task groups".
+Task groups have a hierarchical relationship,
+rooted under the initial task group on the system,
+known as the "root task group".
+Task groups are formed in the following circumstances:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+All of the threads in a CPU cgroup form a task group.
+The parent of this task group is the task group of the
+corresponding parent cgroup.
+.IP \[bu]
+If autogrouping is enabled,
+then all of the threads that are (implicitly) placed in an autogroup
+(i.e., the same session, as created by
+.BR setsid (2))
+form a task group.
+Each new autogroup is thus a separate task group.
+The root task group is the parent of all such autogroups.
+.IP \[bu]
+If autogrouping is enabled, then the root task group consists of
+all processes in the root CPU cgroup that were not
+otherwise implicitly placed into a new autogroup.
+.IP \[bu]
+If autogrouping is disabled, then the root task group consists of
+all processes in the root CPU cgroup.
+.IP \[bu]
+If group scheduling was disabled (i.e., the kernel was configured without
+.BR CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED ),
+then all of the processes on the system are notionally placed
+in a single task group.
+.PP
+Under group scheduling,
+a thread's nice value has an effect for scheduling decisions
+.IR "only relative to other threads in the same task group" .
+This has some surprising consequences in terms of the traditional semantics
+of the nice value on UNIX systems.
+In particular, if autogrouping
+is enabled (which is the default in various distributions), then employing
+.BR setpriority (2)
+or
+.BR nice (1)
+on a process has an effect only for scheduling relative
+to other processes executed in the same session
+(typically: the same terminal window).
+.PP
+Conversely, for two processes that are (for example)
+the sole CPU-bound processes in different sessions
+(e.g., different terminal windows,
+each of whose jobs are tied to different autogroups),
+.I modifying the nice value of the process in one of the sessions
+.I has no effect
+in terms of the scheduler's decisions relative to the
+process in the other session.
+.\" More succinctly: the nice(1) command is in many cases a no-op since

+.SS Real-time features in the mainline Linux kernel
+.\" FIXME . Probably this text will need some minor tweaking
+.\" ask Carsten Emde about this.
+Since Linux 2.6.18, Linux is gradually
+becoming equipped with real-time capabilities,
+most of which are derived from the former
+.I realtime\-preempt
+patch set.
+Until the patches have been completely merged into the
+mainline kernel,
+they must be installed to achieve the best real-time performance.
+These patches are named:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+patch\-\fIkernelversion\fP\-rt\fIpatchversion\fP
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+and can be downloaded from
+.UR http://www.kernel.org\:/pub\:/linux\:/kernel\:/projects\:/rt/
+.UE .
+.PP
+Without the patches and prior to their full inclusion into the mainline
+kernel, the kernel configuration offers only the three preemption classes
+.BR CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE ,
+.BR CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY ,
+and
+.B CONFIG_PREEMPT_DESKTOP
+which respectively provide no, some, and considerable
+reduction of the worst-case scheduling latency.
+.PP
+With the patches applied or after their full inclusion into the mainline
+kernel, the additional configuration item
+.B CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT
+becomes available.
+If this is selected, Linux is transformed into a regular
+real-time operating system.
+The FIFO and RR scheduling policies are then used to run a thread
+with true real-time priority and a minimum worst-case scheduling latency.
+.SH NOTES
+The
+.BR cgroups (7)
+CPU controller can be used to limit the CPU consumption of
+groups of processes.
+.PP
+Originally, Standard Linux was intended as a general-purpose operating
+system being able to handle background processes, interactive
+applications, and less demanding real-time applications (applications that
+need to usually meet timing deadlines).
+Although the Linux 2.6
+allowed for kernel preemption and the newly introduced O(1) scheduler
+ensures that the time needed to schedule is fixed and deterministic
+irrespective of the number of active tasks, true real-time computing
+was not possible up to Linux 2.6.17.

+.SH NAME
+sem_overview \- overview of POSIX semaphores
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+POSIX semaphores allow processes and threads to synchronize their actions.
+.PP
+A semaphore is an integer whose value is never allowed to fall below zero.
+Two operations can be performed on semaphores:
+increment the semaphore value by one
+.RB ( sem_post (3));
+and decrement the semaphore value by one
+.RB ( sem_wait (3)).
+If the value of a semaphore is currently zero, then a
+.BR sem_wait (3)
+operation will block until the value becomes greater than zero.
+.PP
+POSIX semaphores come in two forms: named semaphores and
+unnamed semaphores.
+.TP
+.B Named semaphores
+A named semaphore is identified by a name of the form
+.IR /somename ;
+that is, a null-terminated string of up to
+.BI NAME_MAX \-4
+(i.e., 251) characters consisting of an initial slash,
+.\" glibc allows the initial slash to be omitted, and makes
+.\" multiple initial slashes equivalent to a single slash.
+.\" This differs from the implementation of POSIX message queues.
+followed by one or more characters, none of which are slashes.
+.\" glibc allows subdirectory components in the name, in which
+.\" case the subdirectory tree must exist under /dev/shm, and
+.\" the fist subdirectory component must exist as the name
+.\" sem.name, and all of the subdirectory components must allow the
+.\" required permissions if a user wants to create a semaphore
+.\" object in a subdirectory.
+Two processes can operate on the same named semaphore by passing
+the same name to
+.BR sem_open (3).
+.IP
+The
+.BR sem_open (3)
+function creates a new named semaphore or opens an existing
+named semaphore.
+After the semaphore has been opened, it can be operated on using
+.BR sem_post (3)
+and
+.BR sem_wait (3).
+When a process has finished using the semaphore, it can use
+.BR sem_close (3)
+to close the semaphore.
+When all processes have finished using the semaphore,
+it can be removed from the system using
+.BR sem_unlink (3).
+.TP
+.B Unnamed semaphores (memory-based semaphores)
+An unnamed semaphore does not have a name.
+Instead the semaphore is placed in a region of memory that
+is shared between multiple threads (a
+.IR "thread-shared semaphore" )
+or processes (a
+.IR "process-shared semaphore" ).
+A thread-shared semaphore is placed in an area of memory shared
+between the threads of a process, for example, a global variable.
+A process-shared semaphore must be placed in a shared memory region
+(e.g., a System V shared memory segment created using
+.BR shmget (2),
+or a POSIX shared memory object built created using
+.BR shm_open (3)).
+.IP
+Before being used, an unnamed semaphore must be initialized using
+.BR sem_init (3).
+It can then be operated on using
+.BR sem_post (3)
+and
+.BR sem_wait (3).
+When the semaphore is no longer required,
+and before the memory in which it is located is deallocated,
+the semaphore should be destroyed using
+.BR sem_destroy (3).
+.PP
+The remainder of this section describes some specific details
+of the Linux implementation of POSIX semaphores.
+.SS Versions
+Before Linux 2.6, Linux supported only unnamed,
+thread-shared semaphores.
+On a system with Linux 2.6 and a glibc that provides the NPTL
+threading implementation,
+a complete implementation of POSIX semaphores is provided.
+.SS Persistence
+POSIX named semaphores have kernel persistence:
+if not removed by
+.BR sem_unlink (3),
+a semaphore will exist until the system is shut down.
+.SS Linking
+Programs using the POSIX semaphores API must be compiled with
+.I cc \-pthread
+to link against the real-time library,
+.IR librt .
+.SS Accessing named semaphores via the filesystem
+On Linux, named semaphores are created in a virtual filesystem,
+normally mounted under
+.IR /dev/shm ,
+with names of the form
+.IR \fBsem.\fPsomename .
+(This is the reason that semaphore names are limited to
+.BI NAME_MAX \-4
+rather than
+.B NAME_MAX
+characters.)
+.PP
+Since Linux 2.6.19, ACLs can be placed on files under this directory,
+to control object permissions on a per-user and per-group basis.
+.SH NOTES
+System V semaphores
+.RB ( semget (2),
+.BR semop (2),
+etc.) are an older semaphore API.
+POSIX semaphores provide a simpler, and better designed interface than
+System V semaphores;
+on the other hand POSIX semaphores are less widely available
+(especially on older systems) than System V semaphores.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+An example of the use of various POSIX semaphore functions is shown in
+.BR sem_wait (3).

+.TH session-keyring 7 2023-03-12 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+session-keyring \- session shared process keyring
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The session keyring is a keyring used to anchor keys on behalf of a process.
+It is typically created by
+.BR pam_keyinit (8)
+when a user logs in and a link will be added that refers to the
+.BR user\-keyring (7).
+Optionally,
+.BR PAM (7)
+may revoke the session keyring on logout.
+(In typical configurations, PAM does do this revocation.)
+The session keyring has the name (description)
+.IR _ses .
+.PP
+A special serial number value,
+.BR KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING ,
+is defined that can be used in lieu of the actual serial number of
+the calling process's session keyring.
+.PP
+From the
+.BR keyctl (1)
+utility, '\fB@s\fP' can be used instead of a numeric key ID in
+much the same way.
+.PP
+A process's session keyring is inherited across
+.BR clone (2),
+.BR fork (2),
+and
+.BR vfork (2).
+The session keyring
+is preserved across
+.BR execve (2),
+even when the executable is set-user-ID or set-group-ID or has capabilities.
+The session keyring is destroyed when the last process that
+refers to it exits.
+.PP
+If a process doesn't have a session keyring when it is accessed, then,
+under certain circumstances, the
+.BR user\-session\-keyring (7)
+will be attached as the session keyring
+and under others a new session keyring will be created.
+(See
+.BR user\-session\-keyring (7)
+for further details.)
+.SS Special operations
+The
+.I keyutils
+library provides the following special operations for manipulating
+session keyrings:
+.TP
+.BR keyctl_join_session_keyring (3)
+This operation allows the caller to change the session keyring
+that it subscribes to.
+The caller can join an existing keyring with a specified name (description),
+create a new keyring with a given name,
+or ask the kernel to create a new "anonymous"
+session keyring with the name "_ses".
+(This function is an interface to the
+.BR keyctl (2)
+.B KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING
+operation.)
+.TP
+.BR keyctl_session_to_parent (3)
+This operation allows the caller to make the parent process's
+session keyring to the same as its own.
+For this to succeed, the parent process must have
+identical security attributes and must be single threaded.
+(This function is an interface to the
+.BR keyctl (2)
+.B KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT
+operation.)
+.PP
+These operations are also exposed through the
+.BR keyctl (1)
+utility as:

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The POSIX shared memory API allows processes to communicate information
+by sharing a region of memory.
+.PP
+The interfaces employed in the API are:
+.TP 15
+.BR shm_open (3)
+Create and open a new object, or open an existing object.
+This is analogous to
+.BR open (2).
+The call returns a file descriptor for use by the other
+interfaces listed below.
+.TP
+.BR ftruncate (2)
+Set the size of the shared memory object.
+(A newly created shared memory object has a length of zero.)
+.TP
+.BR mmap (2)
+Map the shared memory object into the virtual address space
+of the calling process.
+.TP
+.BR munmap (2)
+Unmap the shared memory object from the virtual address space
+of the calling process.
+.TP
+.BR shm_unlink (3)
+Remove a shared memory object name.
+.TP
+.BR close (2)
+Close the file descriptor allocated by
+.BR shm_open (3)
+when it is no longer needed.
+.TP
+.BR fstat (2)
+Obtain a
+.I stat
+structure that describes the shared memory object.
+Among the information returned by this call are the object's
+size
+.RI ( st_size ),
+permissions
+.RI ( st_mode ),
+owner
+.RI ( st_uid ),
+and group
+.RI ( st_gid ).
+.TP
+.BR fchown (2)
+To change the ownership of a shared memory object.
+.TP
+.BR fchmod (2)
+To change the permissions of a shared memory object.
+.SS Versions
+POSIX shared memory is supported since Linux 2.4 and glibc 2.2.
+.SS Persistence
+POSIX shared memory objects have kernel persistence:
+a shared memory object will exist until the system is shut down,
+or until all processes have unmapped the object and it has been deleted with
+.BR shm_unlink (3)
+.SS Linking
+Programs using the POSIX shared memory API must be compiled with
+.I cc \-lrt
+to link against the real-time library,
+.IR librt .
+.SS Accessing shared memory objects via the filesystem
+On Linux, shared memory objects are created in a
+.RB ( tmpfs (5))
+virtual filesystem, normally mounted under
+.IR /dev/shm .
+Since Linux 2.6.19, Linux supports the use of access control lists (ACLs)
+to control the permissions of objects in the virtual filesystem.
+.SH NOTES
+Typically, processes must synchronize their access to a shared
+memory object, using, for example, POSIX semaphores.
+.PP
+System V shared memory
+.RB ( shmget (2),
+.BR shmop (2),

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.I sigevent
+structure is used by various APIs
+to describe the way a process is to be notified about an event
+(e.g., completion of an asynchronous request, expiration of a timer,
+or the arrival of a message).
+.PP
+The definition shown in the SYNOPSIS is approximate:
+some of the fields in the
+.I sigevent
+structure may be defined as part of a union.
+Programs should employ only those fields relevant
+to the value specified in
+.IR sigev_notify .
+.PP
+The
+.I sigev_notify
+field specifies how notification is to be performed.
+This field can have one of the following values:
+.TP
+.B SIGEV_NONE
+A "null" notification: don't do anything when the event occurs.
+.TP
+.B SIGEV_SIGNAL
+Notify the process by sending the signal specified in
+.IR sigev_signo .
+.IP
+If the signal is caught with a signal handler that was registered using the
+.BR sigaction (2)
+.B SA_SIGINFO
+flag, then the following fields are set in the
+.I siginfo_t
+structure that is passed as the second argument of the handler:
+.RS
+.TP 10
+.I si_code
+This field is set to a value that depends on the API
+delivering the notification.
+.TP
+.I si_signo
+This field is set to the signal number (i.e., the same value as in
+.IR sigev_signo ).
+.TP
+.I si_value
+This field is set to the value specified in
+.IR sigev_value .
+.RE
+.IP
+Depending on the API, other fields may also be set in the
+.I siginfo_t
+structure.
+.IP
+The same information is also available if the signal is accepted using
+.BR sigwaitinfo (2).
+.TP
+.B SIGEV_THREAD
+Notify the process by invoking
+.I sigev_notify_function
+"as if" it were the start function of a new thread.
+(Among the implementation possibilities here are that
+each timer notification could result in the creation of a new thread,
+or that a single thread is created to receive all notifications.)
+The function is invoked with
+.I sigev_value
+as its sole argument.
+If
+.I sigev_notify_attributes
+is not NULL, it should point to a
+.I pthread_attr_t
+structure that defines attributes for the new thread (see
+.BR pthread_attr_init (3)).

+.TH signal-safety 7 2023-02-05 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+signal-safety \- async-signal-safe functions
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+An
+.I async-signal-safe
+function is one that can be safely called from within a signal handler.
+Many functions are
+.I not
+async-signal-safe.
+In particular,
+nonreentrant functions are generally unsafe to call from a signal handler.
+.PP
+The kinds of issues that render a function
+unsafe can be quickly understood when one considers
+the implementation of the
+.I stdio
+library, all of whose functions are not async-signal-safe.
+.PP
+When performing buffered I/O on a file, the
+.I stdio
+functions must maintain a statically allocated data buffer
+along with associated counters and indexes (or pointers)
+that record the amount of data and the current position in the buffer.
+Suppose that the main program is in the middle of a call to a
+.I stdio
+function such as
+.BR printf (3)
+where the buffer and associated variables have been partially updated.
+If, at that moment,
+the program is interrupted by a signal handler that also calls
+.BR printf (3),
+then the second call to
+.BR printf (3)
+will operate on inconsistent data, with unpredictable results.
+.PP
+To avoid problems with unsafe functions, there are two possible choices:
+.IP (a) 5
+Ensure that
+(1) the signal handler calls only async-signal-safe functions,
+and
+(2) the signal handler itself is reentrant
+with respect to global variables in the main program.
+.IP (b)
+Block signal delivery in the main program when calling functions
+that are unsafe or operating on global data that is also accessed
+by the signal handler.
+.PP
+Generally, the second choice is difficult in programs of any complexity,
+so the first choice is taken.
+.PP
+POSIX.1 specifies a set of functions that an implementation
+must make async-signal-safe.
+(An implementation may provide safe implementations of additional functions,
+but this is not required by the standard and other implementations
+may not provide the same guarantees.)
+.PP
+In general, a function is async-signal-safe either because it is reentrant
+or because it is atomic with respect to signals
+(i.e., its execution can't be interrupted by a signal handler).
+.PP
+The set of functions required to be async-signal-safe by POSIX.1
+is shown in the following table.
+The functions not otherwise noted were required to be async-signal-safe
+in POSIX.1-2001;
+the table details changes in the subsequent standards.

+.SH NAME
+signal \- overview of signals
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Linux supports both POSIX reliable signals (hereinafter
+"standard signals") and POSIX real-time signals.
+.SS Signal dispositions
+Each signal has a current
+.IR disposition ,
+which determines how the process behaves when it is delivered
+the signal.
+.PP
+The entries in the "Action" column of the table below specify
+the default disposition for each signal, as follows:
+.TP
+Term
+Default action is to terminate the process.
+.TP
+Ign
+Default action is to ignore the signal.
+.TP
+Core
+Default action is to terminate the process and dump core (see
+.BR core (5)).
+.TP
+Stop
+Default action is to stop the process.
+.TP
+Cont
+Default action is to continue the process if it is currently stopped.
+.PP
+A process can change the disposition of a signal using
+.BR sigaction (2)
+or
+.BR signal (2).
+(The latter is less portable when establishing a signal handler;
+see
+.BR signal (2)
+for details.)
+Using these system calls, a process can elect one of the
+following behaviors to occur on delivery of the signal:
+perform the default action; ignore the signal;
+or catch the signal with a
+.IR "signal handler" ,
+a programmer-defined function that is automatically invoked
+when the signal is delivered.
+.PP
+By default, a signal handler is invoked on the
+normal process stack.
+It is possible to arrange that the signal handler
+uses an alternate stack; see
+.BR sigaltstack (2)
+for a discussion of how to do this and when it might be useful.
+.PP
+The signal disposition is a per-process attribute:
+in a multithreaded application, the disposition of a
+particular signal is the same for all threads.
+.PP
+A child created via
+.BR fork (2)
+inherits a copy of its parent's signal dispositions.
+During an
+.BR execve (2),
+the dispositions of handled signals are reset to the default;
+the dispositions of ignored signals are left unchanged.
+.SS Sending a signal
+The following system calls and library functions allow
+the caller to send a signal:
+.TP
+.BR raise (3)
+Sends a signal to the calling thread.
+.TP
+.BR kill (2)
+Sends a signal to a specified process,
+to all members of a specified process group,
+or to all processes on the system.
+.TP
+.BR pidfd_send_signal (2)
+Sends a signal to a process identified by a PID file descriptor.
+.TP
+.BR killpg (3)
+Sends a signal to all of the members of a specified process group.
+.TP
+.BR pthread_kill (3)
+Sends a signal to a specified POSIX thread in the same process as
+the caller.
+.TP
+.BR tgkill (2)
+Sends a signal to a specified thread within a specific process.
+(This is the system call used to implement
+.BR pthread_kill (3).)
+.TP
+.BR sigqueue (3)
+Sends a real-time signal with accompanying data to a specified process.
+.SS Waiting for a signal to be caught
+The following system calls suspend execution of the calling
+thread until a signal is caught
+(or an unhandled signal terminates the process):
+.TP
+.BR pause (2)
+Suspends execution until any signal is caught.
+.TP
+.BR sigsuspend (2)
+Temporarily changes the signal mask (see below) and suspends
+execution until one of the unmasked signals is caught.
+.\"
+.SS Synchronously accepting a signal
+Rather than asynchronously catching a signal via a signal handler,
+it is possible to synchronously accept the signal, that is,
+to block execution until the signal is delivered,
+at which point the kernel returns information about the
+signal to the caller.
+There are two general ways to do this:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+.BR sigwaitinfo (2),
+.BR sigtimedwait (2),
+and
+.BR sigwait (3)
+suspend execution until one of the signals in a specified
+set is delivered.
+Each of these calls returns information about the delivered signal.
+.IP \[bu]
+.BR signalfd (2)
+returns a file descriptor that can be used to read information
+about signals that are delivered to the caller.
+Each
+.BR read (2)
+from this file descriptor blocks until one of the signals
+in the set specified in the
+.BR signalfd (2)
+call is delivered to the caller.
+The buffer returned by
+.BR read (2)
+contains a structure describing the signal.
+.SS Signal mask and pending signals
+A signal may be
+.IR blocked ,
+which means that it will not be delivered until it is later unblocked.
+Between the time when it is generated and when it is delivered
+a signal is said to be
+.IR pending .
+.PP
+Each thread in a process has an independent
+.IR "signal mask" ,
+which indicates the set of signals that the thread is currently blocking.
+A thread can manipulate its signal mask using
+.BR pthread_sigmask (3).
+In a traditional single-threaded application,
+.BR sigprocmask (2)
+can be used to manipulate the signal mask.
+.PP
+A child created via
+.BR fork (2)
+inherits a copy of its parent's signal mask;
+the signal mask is preserved across
+.BR execve (2).
+.PP
+A signal may be process-directed or thread-directed.
+A process-directed signal is one that is targeted at (and thus pending for)
+the process as a whole.
+A signal may be process-directed
+because it was generated by the kernel for reasons
+other than a hardware exception, or because it was sent using
+.BR kill (2)
+or
+.BR sigqueue (3).
+A thread-directed signal is one that is targeted at a specific thread.
+A signal may be thread-directed because it was generated as a consequence
+of executing a specific machine-language instruction
+that triggered a hardware exception (e.g.,
+.B SIGSEGV
+for an invalid memory access, or
+.B SIGFPE
+for a math error), or because it was
+targeted at a specific thread using
+interfaces such as
+.BR tgkill (2)
+or
+.BR pthread_kill (3).
+.PP
+A process-directed signal may be delivered to any one of the
+threads that does not currently have the signal blocked.
+.\" Joseph C. Sible notes:
+.\" On Linux, if the main thread has the signal unblocked, then the kernel
+.\" will always deliver the signal there, citing this kernel code
+.\"
+.\" Per this comment in kernel/signal.c since time immemorial:
+.\"
+.\" /*
+.\" * Now find a thread we can wake up to take the signal off the queue.
+.\" *
+.\" * If the main thread wants the signal, it gets first crack.
+.\" * Probably the least surprising to the average bear.
+.\" */
+.\"
+.\" But this does not mean the signal will be delivered only in the
+.\" main thread, since if a handler is already executing in the main thread
+.\" (and thus the signal is blocked in that thread), then a further
+.\" might be delivered in a different thread.
+.\"
+If more than one of the threads has the signal unblocked, then the
+kernel chooses an arbitrary thread to which to deliver the signal.
+.PP
+A thread can obtain the set of signals that it currently has pending
+using
+.BR sigpending (2).
+This set will consist of the union of the set of pending
+process-directed signals and the set of signals pending for
+the calling thread.
+.PP
+A child created via
+.BR fork (2)
+initially has an empty pending signal set;
+the pending signal set is preserved across an
+.BR execve (2).
+.\"
+.SS Execution of signal handlers
+Whenever there is a transition from kernel-mode to user-mode execution
+(e.g., on return from a system call or scheduling of a thread onto the CPU),
+the kernel checks whether there is a pending unblocked signal
+for which the process has established a signal handler.
+If there is such a pending signal, the following steps occur:
+.IP (1) 5
+The kernel performs the necessary preparatory steps for execution of
+the signal handler:
+.RS
+.IP (1.1) 7
+The signal is removed from the set of pending signals.
+.IP (1.2)
+If the signal handler was installed by a call to
+.BR sigaction (2)
+that specified the
+.B SA_ONSTACK
+flag and the thread has defined an alternate signal stack (using
+.BR sigaltstack (2)),
+then that stack is installed.
+.IP (1.3)
+Various pieces of signal-related context are saved
+into a special frame that is created on the stack.
+The saved information includes:
+.RS
+.IP \[bu] 3
+the program counter register
+(i.e., the address of the next instruction in the main program that
+should be executed when the signal handler returns);
+.IP \[bu]
+architecture-specific register state required for resuming the
+interrupted program;
+.IP \[bu]
+the thread's current signal mask;
+.IP \[bu]
+the thread's alternate signal stack settings.
+.RE
+.IP
+(If the signal handler was installed using the
+.BR sigaction (2)
+.B SA_SIGINFO
+flag, then the above information is accessible via the
+.I ucontext_t
+object that is pointed to by the third argument of the signal handler.)
+.IP (1.4)
+Any signals specified in
+.I act\->sa_mask
+when registering the handler with
+.BR sigprocmask (2)
+are added to the thread's signal mask.
+The signal being delivered is also
+added to the signal mask, unless
+.B SA_NODEFER
+was specified when registering the handler.
+These signals are thus blocked while the handler executes.
+.RE
+.IP (2)
+The kernel constructs a frame for the signal handler on the stack.
+The kernel sets the program counter for the thread to point to the first
+instruction of the signal handler function,
+and configures the return address for that function to point to a piece
+of user-space code known as the signal trampoline (described in
+.BR sigreturn (2)).
+.IP (3)
+The kernel passes control back to user-space, where execution
+commences at the start of the signal handler function.
+.IP (4)
+When the signal handler returns, control passes to the signal trampoline code.
+.IP (5)
+The signal trampoline calls
+.BR sigreturn (2),
+a system call that uses the information in the stack frame created in step 1
+to restore the thread to its state before the signal handler was
+called.
+The thread's signal mask and alternate signal stack settings
+are restored as part of this procedure.
+Upon completion of the call to
+.BR sigreturn (2),
+the kernel transfers control back to user space,
+and the thread recommences execution at the point where it was
+interrupted by the signal handler.
+.PP
+Note that if the signal handler does not return
+(e.g., control is transferred out of the handler using
+.BR siglongjmp (3),
+or the handler executes a new program with
+.BR execve (2)),
+then the final step is not performed.
+In particular, in such scenarios it is the programmer's responsibility
+to restore the state of the signal mask (using
+.BR sigprocmask (2)),
+if it is desired to unblock the signals that were blocked on entry
+to the signal handler.
+(Note that
+.BR siglongjmp (3)
+may or may not restore the signal mask, depending on the
+.I savesigs
+value that was specified in the corresponding call to
+.BR sigsetjmp (3).)
+.PP
+From the kernel's point of view,
+execution of the signal handler code is exactly the same as the execution
+of any other user-space code.
+That is to say, the kernel does not record any special state information
+indicating that the thread is currently executing inside a signal handler.
+All necessary state information is maintained in user-space registers
+and the user-space stack.
+The depth to which nested signal handlers may be invoked is thus
+limited only by the user-space stack (and sensible software design!).

+the order in which the signals are delivered is unspecified.
+.PP
+Standard signals do not queue.
+If multiple instances of a standard signal are generated while
+that signal is blocked,
+then only one instance of the signal is marked as pending
+(and the signal will be delivered just once when it is unblocked).
+In the case where a standard signal is already pending, the
+.I siginfo_t
+structure (see
+.BR sigaction (2))
+associated with that signal is not overwritten
+on arrival of subsequent instances of the same signal.
+Thus, the process will receive the information
+associated with the first instance of the signal.
+.\"
+.SS Signal numbering for standard signals
+The numeric value for each signal is given in the table below.
+As shown in the table, many signals have different numeric values
+on different architectures.
+The first numeric value in each table row shows the signal number
+on x86, ARM, and most other architectures;
+the second value is for Alpha and SPARC; the third is for MIPS;
+and the last is for PARISC.
+A dash (\-) denotes that a signal is absent on the corresponding architecture.

+.SS Real-time signals
+Starting with Linux 2.2,
+Linux supports real-time signals as originally defined in the POSIX.1b
+real-time extensions (and now included in POSIX.1-2001).
+The range of supported real-time signals is defined by the macros
+.B SIGRTMIN
+and
+.BR SIGRTMAX .
+POSIX.1-2001 requires that an implementation support at least
+.B _POSIX_RTSIG_MAX
+(8) real-time signals.
+.PP
+The Linux kernel supports a range of 33 different real-time
+signals, numbered 32 to 64.
+However, the glibc POSIX threads implementation internally uses
+two (for NPTL) or three (for LinuxThreads) real-time signals
+(see
+.BR pthreads (7)),
+and adjusts the value of
+.B SIGRTMIN
+suitably (to 34 or 35).
+Because the range of available real-time signals varies according
+to the glibc threading implementation (and this variation can occur
+at run time according to the available kernel and glibc),
+and indeed the range of real-time signals varies across UNIX systems,
+programs should
+.IR "never refer to real-time signals using hard-coded numbers" ,
+but instead should always refer to real-time signals using the notation
+.BR SIGRTMIN +n,
+and include suitable (run-time) checks that
+.BR SIGRTMIN +n
+does not exceed
+.BR SIGRTMAX .
+.PP
+Unlike standard signals, real-time signals have no predefined meanings:
+the entire set of real-time signals can be used for application-defined
+purposes.
+.PP
+The default action for an unhandled real-time signal is to terminate the
+receiving process.
+.PP
+Real-time signals are distinguished by the following:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Multiple instances of real-time signals can be queued.
+By contrast, if multiple instances of a standard signal are delivered
+while that signal is currently blocked, then only one instance is queued.
+.IP \[bu]
+If the signal is sent using
+.BR sigqueue (3),
+an accompanying value (either an integer or a pointer) can be sent
+with the signal.
+If the receiving process establishes a handler for this signal using the
+.B SA_SIGINFO
+flag to
+.BR sigaction (2),
+then it can obtain this data via the
+.I si_value
+field of the
+.I siginfo_t
+structure passed as the second argument to the handler.
+Furthermore, the
+.I si_pid
+and
+.I si_uid
+fields of this structure can be used to obtain the PID
+and real user ID of the process sending the signal.
+.IP \[bu]
+Real-time signals are delivered in a guaranteed order.
+Multiple real-time signals of the same type are delivered in the order
+they were sent.
+If different real-time signals are sent to a process, they are delivered
+starting with the lowest-numbered signal.
+(I.e., low-numbered signals have highest priority.)
+By contrast, if multiple standard signals are pending for a process,
+the order in which they are delivered is unspecified.
+.PP
+If both standard and real-time signals are pending for a process,
+POSIX leaves it unspecified which is delivered first.
+Linux, like many other implementations, gives priority
+to standard signals in this case.
+.PP
+According to POSIX, an implementation should permit at least
+.B _POSIX_SIGQUEUE_MAX
+(32) real-time signals to be queued to
+a process.
+However, Linux does things differently.
+Up to and including Linux 2.6.7, Linux imposes
+a system-wide limit on the number of queued real-time signals
+for all processes.
+This limit can be viewed and (with privilege) changed via the
+.I /proc/sys/kernel/rtsig\-max
+file.
+A related file,
+.IR /proc/sys/kernel/rtsig\-nr ,
+can be used to find out how many real-time signals are currently queued.
+In Linux 2.6.8, these
+.I /proc
+interfaces were replaced by the
+.B RLIMIT_SIGPENDING
+resource limit, which specifies a per-user limit for queued
+signals; see
+.BR setrlimit (2)
+for further details.
+.PP
+The addition of real-time signals required the widening
+of the signal set structure
+.RI ( sigset_t )
+from 32 to 64 bits.
+Consequently, various system calls were superseded by new system calls
+that supported the larger signal sets.
+The old and new system calls are as follows:

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The sock_diag netlink subsystem provides a mechanism for obtaining
+information about sockets of various address families from the kernel.
+This subsystem can be used to obtain information about individual
+sockets or request a list of sockets.
+.PP
+In the request, the caller can specify additional information it would
+like to obtain about the socket, for example, memory information or
+information specific to the address family.
+.PP
+When requesting a list of sockets, the caller can specify filters that
+would be applied by the kernel to select a subset of sockets to report.
+For now, there is only the ability to filter sockets by state (connected,
+listening, and so on.)
+.PP
+Note that sock_diag reports only those sockets that have a name;
+that is, either sockets bound explicitly with
+.BR bind (2)
+or sockets that were automatically bound to an address (e.g., by
+.BR connect (2)).
+This is the same set of sockets that is available via
+.IR /proc/net/unix ,
+.IR /proc/net/tcp ,
+.IR /proc/net/udp ,
+and so on.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page describes the Linux networking socket layer user
+interface.
+The BSD compatible sockets
+are the uniform interface
+between the user process and the network protocol stacks in the kernel.
+The protocol modules are grouped into
+.I protocol families
+such as
+.BR AF_INET ", " AF_IPX ", and " AF_PACKET ,
+and
+.I socket types
+such as
+.B SOCK_STREAM
+or
+.BR SOCK_DGRAM .
+See
+.BR socket (2)
+for more information on families and types.
+.SS Socket-layer functions
+These functions are used by the user process to send or receive packets
+and to do other socket operations.
+For more information, see their respective manual pages.
+.PP
+.BR socket (2)
+creates a socket,
+.BR connect (2)
+connects a socket to a remote socket address,
+the
+.BR bind (2)
+function binds a socket to a local socket address,
+.BR listen (2)
+tells the socket that new connections shall be accepted, and
+.BR accept (2)
+is used to get a new socket with a new incoming connection.
+.BR socketpair (2)
+returns two connected anonymous sockets (implemented only for a few
+local families like
+.BR AF_UNIX )
+.PP
+.BR send (2),
+.BR sendto (2),
+and
+.BR sendmsg (2)
+send data over a socket, and
+.BR recv (2),
+.BR recvfrom (2),
+.BR recvmsg (2)
+receive data from a socket.
+.BR poll (2)
+and
+.BR select (2)
+wait for arriving data or a readiness to send data.
+In addition, the standard I/O operations like
+.BR write (2),
+.BR writev (2),
+.BR sendfile (2),
+.BR read (2),
+and
+.BR readv (2)
+can be used to read and write data.
+.PP
+.BR getsockname (2)
+returns the local socket address and
+.BR getpeername (2)
+returns the remote socket address.
+.BR getsockopt (2)
+and
+.BR setsockopt (2)
+are used to set or get socket layer or protocol options.
+.BR ioctl (2)
+can be used to set or read some other options.
+.PP
+.BR close (2)
+is used to close a socket.
+.BR shutdown (2)
+closes parts of a full-duplex socket connection.
+.PP
+Seeking, or calling
+.BR pread (2)
+or
+.BR pwrite (2)
+with a nonzero position is not supported on sockets.
+.PP
+It is possible to do nonblocking I/O on sockets by setting the
+.B O_NONBLOCK
+flag on a socket file descriptor using
+.BR fcntl (2).
+Then all operations that would block will (usually)
+return with
+.B EAGAIN
+(operation should be retried later);
+.BR connect (2)
+will return
+.B EINPROGRESS
+error.
+The user can then wait for various events via
+.BR poll (2)

+.PP
+An alternative to
+.BR poll (2)
+and
+.BR select (2)
+is to let the kernel inform the application about events
+via a

+signal.
+For that the
+.B O_ASYNC
+flag must be set on a socket file descriptor via
+.BR fcntl (2)
+and a valid signal handler for
+.B SIGIO
+must be installed via
+.BR sigaction (2).
+See the
+.I Signals
+discussion below.
+.SS Socket address structures
+Each socket domain has its own format for socket addresses,
+with a domain-specific address structure.
+Each of these structures begins with an
+integer "family" field (typed as
+.IR sa_family_t )
+that indicates the type of the address structure.
+This allows
+the various system calls (e.g.,
+.BR connect (2),
+.BR bind (2),
+.BR accept (2),
+.BR getsockname (2),
+.BR getpeername (2)),
+which are generic to all socket domains,
+to determine the domain of a particular socket address.
+.PP
+To allow any type of socket address to be passed to
+interfaces in the sockets API,
+the type
+.I struct sockaddr
+is defined.
+The purpose of this type is purely to allow casting of
+domain-specific socket address types to a "generic" type,
+so as to avoid compiler warnings about type mismatches in
+calls to the sockets API.
+.PP
+In addition, the sockets API provides the data type
+.IR "struct sockaddr_storage".
+This type
+is suitable to accommodate all supported domain-specific socket
+address structures; it is large enough and is aligned properly.
+(In particular, it is large enough to hold

+.RB ( SO_ATTACH_BPF )
+program to the socket for use as a filter of incoming packets.
+A packet will be dropped if the filter program returns zero.
+If the filter program returns a

+.IP
+When the option is set to a value greater than or equal to zero,

+In both cases,

+both CPU utilization and power usage.
+.SS Signals
+When writing onto a connection-oriented socket that has been shut down
+(by the local or the remote end)
+.B SIGPIPE
+is sent to the writing process and

+flag.
+.PP
+When requested with the
+.B FIOSETOWN
+.BR fcntl (2)
+or
+.B SIOCSPGRP
+.BR ioctl (2),
+.B SIGIO
+is sent when an I/O event occurs.
+It is possible to use
+.BR poll (2)
+or
+.BR select (2)
+in the signal handler to find out which socket the event occurred on.
+An alternative (in Linux 2.2) is to set a real-time signal using the
+.B F_SETSIG
+.BR fcntl (2);
+the handler of the real time signal will be called with
+the file descriptor in the
+.I si_fd
+field of its
+.IR siginfo_t .
+See
+.BR fcntl (2)
+for more information.
+.PP
+Under some circumstances (e.g., multiple processes accessing a
+single socket), the condition that caused the
+.B SIGIO
+may have already disappeared when the process reacts to the signal.
+If this happens, the process should wait again because Linux
+will resend the signal later.

+.SH NOTES
+Linux assumes that half of the send/receive buffer is used for internal

+files are twice what can be observed on the wire.
+.PP
+Linux will allow port reuse only with the
+.B SO_REUSEADDR
+option
+when this option was set both in the previous program that performed a
+.BR bind (2)
+to the port and in the program that wants to reuse the port.
+This differs from some implementations (e.g., FreeBSD)
+where only the later program needs to set the
+.B SO_REUSEADDR
+option.
+Typically this difference is invisible, since, for example, a server
+program is designed to always set this option.

+.SH NAME
+spufs \- SPU filesystem
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The SPU filesystem is used on PowerPC machines that implement the
+Cell Broadband Engine Architecture in order to access Synergistic
+Processor Units (SPUs).
+.PP
+The filesystem provides a name space similar to POSIX shared
+memory or message queues.
+Users that have write permissions
+on the filesystem can use
+.BR spu_create (2)
+to establish SPU contexts under the
+.B spufs
+root directory.
+.PP
+Every SPU context is represented by a directory containing
+a predefined set of files.
+These files can be
+used for manipulating the state of the logical SPU.
+Users can change permissions on the files, but can't
+add or remove files.
+.SS Mount options
+.TP
+.B uid=<uid>
+Set the user owning the mount point; the default is 0 (root).
+.TP
+.B gid=<gid>
+Set the group owning the mount point; the default is 0 (root).
+.TP
+.B mode=<mode>
+Set the mode of the top-level directory in
+.BR spufs ,
+as an octal mode string.
+The default is 0775.
+.SS Files
+The files in
+.B spufs
+mostly follow the standard behavior for regular system calls like
+.BR read (2)
+or
+.BR write (2),
+but often support only a subset of the operations
+supported on regular filesystems.
+This list details the supported
+operations and the deviations from the standard behavior described
+in the respective man pages.
+.PP
+All files that support the
+.BR read (2)
+operation also support
+.BR readv (2)
+and all files that support the
+.BR write (2)
+operation also support
+.BR writev (2).
+All files support the
+.BR access (2)
+and
+.BR stat (2)
+family of operations, but for the latter call,
+the only fields of the returned
+.I stat
+structure that contain reliable information are
+.IR st_mode ,
+.IR st_nlink ,
+.IR st_uid ,
+and
+.IR st_gid .
+.PP
+All files support the
+.BR chmod (2)/\c
+.BR fchmod (2)
+and
+.BR chown (2)/\c
+.BR fchown (2)
+operations, but will not be able to grant permissions that contradict
+the possible operations (e.g., read access on the
+.I wbox
+file).
+.PP
+The current set of files is:
+.TP
+.I /capabilities
+Contains a comma-delimited string representing the capabilities of this
+SPU context.
+Possible capabilities are:
+.RS
+.TP
+.B sched
+This context may be scheduled.
+.TP
+.B step
+This context can be run in single-step mode, for debugging.
+.PP
+New capabilities flags may be added in the future.
+.RE
+.TP
+.I /mem
+the contents of the local storage memory of the SPU.
+This can be accessed like a regular shared memory
+file and contains both code and data in the address
+space of the SPU.
+The possible operations on an open
+.I mem
+file are:
+.RS
+.TP
+.BR read "(2), " pread "(2), " write "(2), " pwrite "(2), " lseek (2)
+These operate as usual, with the exception that
+.BR lseek (2),
+.BR write (2),
+and
+.BR pwrite (2)
+are not supported beyond the end of the file.
+The file size
+is the size of the local storage of the SPU,
+which is normally 256 kilobytes.
+.TP
+.BR mmap (2)
+Mapping
+.I mem
+into the process address space provides access to the SPU local
+storage within the process address space.
+Only
+.B MAP_SHARED
+mappings are allowed.
+.RE
+.TP
+.I /regs
+Contains the saved general-purpose registers of the SPU context.
+This file contains the 128-bit values of each register,
+from register 0 to register 127, in order.
+This allows the general-purpose registers to be
+inspected for debugging.
+.IP
+Reading to or writing from this file requires that the context is
+scheduled out, so use of this file is not recommended in normal
+program operation.
+.IP
+The
+.I regs
+file is not present on contexts that have been created with the
+.B SPU_CREATE_NOSCHED
+flag.
+.TP
+.I /mbox
+The first SPU-to-CPU communication mailbox.
+This file is read-only and can be read in units of 4 bytes.
+The file can be used only in nonblocking mode \- even
+.BR poll (2)
+cannot be used to block on this file.
+The only possible operation on an open
+.I mbox
+file is:
+.RS
+.TP
+.BR read (2)
+If
+.I count
+is smaller than four,
+.BR read (2)
+returns \-1 and sets
+.I errno
+to
+.BR EINVAL .
+If there is no data available in the mailbox (i.e., the SPU has not
+sent a mailbox message), the return value is set to \-1 and
+.I errno
+is set to
+.BR EAGAIN .
+When data
+has been read successfully, four bytes are placed in
+the data buffer and the value four is returned.
+.RE
+.TP
+.I /ibox
+The second SPU-to-CPU communication mailbox.
+This file is similar to the first mailbox file, but can be read
+in blocking I/O mode, thus calling
+.BR read (2)
+on an open
+.I ibox
+file will block until the SPU has written data to its interrupt mailbox
+channel (unless the file has been opened with
+.BR O_NONBLOCK ,
+see below).
+Also,
+.BR poll (2)
+and similar system calls can be used to monitor for the presence
+of mailbox data.

+file returns
+.I "(POLLIN | POLLRDNORM)"
+whenever data is available for reading.
+.RE
+.TP
+.I /wbox
+The CPU-to-SPU communication mailbox.
+It is write-only and can be written in units of four bytes.
+If the mailbox is full,
+.BR write (2)
+will block, and
+.BR poll (2)
+can be used to block until the mailbox is available for writing again.
+The possible operations on an open
+.I wbox
+file are:

+.IP
+If there is no space available in the mailbox and the file

+.SH NAME
+standards \- C and UNIX Standards
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The STANDARDS section that appears in many manual pages identifies
+various standards to which the documented interface conforms.
+The following list briefly describes these standards.
+.TP
+.B V7
+Version 7 (also known as Seventh Edition) UNIX,
+released by AT&T/Bell Labs in 1979.
+After this point, UNIX systems diverged into two main dialects:
+BSD and System V.
+.TP
+.B 4.2BSD
+This is an implementation standard defined by the 4.2 release
+of the
+.IR "Berkeley Software Distribution",
+released by the University of California at Berkeley.
+This was the first Berkeley release that contained a TCP/IP
+stack and the sockets API.
+4.2BSD was released in 1983.
+.IP
+Earlier major BSD releases included
+.I 3BSD
+(1980),
+.I 4BSD
+(1980),
+and
+.I 4.1BSD
+(1981).
+.TP
+.B 4.3BSD
+The successor to 4.2BSD, released in 1986.
+.TP
+.B 4.4BSD
+The successor to 4.3BSD, released in 1993.
+This was the last major Berkeley release.
+.TP
+.B System V
+This is an implementation standard defined by AT&T's milestone 1983
+release of its commercial System V (five) release.
+The previous major AT&T release was
+.IR "System III" ,
+released in 1981.
+.TP
+.B System V release 2 (SVr2)
+This was the next System V release, made in 1985.
+The SVr2 was formally described in the
+.I "System V Interface Definition version 1"
+.RI ( "SVID 1" )
+published in 1985.
+.TP
+.B System V release 3 (SVr3)
+This was the successor to SVr2, released in 1986.
+This release was formally described in the
+.I "System V Interface Definition version 2"
+.RI ( "SVID 2" ).
+.TP
+.B System V release 4 (SVr4)
+This was the successor to SVr3, released in 1989.
+This version of System V is described in the "Programmer's Reference
+Manual: Operating System API (Intel processors)" (Prentice-Hall
+1992, ISBN 0-13-951294-2)
+This release was formally described in the
+.I "System V Interface Definition version 3"
+.RI ( "SVID 3" ),
+and is considered the definitive System V release.
+.TP
+.B SVID 4
+System V Interface Definition version 4, issued in 1995.

+.UR http://www.sco.com\:/developers\:/devspecs/
+.UE .
+.TP
+.B C89
+This was the first C language standard, ratified by ANSI
+(American National Standards Institute) in 1989
+.RI ( X3.159-1989 ).
+Sometimes this is known as
+.IR "ANSI C" ,
+but since C99 is also an
+ANSI standard, this term is ambiguous.
+This standard was also ratified by
+ISO (International Standards Organization) in 1990
+.RI ( "ISO/IEC 9899:1990" ),
+and is thus occasionally referred to as
+.IR "ISO C90" .
+.TP
+.B C99
+This revision of the C language standard was ratified by ISO in 1999
+.RI ( "ISO/IEC 9899:1999" ).
+Available online at
+.UR http://www.open\-std.org\:/jtc1\:/sc22\:/wg14\:/www\:/standards
+.UE .
+.TP
+.B C11
+This revision of the C language standard was ratified by ISO in 2011
+.RI ( "ISO/IEC 9899:2011" ).
+.TP
+.B LFS
+The Large File Summit specification, completed in 1996.
+This specification defined mechanisms that allowed 32-bit systems
+to support the use of large files (i.e., 64-bit file offsets).
+See
+.UR https://www.opengroup.org\:/platform\:/lfs.html
+.UE .
+.TP
+.B POSIX.1-1988
+This was the first POSIX standard,
+ratified by IEEE as IEEE Std 1003.1-1988,
+and subsequently adopted (with minor revisions) as an ISO standard in 1990.
+The term "POSIX" was coined by Richard Stallman.
+.TP
+.B POSIX.1-1990
+"Portable Operating System Interface for Computing Environments".
+IEEE 1003.1-1990 part 1, ratified by ISO in 1990
+.RI ( "ISO/IEC 9945-1:1990" ).
+.TP
+.B POSIX.2
+IEEE Std 1003.2-1992,
+describing commands and utilities, ratified by ISO in 1993
+.RI ( "ISO/IEC 9945-2:1993" ).
+.TP
+.BR POSIX.1b " (formerly known as \fIPOSIX.4\fP)"
+IEEE Std 1003.1b-1993,
+describing real-time facilities
+for portable operating systems, ratified by ISO in 1996
+.RI ( "ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996" ).
+.TP
+.BR POSIX.1c " (formerly known as \fIPOSIX.4a\fP)"
+IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, which describes the POSIX threads interfaces.
+.TP
+.B POSIX.1d
+IEEE Std 1003.1d-1999, which describes additional real-time extensions.
+.TP
+.B POSIX.1g
+IEEE Std 1003.1g-2000, which describes networking APIs (including sockets).
+.TP
+.B POSIX.1j
+IEEE Std 1003.1j-2000, which describes advanced real-time extensions.
+.TP
+.B POSIX.1-1996
+A 1996 revision of POSIX.1 which incorporated POSIX.1b and POSIX.1c.
+.TP
+.B XPG3
+Released in 1989, this was the first release of the X/Open
+Portability Guide to be based on a POSIX standard (POSIX.1-1988).
+This multivolume guide was developed by the X/Open Group,
+a multivendor consortium.
+.TP
+.B XPG4
+A revision of the X/Open Portability Guide, released in 1992.
+This revision incorporated POSIX.2.
+.TP
+.B XPG4v2
+A 1994 revision of XPG4.
+This is also referred to as
+.IR "Spec 1170" ,
+where 1170 referred to the number of interfaces
+defined by this standard.
+.TP
+.B "SUS (SUSv1)"
+Single UNIX Specification.
+This was a repackaging of XPG4v2 and other X/Open standards
+(X/Open Curses Issue 4 version 2,
+X/Open Networking Service (XNS) Issue 4).
+Systems conforming to this standard can be branded
+.IR "UNIX 95" .
+.TP
+.B SUSv2
+Single UNIX Specification version 2.
+Sometimes also referred to (incorrectly) as
+.IR XPG5 .
+This standard appeared in 1997.
+Systems conforming to this standard can be branded
+.IR "UNIX 98" .
+See also
+.UR http://www.unix.org\:/version2/
+.UE .)
+.TP
+.B POSIX.1-2001, SUSv3
+This was a 2001 revision and consolidation of the
+POSIX.1, POSIX.2, and SUS standards into a single document,
+conducted under the auspices of the Austin Group
+.UR http://www.opengroup.org\:/austin/
+.UE .
+The standard is available online at
+.UR http://www.unix.org\:/version3/
+.UE .
+.IP
+The standard defines two levels of conformance:
+.IR "POSIX conformance" ,
+which is a baseline set of interfaces required of a conforming system;
+and
+.IR "XSI Conformance",
+which additionally mandates a set of interfaces
+(the "XSI extension") which are only optional for POSIX conformance.
+XSI-conformant systems can be branded
+.IR "UNIX 03" .
+.IP
+The POSIX.1-2001 document is broken into four parts:
+.IP
+.BR XBD :
+Definitions, terms, and concepts, header file specifications.
+.IP
+.BR XSH :
+Specifications of functions (i.e., system calls and library
+functions in actual implementations).
+.IP
+.BR XCU :
+Specifications of commands and utilities
+(i.e., the area formerly described by POSIX.2).
+.IP
+.BR XRAT :
+Informative text on the other parts of the standard.
+.IP
+POSIX.1-2001 is aligned with C99, so that all of the
+library functions standardized in C99 are also
+standardized in POSIX.1-2001.
+.IP
+The Single UNIX Specification version 3 (SUSv3) comprises the
+Base Specifications containing XBD, XSH, XCU, and XRAT as above,
+plus X/Open Curses Issue 4 version 2 as an extra volume that is
+not in POSIX.1-2001.
+.IP
+Two Technical Corrigenda (minor fixes and improvements)
+of the original 2001 standard have occurred:
+TC1 in 2003
+and TC2 in 2004.
+.TP
+.B POSIX.1-2008, SUSv4
+Work on the next revision of POSIX.1/SUS was completed and
+ratified in 2008.
+The standard is available online at
+.UR http://www.unix.org\:/version4/
+.UE .
+.IP
+The changes in this revision are not as large as those
+that occurred for POSIX.1-2001/SUSv3,
+but a number of new interfaces are added
+and various details of existing specifications are modified.
+Many of the interfaces that were optional in
+POSIX.1-2001 become mandatory in the 2008 revision of the standard.
+A few interfaces that are present in POSIX.1-2001 are marked
+as obsolete in POSIX.1-2008, or removed from the standard altogether.
+.IP
+The revised standard is structured in the same way as its predecessor.
+The Single UNIX Specification version 4 (SUSv4) comprises the
+Base Specifications containing XBD, XSH, XCU, and XRAT,
+plus X/Open Curses Issue 7 as an extra volume that is
+not in POSIX.1-2008.
+.IP
+Again there are two levels of conformance: the baseline
+.IR "POSIX Conformance" ,
+and
+.IR "XSI Conformance" ,
+which mandates an additional set of interfaces
+beyond those in the base specification.
+.IP
+In general, where the STANDARDS section of a manual page
+lists POSIX.1-2001, it can be assumed that the interface also
+conforms to POSIX.1-2008, unless otherwise noted.
+.IP
+Technical Corrigendum 1 (minor fixes and improvements)
+of this standard was released in 2013.
+.IP
+Technical Corrigendum 2 of this standard was released in 2016.
+.IP
+Further information can be found on the Austin Group web site,
+.UR http://www.opengroup.org\:/austin/
+.UE .
+.TP
+.B SUSv4 2016 edition
+This is equivalent to POSIX.1-2008, with the addition of
+Technical Corrigenda 1 and 2 and the XCurses specification.
+.TP
+.B POSIX.1-2017
+This revision of POSIX is technically identical to POSIX.1-2008 with
+Technical Corrigenda 1 and 2 applied.
+.TP
+.B SUSv4 2018 edition
+This is equivalent to POSIX.1-2017, with the addition of
+the XCurses specification.
+.PP
+The interfaces documented in POSIX.1/SUS are available as
+manual pages under sections 0p (header files), 1p (commands),
+and 3p (functions);
+thus one can write "man 3p open".

+.TP
+.I character sequence

+.RE
+.\" ----- DESCRIPTION :: Terms (and abbreviations) :: length (len) ----/
+.TP
+.IR "length " ( len )

+.\" ----- DESCRIPTION :: Terms (and abbreviations) :: size (sz) -------/
+.TP

+.\" ----- DESCRIPTION :: Terms (and abbreviations) :: end -------------/
+.TP
+.I end
+is the name of a pointer to one past the last element of a buffer.
+It is equivalent to
+.IR &str[sz] .
+It is used as a sentinel value,
+to be able to truncate strings or character sequences
+instead of overrunning the containing buffer.
+.\" ----- DESCRIPTION :: Terms (and abbreviations) :: copy ------------/
+.TP
+.I copy
+This term is used when
+the writing starts at the first element pointed to by
+.IR dst .
+.\" ----- DESCRIPTION :: Terms (and abbreviations) :: catenate --------/
+.TP
+.I catenate
+This term is used when
+a function first finds the terminating null byte in
+.IR dst ,
+and then starts writing at that position.
+.\" ----- DESCRIPTION :: Terms (and abbreviations) :: chain -----------/
+.TP
+.I chain
+This term is used when
+it's the programmer who provides
+a pointer to the terminating null byte in the string
+.I dst
+(or one after the last character in a character sequence),
+and the function starts writing at that location.
+The function returns
+a pointer to the new location of the terminating null byte
+(or one after the last character in a character sequence)
+after the call,
+so that the programmer can use it to chain such calls.
+.\" ----- DESCRIPTION :: Copy, catenate, and chain-copy ---------------/
+.SS Copy, catenate, and chain-copy
+Originally,
+there was a distinction between functions that copy and those that catenate.
+However, newer functions that copy while allowing chaining
+cover both use cases with a single API.
+They are also algorithmically faster,
+since they don't need to search for
+the terminating null byte of the existing string.
+However, functions that catenate have a much simpler use,
+so if performance is not important,
+it can make sense to use them for improving readability.
+.PP
+The pointer returned by functions that allow chaining
+is a byproduct of the copy operation,
+so it has no performance costs.
+Functions that return such a pointer,
+and thus can be chained,
+have names of the form
+.RB * stp *(),
+since it's common to name the pointer just
+.IR p .
+.PP
+Chain-copying functions that truncate
+should accept a pointer to the end of the destination buffer,
+and have names of the form
+.RB * stpe *().
+This allows not having to recalculate the remaining size after each call.
+.\" ----- DESCRIPTION :: Truncate or not? -----------------------------/
+.SS Truncate or not?
+The first thing to note is that programmers should be careful with buffers,
+so they always have the correct size,
+and truncation is not necessary.
+.PP
+In most cases,
+truncation is not desired,
+and it is simpler to just do the copy.
+Simpler code is safer code.
+Programming against programming mistakes by adding more code
+just adds more points where mistakes can be made.
+.PP
+Nowadays,
+compilers can detect most programmer errors with features like
+compiler warnings,
+static analyzers, and
+.B \%_FORTIFY_SOURCE
+(see
+.BR ftm (7)).
+Keeping the code simple
+helps these overflow-detection features be more precise.
+.PP
+When validating user input,
+however,
+it makes sense to truncate.
+Remember to check the return value of such function calls.
+.PP
+Functions that truncate:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+.BR stpecpy (3)
+is the most efficient string copy function that performs truncation.
+It only requires to check for truncation once after all chained calls.
+.IP \[bu]
+.BR strlcpy (3bsd)
+and
+.BR strlcat (3bsd)
+are similar, but less efficient when chained.
+.IP \[bu]
+.BR stpncpy (3)
+and
+.BR strncpy (3)
+also truncate, but they don't write strings,
+but rather null-padded character sequences.
+.\" ----- DESCRIPTION :: Null-padded character sequences --------------/
+.SS Null-padded character sequences
+For historic reasons,
+some standard APIs,
+such as
+.BR utmpx (5),
+use null-padded character sequences in fixed-width buffers.
+To interface with them,
+specialized functions need to be used.
+.PP
+To copy strings into them, use
+.BR stpncpy (3).
+.PP
+To copy from an unterminated string within a fixed-width buffer into a string,
+ignoring any trailing null bytes in the source fixed-width buffer,
+you should use
+.BR zustr2stp (3)
+or
+.BR strncat (3).
+.PP
+To copy from an unterminated string within a fixed-width buffer
+into a character sequence,
+ignoring any trailing null bytes in the source fixed-width buffer,
+you should use
+.BR zustr2ustp (3).
+.\" ----- DESCRIPTION :: Measured character sequences -----------------/
+.SS Measured character sequences
+The simplest character sequence copying function is
+.BR mempcpy (3).
+It requires always knowing the length of your character sequences,
+for which structures can be used.
+It makes the code much faster,
+since you always know the length of your character sequences,
+and can do the minimal copies and length measurements.
+.BR mempcpy (3)
+copies character sequences,
+so you need to explicitly set the terminating null byte if you need a string.
+.PP
+However,
+for keeping type safety,
+it's good to add a wrapper that uses
+.I char\~*
+instead of
+.IR void\~* :
+.BR ustpcpy (3).
+.PP
+In programs that make considerable use of strings or character sequences,
+and need the best performance,
+using overlapping character sequences can make a big difference.
+It allows holding subsequences of a larger character sequence,
+while not duplicating memory
+nor using time to do a copy.
+.PP
+However, this is delicate,
+since it requires using character sequences.
+C library APIs use strings,
+so programs that use character sequences
+will have to take care of differentiating strings from character sequences.
+.PP
+To copy a measured character sequence, use
+.BR ustpcpy (3).
+.PP
+To copy a measured character sequence into a string, use
+.BR ustr2stp (3).
+.PP
+Because these functions ask for the length,
+and a string is by nature composed of a character sequence of the same length
+plus a terminating null byte,
+a string is also accepted as input.
+.\" ----- DESCRIPTION :: String vs character sequence -----------------/
+.SS String vs character sequence
+Some functions only operate on strings.
+Those require that the input
+.I src
+is a string,
+and guarantee an output string
+(even when truncation occurs).
+Functions that catenate
+also require that
+.I dst
+holds a string before the call.
+List of functions:
+.IP \[bu] 3

+.BR strscpy (9)
+This function copies the input string into a destination string.

+.\" ----- CAVEATS :: --------------------------------------------------/
+.SH CAVEATS
+Don't mix chain calls to truncating and non-truncating functions.
+It is conceptually wrong
+unless you know that the first part of a copy will always fit.
+Anyway, the performance difference will probably be negligible,
+so it will probably be more clear if you use consistent semantics:
+either truncating or non-truncating.
+Calling a non-truncating function after a truncating one is necessarily wrong.

+suffixes \- list of file suffixes
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+It is customary to indicate the contents of a file with the file suffix,
+which (typically) consists of a period, followed by one or more letters.
+Many standard utilities, such as compilers, use this to recognize the type of
+file they are dealing with.
+The
+.BR make (1)
+utility is driven by rules based on file suffix.

+Following is a list of suffixes which are likely to be found on a

+.SH NAME
+symlink \- symbolic link handling
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Symbolic links are files that act as pointers to other files.
+To understand their behavior, you must first understand how hard links
+work.
+.PP
+A hard link to a file is indistinguishable from the original file because
+it is a reference to the object underlying the original filename.
+(To be precise: each of the hard links to a file is a reference to
+the same
+.IR "inode number" ,
+where an inode number is an index into the inode table,
+which contains metadata about all files on a filesystem.
+See
+.BR stat (2).)
+Changes to a file are independent of the name used to reference the file.
+Hard links may not refer to directories
+(to prevent the possibility of loops within the filesystem tree,
+which would confuse many programs)
+and may not refer to files on different filesystems
+(because inode numbers are not unique across filesystems).
+.PP
+A symbolic link is a special type of file whose contents are a string
+that is the pathname of another file, the file to which the link refers.
+(The contents of a symbolic link can be read using
+.BR readlink (2).)
+In other words, a symbolic link is a pointer to another name,
+and not to an underlying object.
+For this reason, symbolic links may refer to directories and may cross
+filesystem boundaries.
+.PP
+There is no requirement that the pathname referred to by a symbolic link
+should exist.
+A symbolic link that refers to a pathname that does not exist is said
+to be a
+.IR "dangling link" .
+.PP
+Because a symbolic link and its referenced object coexist in the filesystem
+name space, confusion can arise in distinguishing between the link itself
+and the referenced object.
+On historical systems,
+commands and system calls adopted their own link-following
+conventions in a somewhat ad-hoc fashion.
+Rules for a more uniform approach,
+as they are implemented on Linux and other systems,
+are outlined here.
+It is important that site-local applications also conform to these rules,
+so that the user interface can be as consistent as possible.
+.\"
+.SS Magic links
+There is a special class of symbolic-link-like objects
+known as "magic links", which
+can be found in certain pseudofilesystems such as
+.BR proc (5)
+(examples include
+.IR /proc/ pid /exe
+and
+.IR /proc/ pid /fd/ *).
+Unlike normal symbolic links, magic links are not resolved through
+pathname-expansion, but instead act as direct references to the kernel's own
+representation of a file handle.
+As such, these magic links allow users to
+access files which cannot be referenced with normal paths (such as unlinked
+files still referenced by a running program ).
+.PP
+Because they can bypass ordinary
+.BR mount_namespaces (7)-based
+restrictions,
+magic links have been used as attack vectors in various exploits.
+.\"
+.SS Symbolic link ownership, permissions, and timestamps
+The owner and group of an existing symbolic link can be changed
+using
+.BR lchown (2).
+The ownership of a symbolic link matters
+when the link is being removed or renamed in a directory that
+has the sticky bit set (see
+.BR inode (7)),
+and when the
+.I fs.protected_symlinks
+sysctl is set (see
+.BR proc (5)).
+.PP
+The last access and last modification timestamps
+of a symbolic link can be changed using
+.BR utimensat (2)
+or
+.BR lutimes (3).
+.PP
+.\" Linux does not currently implement an lchmod(2).
+On Linux, the permissions of an ordinary symbolic link are not used in any
+operations; the permissions are always 0777 (read, write, and execute for all
+user categories), and can't be changed.
+.PP
+However, magic links do not follow this rule.
+They can have a non-0777 mode,
+though this mode is not currently used in any permission checks.
+.\" .PP
+.\" The
+.\" 4.4BSD
+.\" system differs from historical
+.\" 4BSD
+.\" systems in that the system call
+.\" .BR chown (2)
+.\" has been changed to follow symbolic links.
+.\" The
+.\" .BR lchown (2)
+.\" system call was added later when the limitations of the new
+.\" .BR chown (2)
+.\" became apparent.
+.SS Obtaining a file descriptor that refers to a symbolic link
+Using the combination of the
+.B O_PATH
+and
+.B O_NOFOLLOW
+flags to
+.BR open (2)
+yields a file descriptor that can be passed as the
+.I dirfd
+argument in system calls such as
+.BR fstatat (2),
+.BR fchownat (2),
+.BR fchmodat (2),
+.BR linkat (2),
+and
+.BR readlinkat (2),
+in order to operate on the symbolic link itself
+(rather than the file to which it refers).
+.PP
+By default
+(i.e., if the
+.B AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW
+flag is not specified), if
+.BR name_to_handle_at (2)
+is applied to a symbolic link, it yields a handle for the symbolic link
+(rather than the file to which it refers).
+One can then obtain a file descriptor for the symbolic link
+(rather than the file to which it refers)
+by specifying the
+.B O_PATH
+flag in a subsequent call to
+.BR open_by_handle_at (2).
+Again, that file descriptor can be used in the
+aforementioned system calls to operate on the symbolic link itself.
+.SS Handling of symbolic links by system calls and commands
+Symbolic links are handled either by operating on the link itself,
+or by operating on the object referred to by the link.
+In the latter case,
+an application or system call is said to
+.I follow
+the link.
+Symbolic links may refer to other symbolic links,
+in which case the links are dereferenced until an object that is
+not a symbolic link is found,
+a symbolic link that refers to a file which does not exist is found,
+or a loop is detected.
+(Loop detection is done by placing an upper limit on the number of
+links that may be followed, and an error results if this limit is
+exceeded.)
+.PP
+There are three separate areas that need to be discussed.
+They are as follows:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Symbolic links used as filename arguments for system calls.
+.IP \[bu]
+Symbolic links specified as command-line arguments to utilities that
+are not traversing a file tree.
+.IP \[bu]
+Symbolic links encountered by utilities that are traversing a file tree
+(either specified on the command line or encountered as part of the
+file hierarchy walk).
+.PP
+Before describing the treatment of symbolic links by system calls and commands,
+we require some terminology.
+Given a pathname of the form
+.IR a/b/c ,
+the part preceding the final slash (i.e.,
+.IR a/b )
+is called the
+.I dirname
+component, and the part following the final slash (i.e.,
+.IR c )
+is called the
+.I basename
+component.
+.\"
+.SS Treatment of symbolic links in system calls
+The first area is symbolic links used as filename arguments for
+system calls.
+.PP
+The treatment of symbolic links within a pathname passed to
+a system call is as follows:
+.IP (1) 5
+Within the dirname component of a pathname,
+symbolic links are always followed in nearly every system call.
+(This is also true for commands.)
+The one exception is
+.BR openat2 (2),
+which provides flags that can be used to explicitly
+prevent following of symbolic links in the dirname component.
+.IP (2)
+Except as noted below,
+all system calls follow symbolic links
+in the basename component of a pathname.
+For example, if there were a symbolic link
+.I slink
+which pointed to a file named
+.IR afile ,
+the system call
+.I "open(""slink"" ...\&)"
+would return a file descriptor referring to the file
+.IR afile .
+.PP
+Various system calls do not follow links in
+the basename component of a pathname,
+and operate on the symbolic link itself.
+They are:
+.BR lchown (2),
+.BR lgetxattr (2),
+.BR llistxattr (2),
+.BR lremovexattr (2),
+.BR lsetxattr (2),
+.BR lstat (2),
+.BR readlink (2),
+.BR rename (2),
+.BR rmdir (2),
+and
+.BR unlink (2).
+.PP
+Certain other system calls optionally follow symbolic links
+in the basename component of a pathname.
+They are:
+.BR faccessat (2),
+.\" Maybe one day: .BR fchownat (2)
+.BR fchownat (2),
+.BR fstatat (2),
+.BR linkat (2),
+.BR name_to_handle_at (2),
+.BR open (2),
+.BR openat (2),
+.BR open_by_handle_at (2),
+and
+.BR utimensat (2);
+see their manual pages for details.
+Because
+.BR remove (3)
+is an alias for
+.BR unlink (2),
+that library function also does not follow symbolic links.
+When
+.BR rmdir (2)
+is applied to a symbolic link, it fails with the error
+.BR ENOTDIR .
+.PP
+.BR link (2)
+warrants special discussion.
+POSIX.1-2001 specifies that
+.BR link (2)
+should dereference
+.I oldpath
+if it is a symbolic link.
+However, Linux does not do this.
+(By default, Solaris is the same,
+but the POSIX.1-2001 specified behavior can be obtained with
+suitable compiler options.)
+POSIX.1-2008 changed the specification to allow
+either behavior in an implementation.
+.SS Commands not traversing a file tree
+The second area is symbolic links, specified as command-line
+filename arguments, to commands which are not traversing a file tree.
+.PP
+Except as noted below, commands follow symbolic links named as
+command-line arguments.
+For example, if there were a symbolic link
+.I slink
+which pointed to a file named
+.IR afile ,
+the command
+.I "cat slink"
+would display the contents of the file
+.IR afile .
+.PP
+It is important to realize that this rule includes commands which may
+optionally traverse file trees; for example, the command
+.I "chown file"
+is included in this rule, while the command
+.IR "chown\ \-R file" ,
+which performs a tree traversal, is not.
+(The latter is described in the third area, below.)
+.PP
+If it is explicitly intended that the command operate on the symbolic
+link instead of following the symbolic link\[em]for example, it is desired that
+.I "chown slink"
+change the ownership of the file that
+.I slink
+is, whether it is a symbolic link or not\[em]then the
+.I \-h
+option should be used.
+In the above example,
+.I "chown root slink"
+would change the ownership of the file referred to by
+.IR slink ,
+while
+.I "chown\ \-h root slink"
+would change the ownership of
+.I slink
+itself.
+.PP
+There are some exceptions to this rule:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The
+.BR mv (1)
+and
+.BR rm (1)
+commands do not follow symbolic links named as arguments,
+but respectively attempt to rename and delete them.
+(Note, if the symbolic link references a file via a relative path,
+moving it to another directory may very well cause it to stop working,
+since the path may no longer be correct.)
+.IP \[bu]
+The
+.BR ls (1)
+command is also an exception to this rule.
+For compatibility with historic systems (when
+.BR ls (1)
+is not doing a tree walk\[em]that is,
+.I \-R
+option is not specified),
+the
+.BR ls (1)
+command follows symbolic links named as arguments if the
+.I \-H
+or
+.I \-L
+option is specified,
+or if the
+.IR \-F ,
+.IR \-d ,
+or
+.I \-l
+options are not specified.
+(The
+.BR ls (1)
+command is the only command where the
+.I \-H
+and
+.I \-L
+options affect its behavior even though it is not doing a walk of
+a file tree.)
+.IP \[bu]
+The
+.BR file (1)
+command is also an exception to this rule.
+The
+.BR file (1)
+command does not follow symbolic links named as argument by default.
+The
+.BR file (1)
+command does follow symbolic links named as argument if the
+.I \-L
+option is specified.
+.\"
+.\"The 4.4BSD system differs from historical 4BSD systems in that the
+.\".BR chown (1)
+.\"and
+.\".BR chgrp (1)
+.\"commands follow symbolic links specified on the command line.
+.SS Commands traversing a file tree
+The following commands either optionally or always traverse file trees:
+.BR chgrp (1),
+.BR chmod (1),
+.BR chown (1),
+.BR cp (1),
+.BR du (1),
+.BR find (1),
+.BR ls (1),
+.BR pax (1),
+.BR rm (1),
+and
+.BR tar (1).
+.PP
+It is important to realize that the following rules apply equally to
+symbolic links encountered during the file tree traversal and symbolic
+links listed as command-line arguments.
+.PP
+The \fIfirst rule\fP applies to symbolic links that reference files other
+than directories.
+Operations that apply to symbolic links are performed on the links
+themselves, but otherwise the links are ignored.
+.PP
+The command
+.I "rm\ \-r slink directory"
+will remove
+.IR slink ,
+as well as any symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal of
+.IR directory ,
+because symbolic links may be removed.
+In no case will
+.BR rm (1)
+affect the file referred to by
+.IR slink .
+.PP
+The \fIsecond rule\fP applies to symbolic links that refer to directories.
+Symbolic links that refer to directories are never followed by default.
+This is often referred to as a "physical" walk, as opposed to a "logical"
+walk (where symbolic links that refer to directories are followed).
+.PP
+Certain conventions are (should be) followed as consistently as
+possible by commands that perform file tree walks:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+A command can be made to follow
+any symbolic links named on the command line,
+regardless of the type of file they reference, by specifying the
+.I \-H
+(for "half-logical") flag.
+This flag is intended to make the command-line name space look
+like the logical name space.
+(Note, for commands that do not always do file tree traversals, the
+.I \-H
+flag will be ignored if the
+.I \-R
+flag is not also specified.)
+.IP
+For example, the command
+.I "chown\ \-HR user slink"
+will traverse the file hierarchy rooted in the file pointed to by
+.IR slink .
+Note, the
+.I \-H
+is not the same as the previously discussed
+.I \-h
+flag.
+The
+.I \-H
+flag causes symbolic links specified on the command line to be
+dereferenced for the purposes of both the action to be performed
+and the tree walk, and it is as if the user had specified the
+name of the file to which the symbolic link pointed.
+.IP \[bu]
+A command can be made to
+follow any symbolic links named on the command line,
+as well as any symbolic links encountered during the traversal,
+regardless of the type of file they reference, by specifying the
+.I \-L
+(for "logical") flag.
+This flag is intended to make the entire name space look like
+the logical name space.
+(Note, for commands that do not always do file tree traversals, the
+.I \-L
+flag will be ignored if the
+.I \-R
+flag is not also specified.)
+.IP
+For example, the command
+.I "chown\ \-LR user slink"
+will change the owner of the file referred to by
+.IR slink .
+If
+.I slink
+refers to a directory,
+.B chown
+will traverse the file hierarchy rooted in the directory that it
+references.
+In addition, if any symbolic links are encountered in any file tree that
+.B chown
+traverses, they will be treated in the same fashion as
+.IR slink .
+.IP \[bu]
+A command can be made to
+provide the default behavior by specifying the
+.I \-P
+(for "physical") flag.
+This flag is intended to make the entire name space look like the
+physical name space.
+.PP
+For commands that do not by default do file tree traversals, the
+.IR \-H ,
+.IR \-L ,
+and
+.I \-P
+flags are ignored if the
+.I \-R
+flag is not also specified.
+In addition, you may specify the
+.IR \-H ,
+.IR \-L ,
+and
+.I \-P
+options more than once;
+the last one specified determines the command's behavior.
+This is intended to permit you to alias commands to behave one way
+or the other, and then override that behavior on the command line.
+.PP
+The
+.BR ls (1)
+and
+.BR rm (1)
+commands have exceptions to these rules:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The
+.BR rm (1)
+command operates on the symbolic link, and not the file it references,
+and therefore never follows a symbolic link.
+The
+.BR rm (1)
+command does not support the
+.IR \-H ,
+.IR \-L ,
+or
+.I \-P
+options.
+.IP \[bu]
+To maintain compatibility with historic systems,
+the
+.BR ls (1)
+command acts a little differently.
+If you do not specify the
+.IR \-F ,
+.IR \-d ,
+or
+.I \-l
+options,
+.BR ls (1)
+will follow symbolic links specified on the command line.
+If the
+.I \-L
+flag is specified,
+.BR ls (1)
+follows all symbolic links,
+regardless of their type,
+whether specified on the command line or encountered in the tree walk.

+.SH NOTES
+The structures described in this manual page shall contain,
+at least, the members shown in their definition, in no particular order.
+.PP
+Most of the integer types described in this page don't have
+a corresponding length modifier for the
+.BR printf (3)
+and the
+.BR scanf (3)
+families of functions.
+To print a value of an integer type that doesn't have a length modifier,
+it should be converted to
+.I intmax_t
+or
+.I uintmax_t
+by an explicit cast.
+To scan into a variable of an integer type
+that doesn't have a length modifier,
+an intermediate temporary variable of type
+.I intmax_t
+or
+.I uintmax_t
+should be used.
+When copying from the temporary variable to the destination variable,
+the value could overflow.
+If the type has upper and lower limits,
+the user should check that the value is within those limits,
+before actually copying the value.
+The example below shows how these conversions should be done.
+.SS Conventions used in this page
+In "Conforming to" we only concern ourselves with
+C99 and later and POSIX.1-2001 and later.
+Some types may be specified in earlier versions of one of these standards,
+but in the interests of simplicity we omit details from earlier standards.
+.PP
+In "Include", we first note the "primary" header(s) that
+define the type according to either the C or POSIX.1 standards.
+Under "Alternatively", we note additional headers that
+the standards specify shall define the type.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The program shown below scans from a string and prints a value stored in
+a variable of an integer type that doesn't have a length modifier.
+The appropriate conversions from and to
+.IR intmax_t ,
+and the appropriate range checks,
+are used as explained in the notes section above.

+.SH NAME
+sysvipc \- System V interprocess communication mechanisms
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+System V IPC is the name given to three interprocess
+communication mechanisms that are widely available on UNIX systems:
+message queues, semaphore, and shared memory.
+.\"
+.SS Message queues
+System V message queues allow data to be exchanged in units called messages.
+Each message can have an associated priority.
+POSIX message queues provide an alternative API for achieving the same result;
+see
+.BR mq_overview (7).
+.PP
+The System V message queue API consists of the following system calls:
+.TP
+.BR msgget (2)
+Create a new message queue or obtain the ID of an existing message queue.
+This call returns an identifier that is used in the remaining APIs.
+.TP
+.BR msgsnd (2)
+Add a message to a queue.
+.TP
+.BR msgrcv (2)
+Remove a message from a queue.
+.TP
+.BR msgctl (2)
+Perform various control operations on a queue, including deletion.
+.\"
+.SS Semaphore sets
+System V semaphores allow processes to synchronize their actions.
+System V semaphores are allocated in groups called sets;
+each semaphore in a set is a counting semaphore.
+POSIX semaphores provide an alternative API for achieving the same result;
+see
+.BR sem_overview (7).
+.PP
+The System V semaphore API consists of the following system calls:
+.TP
+.BR semget (2)
+Create a new set or obtain the ID of an existing set.
+This call returns an identifier that is used in the remaining APIs.
+.TP
+.BR semop (2)
+Perform operations on the semaphores in a set.
+.TP
+.BR semctl (2)
+Perform various control operations on a set, including deletion.
+.\"
+.SS Shared memory segments
+System V shared memory allows processes to share a region a memory
+(a "segment").
+POSIX shared memory is an alternative API for achieving the same result; see
+.BR shm_overview (7).
+.PP
+The System V shared memory API consists of the following system calls:
+.TP
+.BR shmget (2)
+Create a new segment or obtain the ID of an existing segment.
+This call returns an identifier that is used in the remaining APIs.
+.TP
+.BR shmat (2)
+Attach an existing shared memory object into the calling process's
+address space.
+.TP
+.BR shmdt (2)
+Detach a segment from the calling process's address space.
+.TP
+.BR shmctl (2)
+Perform various control operations on a segment, including deletion.

+.TH tcp 7 2023-07-15 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+tcp \- TCP protocol
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <sys/socket.h>
+.B #include <netinet/in.h>
+.B #include <netinet/tcp.h>
+.PP
+.IB tcp_socket " = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);"
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This is an implementation of the TCP protocol defined in
+RFC\ 793, RFC\ 1122 and RFC\ 2001 with the NewReno and SACK
+extensions.
+It provides a reliable, stream-oriented,
+full-duplex connection between two sockets on top of
+.BR ip (7),
+for both v4 and v6 versions.
+TCP guarantees that the data arrives in order and
+retransmits lost packets.
+It generates and checks a per-packet checksum to catch
+transmission errors.
+TCP does not preserve record boundaries.
+.PP
+A newly created TCP socket has no remote or local address and is not
+fully specified.
+To create an outgoing TCP connection use
+.BR connect (2)
+to establish a connection to another TCP socket.
+To receive new incoming connections, first
+.BR bind (2)
+the socket to a local address and port and then call
+.BR listen (2)
+to put the socket into the listening state.
+After that a new socket for each incoming connection can be accepted using
+.BR accept (2).
+A socket which has had
+.BR accept (2)
+or
+.BR connect (2)
+successfully called on it is fully specified and may transmit data.
+Data cannot be transmitted on listening or not yet connected sockets.
+.PP
+Linux supports RFC\ 1323 TCP high performance
+extensions.
+These include Protection Against Wrapped
+Sequence Numbers (PAWS), Window Scaling and Timestamps.
+Window scaling allows the use
+of large (> 64\ kB) TCP windows in order to support links with high
+latency or bandwidth.
+To make use of them, the send and receive buffer sizes must be increased.
+They can be set globally with the
+.I /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_wmem
+and
+.I /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rmem
+files, or on individual sockets by using the
+.B SO_SNDBUF
+and
+.B SO_RCVBUF
+socket options with the
+.BR setsockopt (2)
+call.
+.PP
+The maximum sizes for socket buffers declared via the
+.B SO_SNDBUF
+and
+.B SO_RCVBUF
+mechanisms are limited by the values in the
+.I /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max
+and
+.I /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max
+files.
+Note that TCP actually allocates twice the size of
+the buffer requested in the
+.BR setsockopt (2)
+call, and so a succeeding
+.BR getsockopt (2)
+call will not return the same size of buffer as requested in the
+.BR setsockopt (2)
+call.
+TCP uses the extra space for administrative purposes and internal
+kernel structures, and the
+.I /proc
+file values reflect the
+larger sizes compared to the actual TCP windows.
+On individual connections, the socket buffer size must be set prior to the
+.BR listen (2)
+or
+.BR connect (2)
+calls in order to have it take effect.
+See
+.BR socket (7)
+for more information.
+.PP
+TCP supports urgent data.
+Urgent data is used to signal the
+receiver that some important message is part of the data
+stream and that it should be processed as soon as possible.
+To send urgent data specify the
+.B MSG_OOB
+option to
+.BR send (2).
+When urgent data is received, the kernel sends a
+.B SIGURG
+signal to the process or process group that has been set as the
+socket "owner" using the
+.B SIOCSPGRP
+or
+.B FIOSETOWN
+ioctls (or the POSIX.1-specified
+.BR fcntl (2)
+.B F_SETOWN
+operation).
+When the
+.B SO_OOBINLINE
+socket option is enabled, urgent data is put into the normal
+data stream (a program can test for its location using the
+.B SIOCATMARK
+ioctl described below),
+otherwise it can be received only when the
+.B MSG_OOB
+flag is set for
+.BR recv (2)
+or
+.BR recvmsg (2).
+.PP
+When out-of-band data is present,
+.BR select (2)
+indicates the file descriptor as having an exceptional condition and
+.I poll (2)
+indicates a
+.B POLLPRI
+event.
+.PP
+Linux 2.4 introduced a number of changes for improved
+throughput and scaling, as well as enhanced functionality.
+Some of these features include support for zero-copy
+.BR sendfile (2),
+Explicit Congestion Notification, new
+management of TIME_WAIT sockets, keep-alive socket options
+and support for Duplicate SACK extensions.
+.SS Address formats
+TCP is built on top of IP (see
+.BR ip (7)).
+The address formats defined by
+.BR ip (7)
+apply to TCP.
+TCP supports point-to-point communication only;
+broadcasting and multicasting are not
+supported.
+.SS /proc interfaces
+System-wide TCP parameter settings can be accessed by files in the directory
+.IR /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ .
+In addition, most IP
+.I /proc
+interfaces also apply to TCP; see
+.BR ip (7).
+Variables described as
+.I Boolean
+take an integer value, with a nonzero value ("true") meaning that
+the corresponding option is enabled, and a zero value ("false")
+meaning that the option is disabled.

+The socket receive buffer space is shared between the

+The rest of the space is used

+This option takes an

+.B ETIMEDOUT
+to the application.
+If the option value is specified as 0,
+TCP will use the system default.
+.IP
+Increasing user timeouts allows a TCP connection to survive extended
+periods without end-to-end connectivity.
+Decreasing user timeouts
+allows applications to "fail fast", if so desired.
+Otherwise, failure may take up to 20 minutes with
+the current system defaults in a normal WAN environment.

+(ESTABLISHED, FIN-WAIT-1, FIN-WAIT-2, CLOSE-WAIT, CLOSING, and LAST-ACK).
+Moreover, when used with the TCP keepalive
+.RB ( SO_KEEPALIVE )
+option,

+The option has no effect on when TCP retransmits a packet,

+.TP
+.BR TCP_FASTOPEN " (since Linux 3.6)"
+This option enables Fast Open (RFC\~7413) on the listener socket.
+The value specifies the maximum length of pending SYNs
+(similar to the backlog argument in
+.BR listen (2)).
+Once enabled,
+the listener socket grants the TCP Fast Open cookie
+on incoming SYN with TCP Fast Open option.
+.IP
+More importantly it accepts the data in SYN with a valid Fast Open cookie
+and responds SYN-ACK acknowledging both the data and the SYN sequence.
+.BR accept (2)
+returns a socket that is available for read and write
+when the handshake has not completed yet.
+Thus the data exchange can commence before the handshake completes.
+This option requires enabling the server-side support on sysctl
+.I net.ipv4.tcp_fastopen
+(see above).
+For TCP Fast Open client-side support,
+see
+.BR send (2)
+.B MSG_FASTOPEN
+or

+.TP
+.BR TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT " (since Linux 4.11)"
+This option enables an alternative way to perform Fast Open
+on the active side (client).
+When this option is enabled,
+.BR connect (2)
+would behave differently depending on
+if a Fast Open cookie is available for the destination.
+.IP
+If a cookie is not available (i.e. first contact to the destination),
+.BR connect (2)
+behaves as usual by sending a SYN immediately,
+except the SYN would include an empty Fast Open cookie option
+to solicit a cookie.
+.IP
+If a cookie is available,
+.BR connect (2)
+would return 0 immediately but the SYN transmission is deferred.
+A subsequent
+.BR write (2)
+or
+.BR sendmsg (2)
+would trigger a SYN with data plus cookie in the Fast Open option.
+In other words,
+the actual connect operation is deferred until data is supplied.
+.IP
+.B Note:
+While this option is designed for convenience,
+enabling it does change the behaviors and certain system calls might set
+different
+.I errno
+values.
+With cookie present,
+.BR write (2)
+or
+.BR sendmsg (2)
+must be called right after
+.BR connect (2)
+in order to send out SYN+data to complete 3WHS and establish connection.
+Calling
+.BR read (2)
+right after
+.BR connect (2)
+without
+.BR write (2)
+will cause the blocking socket to be blocked forever.
+.IP
+The application should either set
+.B TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT
+socket option before
+.BR write (2)
+or
+.BR sendmsg (2),
+or call
+.BR write (2)
+or
+.BR sendmsg (2)
+with
+.B MSG_FASTOPEN
+flag directly,
+instead of both on the same connection.
+.IP
+Here is the typical call flow with this new option:

+.in +4n
+.EX
+s = socket();
+setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT, 1, ...);

+.SS Sockets API
+TCP provides limited support for out-of-band data,
+in the form of (a single byte of) urgent data.
+In Linux this means if the other end sends newer out-of-band
+data the older urgent data is inserted as normal data into
+the stream (even when
+.B SO_OOBINLINE
+is not set).
+This differs from BSD-based stacks.
+.PP
+Linux uses the BSD compatible interpretation of the urgent
+pointer field by default.
+This violates RFC\ 1122, but is
+required for interoperability with other stacks.
+It can be changed via
+.IR /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_stdurg .
+.PP
+It is possible to peek at out-of-band data using the
+.BR recv (2)
+.B MSG_PEEK
+flag.
+.PP
+Since Linux 2.4, Linux supports the use of
+.B MSG_TRUNC
+in the
+.I flags
+argument of
+.BR recv (2)
+(and
+.BR recvmsg (2)).
+This flag causes the received bytes of data to be discarded,
+rather than passed back in a caller-supplied buffer.
+Since Linux 2.4.4,
+.B MSG_TRUNC
+also has this effect when used in conjunction with
+.B MSG_OOB
+to receive out-of-band data.
+.SS Ioctls
+The following
+.BR ioctl (2)
+calls return information in
+.IR value .
+The correct syntax is:

+.RS
+.nf
+.BI int " value";
+.IB error " = ioctl(" tcp_socket ", " ioctl_type ", &" value ");"
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+.I ioctl_type

+If the

+.B SIOCATMARK
+returns true, then the
+next read from the socket will return the bytes following
+the urgent data (to actually read the urgent data requires the
+.B recv(MSG_OOB)
+flag).
+.IP
+Note that a read never reads across the urgent mark.
+If an application is informed of the presence of urgent data via
+.BR select (2)
+(using the

+returns false.
+.TP
+.B SIOCOUTQ
+Returns the amount of unsent data in the socket send queue.

+.SS Error handling
+When a network error occurs, TCP tries to resend the packet.
+If it doesn't succeed after some time, either
+.B ETIMEDOUT
+or the last received error on this connection is reported.
+.PP
+Some applications require a quicker error notification.
+This can be enabled with the
+.B IPPROTO_IP
+level
+.B IP_RECVERR
+socket option.
+When this option is enabled, all incoming
+errors are immediately passed to the user program.
+Use this option with care \[em] it makes TCP less tolerant to routing
+changes and other normal network conditions.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EAFNOTSUPPORT

+.TP
+.B ETIMEDOUT
+The other end didn't acknowledge retransmitted data after some time.

+.TH time 7 2023-01-22 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+time \- overview of time and timers
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.SS Real time and process time
+.I "Real time"
+is defined as time measured from some fixed point,
+either from a standard point in the past
+(see the description of the Epoch and calendar time below),
+or from some point (e.g., the start) in the life of a process
+.RI ( "elapsed time" ).
+.PP
+.I "Process time"
+is defined as the amount of CPU time used by a process.
+This is sometimes divided into
+.I user
+and
+.I system
+components.
+User CPU time is the time spent executing code in user mode.
+System CPU time is the time spent by the kernel executing
+in system mode on behalf of the process (e.g., executing system calls).
+The
+.BR time (1)
+command can be used to determine the amount of CPU time consumed
+during the execution of a program.
+A program can determine the amount of CPU time it has consumed using
+.BR times (2),
+.BR getrusage (2),
+or
+.BR clock (3).
+.SS The hardware clock
+Most computers have a (battery-powered) hardware clock which the kernel
+reads at boot time in order to initialize the software clock.
+For further details, see
+.BR rtc (4)
+and
+.BR hwclock (8).
+.SS The software clock, HZ, and jiffies
+The accuracy of various system calls that set timeouts,
+(e.g.,
+.BR select (2),
+.BR sigtimedwait (2))
+.\" semtimedop(), mq_timedwait(), io_getevents(), poll() are the same
+.\" futexes and thus sem_timedwait() seem to use high-res timers.
+and measure CPU time (e.g.,
+.BR getrusage (2))
+is limited by the resolution of the
+.IR "software clock" ,
+a clock maintained by the kernel which measures time in
+.IR jiffies .
+The size of a jiffy is determined by the value of the kernel constant
+.IR HZ .
+.PP
+The value of
+.I HZ
+varies across kernel versions and hardware platforms.
+On i386 the situation is as follows:
+on kernels up to and including Linux 2.4.x,
+HZ was 100,
+giving a jiffy value of 0.01 seconds;
+starting with Linux 2.6.0,
+HZ was raised to 1000,
+giving a jiffy of 0.001 seconds.
+Since Linux 2.6.13, the HZ value is a kernel
+configuration parameter and can be 100, 250 (the default) or 1000,
+yielding a jiffies value of, respectively, 0.01, 0.004, or 0.001 seconds.
+Since Linux 2.6.20, a further frequency is available:
+300, a number that divides evenly for the common video frame rates
+(PAL, 25 Hz; NTSC, 30 Hz).
+.PP
+The
+.BR times (2)
+system call is a special case.
+It reports times with a granularity defined by the kernel constant
+.IR USER_HZ .
+User-space applications can determine the value of this constant using
+.IR sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK) .
+.\" glibc gets this info with a little help from the ELF loader;
+.\" see glibc elf/dl-support.c and kernel fs/binfmt_elf.c.
+.\"
+.SS System and process clocks; time namespaces
+The kernel supports a range of clocks that measure various kinds of
+elapsed and virtual (i.e., consumed CPU) time.
+These clocks are described in
+.BR clock_gettime (2).
+A few of the clocks are settable using
+.BR clock_settime (2).
+The values of certain clocks are virtualized by time namespaces; see
+.BR time_namespaces (7).
+.\"
+.SS High-resolution timers
+Before Linux 2.6.21, the accuracy of timer and sleep system calls
+(see below) was also limited by the size of the jiffy.
+.PP
+Since Linux 2.6.21, Linux supports high-resolution timers (HRTs),
+optionally configurable via
+.BR CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS .
+On a system that supports HRTs, the accuracy of sleep and timer
+system calls is no longer constrained by the jiffy,
+but instead can be as accurate as the hardware allows
+(microsecond accuracy is typical of modern hardware).
+You can determine whether high-resolution timers are supported by
+checking the resolution returned by a call to
+.BR clock_getres (2)
+or looking at the "resolution" entries in
+.IR /proc/timer_list .
+.PP
+HRTs are not supported on all hardware architectures.
+(Support is provided on x86, ARM, and PowerPC, among others.)
+.SS The Epoch
+UNIX systems represent time in seconds since the
+.IR Epoch ,
+1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC).
+.PP
+A program can determine the
+.I "calendar time"
+via the
+.BR clock_gettime (2)
+.B CLOCK_REALTIME
+clock,
+which returns time (in seconds and nanoseconds) that have
+elapsed since the Epoch;
+.BR time (2)
+provides similar information, but only with accuracy to the
+nearest second.
+The system time can be changed using
+.BR clock_settime (2).
+.\"
+.SS Broken-down time
+Certain library functions use a structure of
+type
+.I tm
+to represent
+.IR "broken-down time" ,
+which stores time value separated out into distinct components
+(year, month, day, hour, minute, second, etc.).
+This structure is described in
+.BR tm (3type),
+which also describes functions that convert between calendar time and
+broken-down time.
+Functions for converting between broken-down time and printable
+string representations of the time are described in
+.BR ctime (3),
+.BR strftime (3),
+and
+.BR strptime (3).
+.SS Sleeping and setting timers
+Various system calls and functions allow a program to sleep
+(suspend execution) for a specified period of time; see
+.BR nanosleep (2),
+.BR clock_nanosleep (2),
+and
+.BR sleep (3).
+.PP
+Various system calls allow a process to set a timer that expires
+at some point in the future, and optionally at repeated intervals;
+see
+.BR alarm (2),
+.BR getitimer (2),
+.BR timerfd_create (2),
+and
+.BR timer_create (2).
+.SS Timer slack
+Since Linux 2.6.28, it is possible to control the "timer slack"
+value for a thread.
+The timer slack is the length of time by
+which the kernel may delay the wake-up of certain
+system calls that block with a timeout.
+Permitting this delay allows the kernel to coalesce wake-up events,
+thus possibly reducing the number of system wake-ups and saving power.
+For more details, see the description of
+.B PR_SET_TIMERSLACK
+in
+.BR prctl (2).

+.TH time_namespaces 7 2023-03-12 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+time_namespaces \- overview of Linux time namespaces
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Time namespaces virtualize the values of two system clocks:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+.B CLOCK_MONOTONIC
+(and likewise
+.B CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE
+and
+.BR CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW ),
+a nonsettable clock that represents monotonic time since\[em]as
+described by POSIX\[em]"some unspecified point in the past".
+.IP \[bu]
+.B CLOCK_BOOTTIME
+(and likewise
+.BR CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM ),
+a nonsettable clock that is identical to
+.BR CLOCK_MONOTONIC ,
+except that it also includes any time that the system is suspended.
+.PP
+Thus, the processes in a time namespace share per-namespace values
+for these clocks.
+This affects various APIs that measure against these clocks, including:
+.BR clock_gettime (2),
+.BR clock_nanosleep (2),
+.BR nanosleep (2),
+.BR timer_settime (2),
+.BR timerfd_settime (2),
+and
+.IR /proc/uptime .
+.PP
+Currently, the only way to create a time namespace is by calling
+.BR unshare (2)
+with the
+.B CLONE_NEWTIME
+flag.
+This call creates a new time namespace but does
+.I not
+place the calling process in the new namespace.
+Instead, the calling process's
+subsequently created children are placed in the new namespace.
+This allows clock offsets (see below) for the new namespace
+to be set before the first process is placed in the namespace.
+The
+.IR /proc/ pid /ns/time_for_children
+symbolic link shows the time namespace in which
+the children of a process will be created.
+(A process can use a file descriptor opened on
+this symbolic link in a call to
+.BR setns (2)
+in order to move into the namespace.)
+.\"
+.SS \fI/proc/\fPpid\fI/timens_offsets\fP
+Associated with each time namespace are offsets,
+expressed with respect to the initial time namespace,
+that define the values of the monotonic and
+boot-time clocks in that namespace.
+These offsets are exposed via the file
+.IR /proc/ pid /timens_offsets .
+Within this file,
+the offsets are expressed as lines consisting of
+three space-delimited fields:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+<clock-id> <offset-secs> <offset-nanosecs>
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+The
+.I clock-id
+is a string that identifies the clock whose offsets are being shown.
+This field is either
+.IR monotonic ,
+for
+.BR CLOCK_MONOTONIC ,
+or
+.IR boottime ,
+for
+.BR CLOCK_BOOTTIME .
+The remaining fields express the offset (seconds plus nanoseconds) for the
+clock in this time namespace.
+These offsets are expressed relative to the clock values in
+the initial time namespace.
+The
+.I offset-secs
+value can be negative, subject to restrictions noted below;
+.I offset-nanosecs
+is an unsigned value.
+.PP
+In the initial time namespace, the contents of the
+.I timens_offsets
+file are as follows:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+$ \fBcat /proc/self/timens_offsets\fP
+monotonic 0 0
+boottime 0 0
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+In a new time namespace that has had no member processes,
+the clock offsets can be modified by writing newline-terminated
+records of the same form to the
+.I timens_offsets
+file.
+The file can be written to multiple times,
+but after the first process has been created in or has entered the namespace,
+.BR write (2)s
+on this file fail with the error
+.BR EACCES .
+In order to write to the
+.I timens_offsets
+file, a process must have the
+.B CAP_SYS_TIME
+capability in the user namespace that owns the time namespace.
+.PP
+Writes to the
+.I timens_offsets
+file can fail with the following errors:
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+An
+.I offset-nanosecs
+value is greater than 999,999,999.
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+A
+.I clock-id
+value is not valid.
+.TP
+.B EPERM
+The caller does not have the
+.B CAP_SYS_TIME
+capability.
+.TP
+.B ERANGE
+An
+.I offset-secs
+value is out of range.
+In particular;
+.RS
+.IP \[bu] 3
+.I offset-secs
+can't be set to a value which would make the current
+time on the corresponding clock inside the namespace a negative value; and
+.IP \[bu]
+.I offset-secs
+can't be set to a value such that the time on the corresponding clock
+inside the namespace would exceed half of the value of the kernel constant
+.B KTIME_SEC_MAX
+(this limits the clock value to a maximum of approximately 146 years).
+.RE
+.PP
+In a new time namespace created by
+.BR unshare (2),
+the contents of the
+.I timens_offsets
+file are inherited from the time namespace of the creating process.
+.SH NOTES
+Use of time namespaces requires a kernel that is configured with the
+.B CONFIG_TIME_NS
+option.
+.PP
+Note that time namespaces do not virtualize the
+.B CLOCK_REALTIME
+clock.
+Virtualization of this clock was avoided for reasons of complexity
+and overhead within the kernel.
+.PP
+For compatibility with the initial implementation, when writing a
+.I clock-id
+to the
+.IR /proc/ pid /timens_offsets
+file, the numerical values of the IDs can be written
+instead of the symbolic names show above; i.e., 1 instead of
+.IR monotonic ,
+and 7 instead of
+.IR boottime .
+For readability, the use of the symbolic names over the numbers is preferred.
+.PP
+The motivation for adding time namespaces was to allow
+the monotonic and boot-time clocks to maintain consistent values
+during container migration and checkpoint/restore.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The following shell session demonstrates the operation of time namespaces.
+We begin by displaying the inode number of the time namespace
+of a shell in the initial time namespace:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+$ \fBreadlink /proc/$$/ns/time\fP
+time:[4026531834]
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+Continuing in the initial time namespace, we display the system uptime using
+.BR uptime (1)
+and use the
+.I clock_times
+example program shown in
+.BR clock_getres (2)
+to display the values of various clocks:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+$ \fBuptime \-\-pretty\fP
+up 21 hours, 17 minutes
+$ \fB./clock_times\fP
+CLOCK_REALTIME : 1585989401.971 (18356 days + 8h 36m 41s)
+CLOCK_TAI : 1585989438.972 (18356 days + 8h 37m 18s)
+CLOCK_MONOTONIC: 56338.247 (15h 38m 58s)
+CLOCK_BOOTTIME : 76633.544 (21h 17m 13s)
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+We then use
+.BR unshare (1)
+to create a time namespace and execute a
+.BR bash (1)
+shell.
+From the new shell, we use the built-in
+.B echo
+command to write records to the
+.I timens_offsets
+file adjusting the offset for the
+.B CLOCK_MONOTONIC
+clock forward 2 days
+and the offset for the
+.B CLOCK_BOOTTIME
+clock forward 7 days:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+$ \fBPS1="ns2# " sudo unshare \-T \-\- bash \-\-norc\fP
+ns2# \fBecho "monotonic $((2*24*60*60)) 0" > /proc/$$/timens_offsets\fP
+ns2# \fBecho "boottime $((7*24*60*60)) 0" > /proc/$$/timens_offsets\fP
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+Above, we started the
+.BR bash (1)
+shell with the
+.B \-\-norc
+option so that no start-up scripts were executed.
+This ensures that no child processes are created from the
+shell before we have a chance to update the
+.I timens_offsets
+file.
+.PP
+We then use
+.BR cat (1)
+to display the contents of the
+.I timens_offsets
+file.
+The execution of
+.BR cat (1)
+creates the first process in the new time namespace,
+after which further attempts to update the
+.I timens_offsets
+file produce an error.
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+ns2# \fBcat /proc/$$/timens_offsets\fP
+monotonic 172800 0
+boottime 604800 0
+ns2# \fBecho "boottime $((9*24*60*60)) 0" > /proc/$$/timens_offsets\fP
+bash: echo: write error: Permission denied
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+Continuing in the new namespace, we execute
+.BR uptime (1)
+and the
+.I clock_times
+example program:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+ns2# \fBuptime \-\-pretty\fP
+up 1 week, 21 hours, 18 minutes
+ns2# \fB./clock_times\fP
+CLOCK_REALTIME : 1585989457.056 (18356 days + 8h 37m 37s)
+CLOCK_TAI : 1585989494.057 (18356 days + 8h 38m 14s)
+CLOCK_MONOTONIC: 229193.332 (2 days + 15h 39m 53s)
+CLOCK_BOOTTIME : 681488.629 (7 days + 21h 18m 8s)
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+From the above output, we can see that the monotonic
+and boot-time clocks have different values in the new time namespace.
+.PP
+Examining the
+.IR /proc/ pid /ns/time
+and
+.IR /proc/ pid /ns/time_for_children
+symbolic links, we see that the shell is a member of the initial time
+namespace, but its children are created in the new namespace.
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+ns2# \fBreadlink /proc/$$/ns/time\fP
+time:[4026531834]
+ns2# \fBreadlink /proc/$$/ns/time_for_children\fP
+time:[4026532900]
+ns2# \fBreadlink /proc/self/ns/time\fP # Creates a child process
+time:[4026532900]
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+Returning to the shell in the initial time namespace,
+we see that the monotonic and boot-time clocks
+are unaffected by the
+.I timens_offsets
+changes that were made in the other time namespace:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+$ \fBuptime \-\-pretty\fP
+up 21 hours, 19 minutes
+$ \fB./clock_times\fP
+CLOCK_REALTIME : 1585989401.971 (18356 days + 8h 38m 51s)
+CLOCK_TAI : 1585989438.972 (18356 days + 8h 39m 28s)
+CLOCK_MONOTONIC: 56338.247 (15h 41m 8s)

+.TH udp 7 2023-07-15 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+udp \- User Datagram Protocol for IPv4
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <sys/socket.h>
+.B #include <netinet/in.h>
+.B #include <netinet/udp.h>
+.PP
+.IB udp_socket " = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);"
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This is an implementation of the User Datagram Protocol
+described in RFC\ 768.
+It implements a connectionless, unreliable datagram packet service.
+Packets may be reordered or duplicated before they arrive.
+UDP generates and checks checksums to catch transmission errors.
+.PP
+When a UDP socket is created,
+its local and remote addresses are unspecified.
+Datagrams can be sent immediately using
+.BR sendto (2)
+or
+.BR sendmsg (2)
+with a valid destination address as an argument.
+When
+.BR connect (2)
+is called on the socket, the default destination address is set and
+datagrams can now be sent using
+.BR send (2)
+or
+.BR write (2)
+without specifying a destination address.
+It is still possible to send to other destinations by passing an
+address to
+.BR sendto (2)
+or
+.BR sendmsg (2).
+In order to receive packets, the socket can be bound to a local
+address first by using
+.BR bind (2).
+Otherwise, the socket layer will automatically assign
+a free local port out of the range defined by
+.I /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
+and bind the socket to
+.BR INADDR_ANY .
+.PP
+All receive operations return only one packet.
+When the packet is smaller than the passed buffer, only that much
+data is returned; when it is bigger, the packet is truncated and the
+.B MSG_TRUNC
+flag is set.
+.B MSG_WAITALL
+is not supported.
+.PP
+IP options may be sent or received using the socket options described in
+.BR ip (7).
+They are processed by the kernel only when the appropriate
+.I /proc
+parameter
+is enabled (but still passed to the user even when it is turned off).
+See
+.BR ip (7).
+.PP
+When the
+.B MSG_DONTROUTE
+flag is set on sending, the destination address must refer to a local
+interface address and the packet is sent only to that interface.
+.PP
+By default, Linux UDP does path MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) discovery.
+This means the kernel
+will keep track of the MTU to a specific target IP address and return
+.B EMSGSIZE
+when a UDP packet write exceeds it.
+When this happens, the application should decrease the packet size.
+Path MTU discovery can be also turned off using the
+.B IP_MTU_DISCOVER
+socket option or the
+.I /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_no_pmtu_disc
+file; see
+.BR ip (7)
+for details.
+When turned off, UDP will fragment outgoing UDP packets
+that exceed the interface MTU.
+However, disabling it is not recommended
+for performance and reliability reasons.
+.SS Address format
+UDP uses the IPv4
+.I sockaddr_in
+address format described in
+.BR ip (7).
+.SS Error handling
+All fatal errors will be passed to the user as an error return even
+when the socket is not connected.
+This includes asynchronous errors
+received from the network.
+You may get an error for an earlier packet
+that was sent on the same socket.
+This behavior differs from many other BSD socket implementations
+which don't pass any errors unless the socket is connected.
+Linux's behavior is mandated by
+.BR RFC\ 1122 .
+.PP
+For compatibility with legacy code, in Linux 2.0 and 2.2
+it was possible to set the
+.B SO_BSDCOMPAT
+.B SOL_SOCKET
+option to receive remote errors only when the socket has been
+connected (except for
+.B EPROTO
+and
+.BR EMSGSIZE ).
+Locally generated errors are always passed.
+Support for this socket option was removed in later kernels; see
+.BR socket (7)
+for further information.
+.PP
+When the
+.B IP_RECVERR
+option is enabled, all errors are stored in the socket error queue,
+and can be received by
+.BR recvmsg (2)
+with the
+.B MSG_ERRQUEUE
+flag set.
+.SS /proc interfaces
+System-wide UDP parameter settings can be accessed by files in the directory
+.IR /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ .
+.TP
+.IR udp_mem " (since Linux 2.6.25)"
+This is a vector of three integers governing the number
+of pages allowed for queueing by all UDP sockets.
+.RS
+.TP
+.I min
+Below this number of pages, UDP is not bothered about its
+memory appetite.
+When the amount of memory allocated by UDP exceeds
+this number, UDP starts to moderate memory usage.
+.TP
+.I pressure
+This value was introduced to follow the format of
+.I tcp_mem
+(see
+.BR tcp (7)).
+.TP
+.I max
+Number of pages allowed for queueing by all UDP sockets.
+.RE
+.IP
+Defaults values for these three items are
+calculated at boot time from the amount of available memory.
+.TP
+.IR udp_rmem_min " (integer; default value: PAGE_SIZE; since Linux 2.6.25)"
+Minimal size, in bytes, of receive buffers used by UDP sockets in moderation.
+Each UDP socket is able to use the size for receiving data,
+even if total pages of UDP sockets exceed
+.I udp_mem
+pressure.
+.TP
+.IR udp_wmem_min " (integer; default value: PAGE_SIZE; since Linux 2.6.25)"
+Minimal size, in bytes, of send buffer used by UDP sockets in moderation.
+Each UDP socket is able to use the size for sending data,
+even if total pages of UDP sockets exceed
+.I udp_mem
+pressure.
+.SS Socket options
+To set or get a UDP socket option, call
+.BR getsockopt (2)
+to read or
+.BR setsockopt (2)
+to write the option with the option level argument set to
+.BR IPPROTO_UDP .
+Unless otherwise noted,
+.I optval
+is a pointer to an
+.IR int .
+.PP
+Following is a list of UDP-specific socket options.
+For details of some other socket options that are also applicable
+for UDP sockets, see
+.BR socket (7).
+.TP
+.BR UDP_CORK " (since Linux 2.5.44)"
+If this option is enabled, then all data output on this socket
+is accumulated into a single datagram that is transmitted when
+the option is disabled.
+This option should not be used in code intended to be
+portable.

+.BR UDP_SEGMENT " (since Linux 4.18)"
+Enables UDP segmentation offload.
+Segmentation offload reduces
+.BR send (2)
+cost by transferring multiple datagrams worth of data
+as a single large packet through the kernel transmit path,
+even when that exceeds MTU.
+As late as possible,
+the large packet is split by segment size into a series of datagrams.
+This segmentation offload step is deferred to hardware if supported,
+else performed in software.
+This option takes a value in the range
+.RB [ 0 ,\~ USHRT_MAX ]
+that sets the segment size:
+the size of datagram payload,
+excluding the UDP header.
+The segment size must be chosen such that
+at most 64 datagrams are sent in a single call
+and that the datagrams after segmentation meet
+the same MTU rules that apply to datagrams sent without this option.
+Segmentation offload depends on checksum offload,
+as datagram checksums are computed after segmentation.
+The option may also be set for individual
+.BR sendmsg (2)
+calls by passing it as a
+.BR cmsg (3).
+A value of zero disables the feature.
+This option should not be used in code intended to be portable.
+.TP
+.BR UDP_GRO " (since Linux 5.0)"
+Enables UDP receive offload.
+If enabled,
+the socket may receive multiple datagrams worth of data
+as a single large buffer,
+together with a
+.BR cmsg (3)
+that holds the segment size.
+This option is the inverse of segmentation offload.
+It reduces receive cost by handling multiple datagrams worth of data
+as a single large packet in the kernel receive path,
+even when that exceeds MTU.
+This option should not be used in code intended to be portable.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This is an implementation of the Lightweight User Datagram Protocol
+(UDP-Lite), as described in RFC\ 3828.
+.PP
+UDP-Lite is an extension of UDP (RFC\ 768) to support variable-length
+checksums.
+This has advantages for some types of multimedia transport that
+may be able to make use of slightly damaged datagrams,
+rather than having them discarded by lower-layer protocols.
+.PP
+The variable-length checksum coverage is set via a
+.BR setsockopt (2)
+option.
+If this option is not set, the only difference from UDP is
+in using a different IP protocol identifier (IANA number 136).
+.PP
+The UDP-Lite implementation is a full extension of
+.BR udp (7)\[em]that
+is, it shares the same API and API behavior, and in addition
+offers two socket options to control the checksum coverage.
+.SS Address format
+UDP-Litev4 uses the
+.I sockaddr_in
+address format described in
+.BR ip (7).
+UDP-Litev6 uses the
+.I sockaddr_in6
+address format described in
+.BR ipv6 (7).
+.SS Socket options
+To set or get a UDP-Lite socket option, call
+.BR getsockopt (2)

+In addition, all

+socket options are valid on a UDP-Lite socket.
+See
+.BR udp (7)
+for more information.
+.PP
+The following two options are specific to UDP-Lite.
+.TP
+.B UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV
+This option sets the sender checksum coverage and takes an
+.I int
+as argument, with a checksum coverage value in the range 0..2\[ha]16-1.
+.IP
+A value of 0 means that the entire datagram is always covered.
+Values from 1\-7 are illegal (RFC\ 3828, 3.1) and are rounded up to
+the minimum coverage of 8.
+.IP
+With regard to IPv6 jumbograms (RFC\ 2675), the UDP-Litev6 checksum
+coverage is limited to the first 2\[ha]16-1 octets, as per RFC\ 3828, 3.5.
+Higher values are therefore silently truncated to 2\[ha]16-1.
+If in doubt, the current coverage value can always be queried using
+.BR getsockopt (2).
+.TP
+.B UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV
+This is the receiver-side analogue and uses the same argument format
+and value range as
+.BR UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV .
+This option is not required to enable traffic with partial checksum
+coverage.
+Its function is that of a traffic filter: when enabled, it
+instructs the kernel to drop all packets which have a coverage
+.I less
+than the specified coverage value.
+.IP
+When the value of
+.B UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV
+exceeds the actual packet coverage, incoming packets are silently dropped,
+but may generate a warning message in the system log.

+.SH NAME
+unicode \- universal character set
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The international standard ISO/IEC 10646 defines the
+Universal Character Set (UCS).
+UCS contains all characters of all other character set standards.
+It also guarantees "round-trip compatibility";
+in other words,
+conversion tables can be built such that no information is lost
+when a string is converted from any other encoding to UCS and back.
+.PP
+UCS contains the characters required to represent practically all
+known languages.
+This includes not only the Latin, Greek, Cyrillic,
+Hebrew, Arabic, Armenian, and Georgian scripts, but also Chinese,
+Japanese and Korean Han ideographs as well as scripts such as
+Hiragana, Katakana, Hangul, Devanagari, Bengali, Gurmukhi, Gujarati,
+Oriya, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Thai, Lao, Khmer, Bopomofo,
+Tibetan, Runic, Ethiopic, Canadian Syllabics, Cherokee, Mongolian,
+Ogham, Myanmar, Sinhala, Thaana, Yi, and others.
+For scripts not yet
+covered, research on how to best encode them for computer usage is
+still going on and they will be added eventually.
+This might
+eventually include not only Hieroglyphs and various historic
+Indo-European languages, but even some selected artistic scripts such
+as Tengwar, Cirth, and Klingon.
+UCS also covers a large number of
+graphical, typographical, mathematical, and scientific symbols,
+including those provided by TeX, Postscript, APL, MS-DOS, MS-Windows,
+Macintosh, OCR fonts, as well as many word processing and publishing
+systems, and more are being added.
+.PP
+The UCS standard (ISO/IEC 10646) describes a
+31-bit character set architecture
+consisting of 128 24-bit
+.IR groups ,
+each divided into 256 16-bit
+.I planes
+made up of 256 8-bit
+.I rows
+with 256
+.I column
+positions, one for each character.
+Part 1 of the standard (ISO/IEC 10646-1)
+defines the first 65534 code positions (0x0000 to 0xfffd), which form
+the
+.I Basic Multilingual Plane
+(BMP), that is plane 0 in group 0.
+Part 2 of the standard (ISO/IEC 10646-2)
+adds characters to group 0 outside the BMP in several
+.I "supplementary planes"
+in the range 0x10000 to 0x10ffff.
+There are no plans to add characters
+beyond 0x10ffff to the standard, therefore of the entire code space,
+only a small fraction of group 0 will ever be actually used in the
+foreseeable future.
+The BMP contains all characters found in the
+commonly used other character sets.
+The supplemental planes added by
+ISO/IEC 10646-2 cover only more exotic characters for special scientific,
+dictionary printing, publishing industry, higher-level protocol and
+enthusiast needs.
+.PP
+The representation of each UCS character as a 2-byte word is referred
+to as the UCS-2 form (only for BMP characters),
+whereas UCS-4 is the representation of each character by a 4-byte word.
+In addition, there exist two encoding forms UTF-8
+for backward compatibility with ASCII processing software and UTF-16
+for the backward-compatible handling of non-BMP characters up to
+0x10ffff by UCS-2 software.
+.PP
+The UCS characters 0x0000 to 0x007f are identical to those of the
+classic US-ASCII
+character set and the characters in the range 0x0000 to 0x00ff
+are identical to those in
+ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1).
+.SS Combining characters
+Some code points in UCS
+have been assigned to
+.IR "combining characters" .
+These are similar to the nonspacing accent keys on a typewriter.
+A combining character just adds an accent to the previous character.
+The most important accented characters have codes of their own in UCS,
+however, the combining character mechanism allows us to add accents
+and other diacritical marks to any character.
+The combining characters
+always follow the character which they modify.
+For example, the German
+character Umlaut-A ("Latin capital letter A with diaeresis") can
+either be represented by the precomposed UCS code 0x00c4, or
+alternatively as the combination of a normal "Latin capital letter A"
+followed by a "combining diaeresis": 0x0041 0x0308.
+.PP
+Combining characters are essential for instance for encoding the Thai
+script or for mathematical typesetting and users of the International
+Phonetic Alphabet.
+.SS Implementation levels
+As not all systems are expected to support advanced mechanisms like
+combining characters, ISO/IEC 10646-1 specifies the following three
+.I implementation levels
+of UCS:
+.TP 0.9i
+Level 1
+Combining characters and Hangul Jamo
+(a variant encoding of the Korean script, where a Hangul syllable
+glyph is coded as a triplet or pair of vowel/consonant codes) are not
+supported.
+.TP
+Level 2
+In addition to level 1, combining characters are now allowed for some
+languages where they are essential (e.g., Thai, Lao, Hebrew,
+Arabic, Devanagari, Malayalam).
+.TP
+Level 3
+All UCS characters are supported.
+.PP
+The Unicode 3.0 Standard
+published by the Unicode Consortium
+contains exactly the UCS Basic Multilingual Plane
+at implementation level 3, as described in ISO/IEC 10646-1:2000.
+Unicode 3.1 added the supplemental planes of ISO/IEC 10646-2.
+The Unicode standard and
+technical reports published by the Unicode Consortium provide much
+additional information on the semantics and recommended usages of
+various characters.
+They provide guidelines and algorithms for
+editing, sorting, comparing, normalizing, converting, and displaying
+Unicode strings.
+.SS Unicode under Linux
+Under GNU/Linux, the C type
+.I wchar_t
+is a signed 32-bit integer type.
+Its values are always interpreted
+by the C library as UCS
+code values (in all locales), a convention that is signaled by the GNU
+C library to applications by defining the constant
+.B __STDC_ISO_10646__
+as specified in the ISO C99 standard.
+.PP
+UCS/Unicode can be used just like ASCII in input/output streams,
+terminal communication, plaintext files, filenames, and environment
+variables in the ASCII compatible UTF-8 multibyte encoding.
+To signal the use of UTF-8 as the character
+encoding to all applications, a suitable
+.I locale
+has to be selected via environment variables (e.g.,
+"LANG=en_GB.UTF-8").
+.PP
+The
+.B nl_langinfo(CODESET)
+function returns the name of the selected encoding.
+Library functions such as
+.BR wctomb (3)
+and
+.BR mbsrtowcs (3)
+can be used to transform the internal
+.I wchar_t
+characters and strings into the system character encoding and back
+and
+.BR wcwidth (3)
+tells how many positions (0\[en]2) the cursor is advanced by the
+output of a character.
+.SS Private Use Areas (PUA)
+In the Basic Multilingual Plane,
+the range 0xe000 to 0xf8ff will never be assigned to any characters by
+the standard and is reserved for private usage.
+For the Linux
+community, this private area has been subdivided further into the
+range 0xe000 to 0xefff which can be used individually by any end-user
+and the Linux zone in the range 0xf000 to 0xf8ff where extensions are
+coordinated among all Linux users.
+The registry of the characters
+assigned to the Linux zone is maintained by LANANA and the registry
+itself is
+.I Documentation/admin\-guide/unicode.rst
+in the Linux kernel sources
+.\" commit 9d85025b0418163fae079c9ba8f8445212de8568
+(or
+.I Documentation/unicode.txt
+before Linux 4.10).
+.PP
+Two other planes are reserved for private usage, plane 15
+(Supplementary Private Use Area-A, range 0xf0000 to 0xffffd)
+and plane 16 (Supplementary Private Use Area-B, range
+0x100000 to 0x10fffd).

+.SS Discussion
+Before these binary prefixes were introduced, it was fairly
+common to use k=1000 and K=1024, just like b=bit, B=byte.
+Unfortunately, the M is capital already, and cannot be
+capitalized to indicate binary-ness.
+.PP
+At first that didn't matter too much, since memory modules
+and disks came in sizes that were powers of two, so everyone
+knew that in such contexts "kilobyte" and "megabyte" meant
+1024 and 1048576 bytes, respectively.
+What originally was a
+sloppy use of the prefixes "kilo" and "mega" started to become
+regarded as the "real true meaning" when computers were involved.
+But then disk technology changed, and disk sizes became arbitrary numbers.
+After a period of uncertainty all disk manufacturers settled on the
+standard, namely k=1000, M=1000\ k, G=1000\ M.
+.PP
+The situation was messy: in the 14k4 modems, k=1000; in the 1.44\ MB
+.\" also common: 14.4k modem
+diskettes, M=1024000; and so on.
+In 1998 the IEC approved the standard
+that defines the binary prefixes given above, enabling people
+to be precise and unambiguous.
+.PP
+Thus, today, MB = 1000000\ B and MiB = 1048576\ B.
+.PP
+In the free software world programs are slowly
+being changed to conform.

+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B AF_UNIX
+(also known as
+.BR AF_LOCAL )
+socket family is used to communicate between processes on the same machine
+efficiently.
+Traditionally, UNIX domain sockets can be either unnamed,
+or bound to a filesystem pathname (marked as being of type socket).
+Linux also supports an abstract namespace which is independent of the
+filesystem.
+.PP
+Valid socket types in the UNIX domain are:
+.BR SOCK_STREAM ,
+for a stream-oriented socket;
+.BR SOCK_DGRAM ,
+for a datagram-oriented socket that preserves message boundaries
+(as on most UNIX implementations, UNIX domain datagram
+sockets are always reliable and don't reorder datagrams);
+and (since Linux 2.6.4)
+.BR SOCK_SEQPACKET ,
+for a sequenced-packet socket that is connection-oriented,
+preserves message boundaries,
+and delivers messages in the order that they were sent.
+.PP
+UNIX domain sockets support passing file descriptors or process credentials
+to other processes using ancillary data.
+.SS Address format
+A UNIX domain socket address is represented in the following structure:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+.\" #define UNIX_PATH_MAX 108
+.\"
+struct sockaddr_un {
+ sa_family_t sun_family; /* AF_UNIX */
+ char sun_path[108]; /* Pathname */
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+The
+.I sun_family
+field always contains
+.BR AF_UNIX .
+On Linux,
+.I sun_path
+is 108 bytes in size; see also BUGS, below.
+.PP
+Various systems calls (for example,
+.BR bind (2),
+.BR connect (2),
+and
+.BR sendto (2))
+take a
+.I sockaddr_un
+argument as input.
+Some other system calls (for example,
+.BR getsockname (2),
+.BR getpeername (2),
+.BR recvfrom (2),
+and
+.BR accept (2))
+return an argument of this type.
+.PP
+Three types of address are distinguished in the
+.I sockaddr_un
+structure:
+.TP
+pathname
+a UNIX domain socket can be bound to a null-terminated
+filesystem pathname using
+.BR bind (2).
+When the address of a pathname socket is returned
+(by one of the system calls noted above),
+its length is
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+offsetof(struct sockaddr_un, sun_path) + strlen(sun_path) + 1
+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+and
+.I sun_path
+contains the null-terminated pathname.
+(On Linux, the above
+.BR offsetof ()
+expression equates to the same value as
+.IR sizeof(sa_family_t) ,
+but some other implementations include other fields before
+.IR sun_path ,
+so the
+.BR offsetof ()
+expression more portably describes the size of the address structure.)
+.IP
+For further details of pathname sockets, see below.
+.TP
+unnamed
+A stream socket that has not been bound to a pathname using
+.BR bind (2)
+has no name.
+Likewise, the two sockets created by
+.BR socketpair (2)
+are unnamed.
+When the address of an unnamed socket is returned,
+its length is
+.IR "sizeof(sa_family_t)" ,
+and
+.I sun_path
+should not be inspected.
+.\" There is quite some variation across implementations: FreeBSD
+.\" says the length is 16 bytes, HP-UX 11 says it's zero bytes.
+.TP
+abstract
+an abstract socket address is distinguished (from a pathname socket)
+by the fact that
+.I sun_path[0]
+is a null byte (\[aq]\e0\[aq]).
+The socket's address in this namespace is given by the additional
+bytes in
+.I sun_path
+that are covered by the specified length of the address structure.
+(Null bytes in the name have no special significance.)
+The name has no connection with filesystem pathnames.
+When the address of an abstract socket is returned,
+the returned
+.I addrlen
+is greater than
+.I sizeof(sa_family_t)
+(i.e., greater than 2), and the name of the socket is contained in
+the first
+.I (addrlen \- sizeof(sa_family_t))
+bytes of
+.IR sun_path .
+.SS Pathname sockets
+When binding a socket to a pathname, a few rules should be observed
+for maximum portability and ease of coding:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The pathname in
+.I sun_path
+should be null-terminated.
+.IP \[bu]
+The length of the pathname, including the terminating null byte,
+should not exceed the size of
+.IR sun_path .
+.IP \[bu]
+The
+.I addrlen
+argument that describes the enclosing
+.I sockaddr_un
+structure should have a value of at least:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+offsetof(struct sockaddr_un, sun_path)+strlen(addr.sun_path)+1
+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+or, more simply,
+.I addrlen
+can be specified as
+.IR "sizeof(struct sockaddr_un)" .
+.PP
+There is some variation in how implementations handle UNIX domain
+socket addresses that do not follow the above rules.
+For example, some (but not all) implementations
+.\" Linux does this, including for the case where the supplied path
+.\" is 108 bytes
+append a null terminator if none is present in the supplied
+.IR sun_path .
+.PP
+When coding portable applications,
+keep in mind that some implementations
+.\" HP-UX
+have
+.I sun_path

+.SS Pathname socket ownership and permissions
+In the Linux implementation,

+flag for
+.BR send (2)
+and

+was not supported by UNIX domain sockets.
+.PP
+The
+.B SO_SNDBUF
+socket option does have an effect for UNIX domain sockets, but the
+.B SO_RCVBUF
+option does not.
+For datagram sockets, the
+.B SO_SNDBUF
+value imposes an upper limit on the size of outgoing datagrams.
+This limit is calculated as the doubled (see
+.BR socket (7))
+option value less 32 bytes used for overhead.
+.SS Ancillary messages
+Ancillary data is sent and received using
+.BR sendmsg (2)
+and
+.BR recvmsg (2).
+For historical reasons, the ancillary message types listed below
+are specified with a

+.BR cmsg (3).
+.TP
+.B SCM_RIGHTS
+Send or receive a set of open file descriptors from another process.
+The data portion contains an integer array of the file descriptors.
+.IP
+Commonly, this operation is referred to as "passing a file descriptor"
+to another process.
+However, more accurately,
+what is being passed is a reference to an open file description (see
+.BR open (2)),
+and in the receiving process it is likely that a different
+file descriptor number will be used.
+Semantically, this operation is equivalent to duplicating
+.RB ( dup (2))
+a file descriptor into the file descriptor table of another process.
+.IP
+If the buffer used to receive the ancillary data containing
+file descriptors is too small (or is absent),
+then the ancillary data is truncated (or discarded)
+and the excess file descriptors are automatically closed
+in the receiving process.

+The credentials which the sender specifies are checked by the kernel.
+A privileged process is allowed to specify values that do not match its own.

+.SH BUGS
+When binding a socket to an address,
+Linux is one of the implementations that appends a null terminator
+if none is supplied in

+it will be one byte longer than that supplied when the socket was bound.
+However, there is one case where confusing behavior can result:
+if 108 non-null bytes are supplied when a socket is bound,
+then the addition of the null terminator takes the length of
+the pathname beyond
+.IR sizeof(sun_path) .
+Consequently, when retrieving the socket address
+(for example, via
+.BR accept (2)),
+.\" The behavior on Solaris is quite similar.
+if the input
+.I addrlen
+argument for the retrieving call is specified as

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a short string of characters
+identifying an abstract or physical resource (for example, a web page).
+A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a URI
+that identifies a resource through its primary access
+mechanism (e.g., its network "location"), rather than
+by name or some other attribute of that resource.
+A Uniform Resource Name (URN) is a URI
+that must remain globally unique and persistent even when
+the resource ceases to exist or becomes unavailable.
+.PP
+URIs are the standard way to name hypertext link destinations
+for tools such as web browsers.
+The string "http://www.kernel.org" is a URL (and thus it
+is also a URI).
+Many people use the term URL loosely as a synonym for URI
+(though technically URLs are a subset of URIs).
+.PP
+URIs can be absolute or relative.
+An absolute identifier refers to a resource independent of
+context, while a relative
+identifier refers to a resource by describing the difference
+from the current context.
+Within a relative path reference, the complete path segments "." and
+".." have special meanings: "the current hierarchy level" and "the
+level above this hierarchy level", respectively, just like they do in
+UNIX-like systems.
+A path segment which contains a colon
+character can't be used as the first segment of a relative URI path
+(e.g., "this:that"), because it would be mistaken for a scheme name;
+precede such segments with ./ (e.g., "./this:that").
+Note that descendants of MS-DOS (e.g., Microsoft Windows) replace
+devicename colons with the vertical bar ("|") in URIs, so "C:" becomes "C|".
+.PP
+A fragment identifier,
+if included,
+refers to a particular named portion (fragment) of a resource;
+text after a \[aq]#\[aq] identifies the fragment.
+A URI beginning with \[aq]#\[aq]
+refers to that fragment in the current resource.
+.SS Usage
+There are many different URI schemes, each with specific
+additional rules and meanings, but they are intentionally made to be
+as similar as possible.
+For example, many URL schemes
+permit the authority to be the following format, called here an
+.I ip_server
+(square brackets show what's optional):
+.PP
+.IR "ip_server = " [ user " [ : " password " ] @ ] " host " [ : " port ]
+.PP
+This format allows you to optionally insert a username,
+a user plus password, and/or a port number.
+The
+.I host
+is the name of the host computer, either its name as determined by DNS
+or an IP address (numbers separated by periods).
+Thus the URI
+<http://fred:fredpassword@example.com:8080/>
+logs into a web server on host example.com
+as fred (using fredpassword) using port 8080.
+Avoid including a password in a URI if possible because of the many
+security risks of having a password written down.
+If the URL supplies a username but no password, and the remote
+server requests a password, the program interpreting the URL
+should request one from the user.
+.PP
+Here are some of the most common schemes in use on UNIX-like systems
+that are understood by many tools.
+Note that many tools using URIs also have internal schemes or specialized
+schemes; see those tools' documentation for information on those schemes.
+.PP
+.B "http \- Web (HTTP) server"
+.PP
+.RI http:// ip_server / path
+.br
+.RI http:// ip_server / path ? query
+.PP
+This is a URL accessing a web (HTTP) server.
+The default port is 80.
+If the path refers to a directory, the web server will choose what
+to return; usually if there is a file named "index.html" or "index.htm"
+its content is returned, otherwise, a list of the files in the current
+directory (with appropriate links) is generated and returned.
+An example is <http://lwn.net>.
+.PP
+A query can be given in the archaic "isindex" format, consisting of a
+word or phrase and not including an equal sign (=).
+A query can also be in the longer "GET" format, which has one or more
+query entries of the form
+.IR key = value
+separated by the ampersand character (&).
+Note that
+.I key
+can be repeated more than once, though it's up to the web server
+and its application programs to determine if there's any meaning to that.
+There is an unfortunate interaction with HTML/XML/SGML and
+the GET query format; when such URIs with more than one key
+are embedded in SGML/XML documents (including HTML), the ampersand
+(&) has to be rewritten as &amp;.
+Note that not all queries use this format; larger forms
+may be too long to store as a URI, so they use a different
+interaction mechanism (called POST) which does
+not include the data in the URI.
+See the Common Gateway Interface specification at
+.UR http://www.w3.org\:/CGI
+.UE
+for more information.
+.PP
+.B "ftp \- File Transfer Protocol (FTP)"
+.PP
+.RI ftp:// ip_server / path
+.PP
+This is a URL accessing a file through the file transfer protocol (FTP).
+The default port (for control) is 21.
+If no username is included, the username "anonymous" is supplied, and
+in that case many clients provide as the password the requestor's
+Internet email address.
+An example is
+<ftp://ftp.is.co.za/rfc/rfc1808.txt>.
+.PP
+.B "gopher \- Gopher server"
+.PP
+.RI gopher:// ip_server / "gophertype selector"
+.br
+.RI gopher:// ip_server / "gophertype selector" %09 search
+.br
+.RI gopher:// ip_server / "gophertype selector" %09 search %09 gopher+_string
+.br
+.PP
+The default gopher port is 70.
+.I gophertype
+is a single-character field to denote the
+Gopher type of the resource to
+which the URL refers.
+The entire path may also be empty, in
+which case the delimiting "/" is also optional and the gophertype
+defaults to "1".
+.PP
+.I selector
+is the Gopher selector string.
+In the Gopher protocol,
+Gopher selector strings are a sequence of octets which may contain
+any octets except 09 hexadecimal (US-ASCII HT or tab), 0A hexadecimal
+(US-ASCII character LF), and 0D (US-ASCII character CR).
+.PP
+.B "mailto \- Email address"
+.PP
+.RI mailto: email-address
+.PP
+This is an email address, usually of the form
+.IR name @ hostname .
+See
+.BR mailaddr (7)
+for more information on the correct format of an email address.
+Note that any % character must be rewritten as %25.
+An example is <mailto:dwheeler@dwheeler.com>.
+.PP
+.B "news \- Newsgroup or News message"
+.PP
+.RI news: newsgroup-name
+.br
+.RI news: message-id
+.PP
+A
+.I newsgroup-name
+is a period-delimited hierarchical name, such as
+"comp.infosystems.www.misc".
+If <newsgroup-name> is "*" (as in <news:*>), it is used to refer
+to "all available news groups".
+An example is <news:comp.lang.ada>.
+.PP
+A
+.I message-id
+corresponds to the Message-ID of
+.UR http://www.ietf.org\:/rfc\:/rfc1036.txt
+IETF RFC\ 1036,
+.UE
+without the enclosing "<"
+and ">"; it takes the form
+.IR unique @ full_domain_name .
+A message identifier may be distinguished from a news group name by the
+presence of the "@" character.
+.PP
+.B "telnet \- Telnet login"
+.PP
+.RI telnet:// ip_server /
+.PP
+The Telnet URL scheme is used to designate interactive text services that
+may be accessed by the Telnet protocol.
+The final "/" character may be omitted.
+The default port is 23.
+An example is <telnet://melvyl.ucop.edu/>.
+.PP
+.B "file \- Normal file"
+.PP
+.RI file:// ip_server / path_segments
+.br
+.RI file: path_segments
+.PP
+This represents a file or directory accessible locally.
+As a special case,
+.I ip_server
+can be the string "localhost" or the empty
+string; this is interpreted as "the machine from which the URL is
+being interpreted".
+If the path is to a directory, the viewer should display the
+directory's contents with links to each containee;
+not all viewers currently do this.
+KDE supports generated files through the URL <file:/cgi-bin>.
+If the given file isn't found, browser writers may want to try to expand
+the filename via filename globbing
+(see
+.BR glob (7)
+and
+.BR glob (3)).
+.PP
+The second format (e.g., <file:/etc/passwd>)
+is a correct format for referring to
+a local file.
+However, older standards did not permit this format,
+and some programs don't recognize this as a URI.
+A more portable syntax is to use an empty string as the server name,
+for example,
+<file:///etc/passwd>; this form does the same thing
+and is easily recognized by pattern matchers and older programs as a URI.
+Note that if you really mean to say "start from the current location", don't
+specify the scheme at all; use a relative address like <../test.txt>,
+which has the side-effect of being scheme-independent.
+An example of this scheme is <file:///etc/passwd>.
+.PP
+.B "man \- Man page documentation"
+.PP
+.RI man: command-name
+.br
+.RI man: command-name ( section )
+.PP
+This refers to local online manual (man) reference pages.
+The command name can optionally be followed by a
+parenthesis and section number; see
+.BR man (7)
+for more information on the meaning of the section numbers.
+This URI scheme is unique to UNIX-like systems (such as Linux)
+and is not currently registered by the IETF.
+An example is <man:ls(1)>.
+.PP
+.B "info \- Info page documentation"
+.PP
+.RI info: virtual-filename
+.br
+.RI info: virtual-filename # nodename
+.br
+.RI info:( virtual-filename )
+.br
+.RI info:( virtual-filename ) nodename
+.PP
+This scheme refers to online info reference pages (generated from
+texinfo files),
+a documentation format used by programs such as the GNU tools.
+This URI scheme is unique to UNIX-like systems (such as Linux)
+and is not currently registered by the IETF.
+As of this writing, GNOME and KDE differ in their URI syntax
+and do not accept the other's syntax.
+The first two formats are the GNOME format; in nodenames all spaces
+are written as underscores.
+The second two formats are the KDE format;
+spaces in nodenames must be written as spaces, even though this
+is forbidden by the URI standards.
+It's hoped that in the future most tools will understand all of these
+formats and will always accept underscores for spaces in nodenames.
+In both GNOME and KDE, if the form without the nodename is used the
+nodename is assumed to be "Top".
+Examples of the GNOME format are <info:gcc> and <info:gcc#G++_and_GCC>.
+Examples of the KDE format are <info:(gcc)> and <info:(gcc)G++ and GCC>.
+.PP
+.B "whatis \- Documentation search"
+.PP
+.RI whatis: string
+.PP
+This scheme searches the database of short (one-line) descriptions of
+commands and returns a list of descriptions containing that string.
+Only complete word matches are returned.
+See
+.BR whatis (1).
+This URI scheme is unique to UNIX-like systems (such as Linux)
+and is not currently registered by the IETF.
+.PP
+.B "ghelp \- GNOME help documentation"
+.PP
+.RI ghelp: name-of-application
+.PP
+This loads GNOME help for the given application.
+Note that not much documentation currently exists in this format.
+.PP
+.B "ldap \- Lightweight Directory Access Protocol"
+.PP
+.RI ldap:// hostport
+.br
+.RI ldap:// hostport /
+.br
+.RI ldap:// hostport / dn
+.br
+.RI ldap:// hostport / dn ? attributes
+.br
+.RI ldap:// hostport / dn ? attributes ? scope
+.br
+.RI ldap:// hostport / dn ? attributes ? scope ? filter
+.br
+.RI ldap:// hostport / dn ? attributes ? scope ? filter ? extensions
+.PP
+This scheme supports queries to the
+Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), a protocol for querying
+a set of servers for hierarchically organized information
+(such as people and computing resources).
+See
+.UR http://www.ietf.org\:/rfc\:/rfc2255.txt
+RFC\ 2255
+.UE
+for more information on the LDAP URL scheme.
+The components of this URL are:
+.TP
+hostport
+the LDAP server to query, written as a hostname optionally followed by
+a colon and the port number.
+The default LDAP port is TCP port 389.
+If empty, the client determines which the LDAP server to use.
+.TP
+dn
+the LDAP Distinguished Name, which identifies
+the base object of the LDAP search (see
+.UR http://www.ietf.org\:/rfc\:/rfc2253.txt
+RFC\ 2253
+.UE
+section 3).
+.TP
+attributes
+a comma-separated list of attributes to be returned;
+see RFC\ 2251 section 4.1.5.
+If omitted, all attributes should be returned.
+.TP
+scope
+specifies the scope of the search, which can be one of
+"base" (for a base object search), "one" (for a one-level search),
+or "sub" (for a subtree search).
+If scope is omitted, "base" is assumed.
+.TP
+filter
+specifies the search filter (subset of entries
+to return).
+If omitted, all entries should be returned.
+See
+.UR http://www.ietf.org\:/rfc\:/rfc2254.txt
+RFC\ 2254
+.UE
+section 4.
+.TP
+extensions
+a comma-separated list of type=value
+pairs, where the =value portion may be omitted for options not
+requiring it.
+An extension prefixed with a \[aq]!\[aq] is critical
+(must be supported to be valid), otherwise it is noncritical (optional).
+.PP
+LDAP queries are easiest to explain by example.
+Here's a query that asks ldap.itd.umich.edu for information about
+the University of Michigan in the U.S.:
+.PP
+.nf
+ldap://ldap.itd.umich.edu/o=University%20of%20Michigan,c=US
+.fi
+.PP
+To just get its postal address attribute, request:
+.PP
+.nf
+ldap://ldap.itd.umich.edu/o=University%20of%20Michigan,c=US?postalAddress
+.fi
+.PP
+To ask a host.com at port 6666 for information about the person
+with common name (cn) "Babs Jensen" at University of Michigan, request:
+.PP
+.nf
+ldap://host.com:6666/o=University%20of%20Michigan,c=US??sub?(cn=Babs%20Jensen)
+.fi
+.PP
+.B "wais \- Wide Area Information Servers"
+.PP
+.RI wais:// hostport / database
+.br
+.RI wais:// hostport / database ? search
+.br
+.RI wais:// hostport / database / wtype / wpath
+.PP
+This scheme designates a WAIS database, search, or document
+(see
+.UR http://www.ietf.org\:/rfc\:/rfc1625.txt
+IETF RFC\ 1625
+.UE
+for more information on WAIS).
+Hostport is the hostname, optionally followed by a colon and port number
+(the default port number is 210).
+.PP
+The first form designates a WAIS database for searching.
+The second form designates a particular search of the WAIS database
+.IR database .
+The third form designates a particular document within a WAIS
+database to be retrieved.
+.I wtype
+is the WAIS designation of the type of the object and
+.I wpath
+is the WAIS document-id.
+.PP
+.B "other schemes"
+.PP
+There are many other URI schemes.
+Most tools that accept URIs support a set of internal URIs
+(e.g., Mozilla has the about: scheme for internal information,
+and the GNOME help browser has the toc: scheme for various starting
+locations).
+There are many schemes that have been defined but are not as widely
+used at the current time
+(e.g., prospero).
+The nntp: scheme is deprecated in favor of the news: scheme.
+URNs are to be supported by the urn: scheme, with a hierarchical name space
+(e.g., urn:ietf:... would identify IETF documents); at this time
+URNs are not widely implemented.
+Not all tools support all schemes.
+.SS Character encoding
+URIs use a limited number of characters so that they can be
+typed in and used in a variety of situations.
+.PP
+The following characters are reserved, that is, they may appear in a
+URI but their use is limited to their reserved purpose
+(conflicting data must be escaped before forming the URI):
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+; / ? : @ & = + $ ,
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+Unreserved characters may be included in a URI.
+Unreserved characters
+include uppercase and lowercase Latin letters,
+decimal digits, and the following
+limited set of punctuation marks and symbols:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+\- _ . ! \[ti] * ' ( )
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+All other characters must be escaped.
+An escaped octet is encoded as a character triplet, consisting of the
+percent character "%" followed by the two hexadecimal digits
+representing the octet code (you can use uppercase or lowercase letters
+for the hexadecimal digits).
+For example, a blank space must be escaped
+as "%20", a tab character as "%09", and the "&" as "%26".
+Because the percent "%" character always has the reserved purpose of
+being the escape indicator, it must be escaped as "%25".
+It is common practice to escape space characters as the plus symbol (+)
+in query text; this practice isn't uniformly defined
+in the relevant RFCs (which recommend %20 instead) but any tool accepting
+URIs with query text should be prepared for them.
+A URI is always shown in its "escaped" form.
+.PP
+Unreserved characters can be escaped without changing the semantics
+of the URI, but this should not be done unless the URI is being used
+in a context that does not allow the unescaped character to appear.
+For example, "%7e" is sometimes used instead of "\[ti]" in an HTTP URL
+path, but the two are equivalent for an HTTP URL.
+.PP
+For URIs which must handle characters outside the US ASCII character set,
+the HTML 4.01 specification (section B.2) and
+IETF RFC\~3986 (last paragraph of section 2.5)
+recommend the following approach:
+.IP (1) 5
+translate the character sequences into UTF-8 (IETF RFC\~3629)\[em]see
+.BR utf\-8 (7)\[em]and
+then
+.IP (2)
+use the URI escaping mechanism, that is,
+use the %HH encoding for unsafe octets.
+.SS Writing a URI
+When written, URIs should be placed inside double quotes
+(e.g., "http://www.kernel.org"),
+enclosed in angle brackets (e.g., <http://lwn.net>),
+or placed on a line by themselves.
+A warning for those who use double-quotes:
+.B never
+move extraneous punctuation (such as the period ending a sentence or the
+comma in a list)
+inside a URI, since this will change the value of the URI.
+Instead, use angle brackets instead, or
+switch to a quoting system that never includes extraneous characters
+inside quotation marks.
+This latter system, called the 'new' or 'logical' quoting system by
+"Hart's Rules" and the "Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors",
+is preferred practice in Great Britain and in various European languages.
+Older documents suggested inserting the prefix "URL:"
+just before the URI, but this form has never caught on.
+.PP
+The URI syntax was designed to be unambiguous.
+However, as URIs have become commonplace, traditional media
+(television, radio, newspapers, billboards, etc.) have increasingly
+used abbreviated URI references consisting of
+only the authority and path portions of the identified resource
+(e.g., <www.w3.org/Addressing>).
+Such references are primarily
+intended for human interpretation rather than machine, with the
+assumption that context-based heuristics are sufficient to complete
+the URI (e.g., hostnames beginning with "www" are likely to have
+a URI prefix of "http://" and hostnames beginning with "ftp" likely
+to have a prefix of "ftp://").
+Many client implementations heuristically resolve these references.
+Such heuristics may
+change over time, particularly when new schemes are introduced.
+Since an abbreviated URI has the same syntax as a relative URL path,
+abbreviated URI references cannot be used where relative URIs are
+permitted, and can be used only when there is no defined base
+(such as in dialog boxes).
+Don't use abbreviated URIs as hypertext links inside a document;
+use the standard format as described here.

+(HTML 4.0)

+.SH NOTES
+Any tool accepting URIs (e.g., a web browser) on a Linux system should
+be able to handle (directly or indirectly) all of the
+schemes described here, including the man: and info: schemes.
+Handling them by invoking some other program is
+fine and in fact encouraged.
+.PP
+Technically the fragment isn't part of the URI.
+.PP
+For information on how to embed URIs (including URLs) in a data format,
+see documentation on that format.
+HTML uses the format <A HREF="\fIuri\fP">
+.I text
+</A>.
+Texinfo files use the format @uref{\fIuri\fP}.
+Man and mdoc have the recently added UR macro, or just include the
+URI in the text (viewers should be able to detect :// as part of a URI).
+.PP
+The GNOME and KDE desktop environments currently vary in the URIs
+they accept, in particular in their respective help browsers.
+To list man pages, GNOME uses <toc:man> while KDE uses <man:(index)>, and
+to list info pages, GNOME uses <toc:info> while KDE uses <info:(dir)>
+(the author of this man page prefers the KDE approach here, though a more
+regular format would be even better).
+In general, KDE uses <file:/cgi-bin/> as a prefix to a set of generated
+files.
+KDE prefers documentation in HTML, accessed via the
+<file:/cgi-bin/helpindex>.
+GNOME prefers the ghelp scheme to store and find documentation.
+Neither browser handles file: references to directories at the time
+of this writing, making it difficult to refer to an entire directory with
+a browsable URI.
+As noted above, these environments differ in how they handle the
+info: scheme, probably the most important variation.
+It is expected that GNOME and KDE
+will converge to common URI formats, and a future
+version of this man page will describe the converged result.
+Efforts to aid this convergence are encouraged.
+.SS Security
+A URI does not in itself pose a security threat.
+There is no general guarantee that a URL, which at one time
+located a given resource, will continue to do so.
+Nor is there any
+guarantee that a URL will not locate a different resource at some
+later point in time; such a guarantee can be
+obtained only from the person(s) controlling that namespace and the
+resource in question.
+.PP
+It is sometimes possible to construct a URL such that an attempt to
+perform a seemingly harmless operation, such as the
+retrieval of an entity associated with the resource, will in fact
+cause a possibly damaging remote operation to occur.
+The unsafe URL
+is typically constructed by specifying a port number other than that
+reserved for the network protocol in question.
+The client unwittingly contacts a site that is in fact
+running a different protocol.
+The content of the URL contains instructions that, when
+interpreted according to this other protocol, cause an unexpected
+operation.
+An example has been the use of a gopher URL to cause an
+unintended or impersonating message to be sent via a SMTP server.
+.PP
+Caution should be used when using any URL that specifies a port
+number other than the default for the protocol, especially when it is
+a number within the reserved space.
+.PP
+Care should be taken when a URI contains escaped delimiters for a
+given protocol (for example, CR and LF characters for telnet
+protocols) that these are not unescaped before transmission.
+This might violate the protocol, but avoids the potential for such
+characters to be used to simulate an extra operation or parameter in
+that protocol, which might lead to an unexpected and possibly harmful
+remote operation to be performed.
+.PP
+It is clearly unwise to use a URI that contains a password which is
+intended to be secret.
+In particular, the use of a password within
+the "userinfo" component of a URI is strongly recommended against except
+in those rare cases where the "password" parameter is intended to be public.
+.SH BUGS
+Documentation may be placed in a variety of locations, so there
+currently isn't a good URI scheme for general online documentation
+in arbitrary formats.
+References of the form
+<file:///usr/doc/ZZZ> don't work because different distributions and
+local installation requirements may place the files in different
+directories
+(it may be in /usr/doc, or /usr/local/doc, or /usr/share,
+or somewhere else).
+Also, the directory ZZZ usually changes when a version changes
+(though filename globbing could partially overcome this).
+Finally, using the file: scheme doesn't easily support people
+who dynamically load documentation from the Internet (instead of
+loading the files onto a local filesystem).
+A future URI scheme may be added (e.g., "userdoc:") to permit
+programs to include cross-references to more detailed documentation
+without having to know the exact location of that documentation.
+Alternatively, a future version of the filesystem specification may
+specify file locations sufficiently so that the file: scheme will
+be able to locate documentation.
+.PP
+Many programs and file formats don't include a way to incorporate
+or implement links using URIs.
+.PP
+Many programs can't handle all of these different URI formats; there
+should be a standard mechanism to load an arbitrary URI that automatically
+detects the users' environment (e.g., text or graphics,
+desktop environment, local user preferences, and currently executing
+tools) and invokes the right tool for any URI.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+For an overview of namespaces, see

+User namespaces isolate security-related identifiers and attributes,

+user IDs and group IDs (see
+.BR credentials (7)),
+the root directory,

+A process's user and group IDs can be different
+inside and outside a user namespace.
+In particular,
+a process can have a normal unprivileged user ID outside a user namespace
+while at the same time having a user ID of 0 inside the namespace;
+in other words,
+the process has full privileges for operations inside the user namespace,
+but is unprivileged for operations outside the namespace.
+.\"
+.\" ============================================================
+.\"
+.SS Nested namespaces, namespace membership
+User namespaces can be nested;
+that is, each user namespace\[em]except the initial ("root")
+namespace\[em]has a parent user namespace,
+and can have zero or more child user namespaces.
+The parent user namespace is the user namespace
+of the process that creates the user namespace via a call to
+.BR unshare (2)
+or
+.BR clone (2)
+with the
+.B CLONE_NEWUSER
+flag.
+.PP
+The kernel imposes (since Linux 3.11) a limit of 32 nested levels of
+.\" commit 8742f229b635bf1c1c84a3dfe5e47c814c20b5c8
+user namespaces.
+.\" FIXME Explain the rationale for this limit. (What is the rationale?)
+Calls to
+.BR unshare (2)
+or
+.BR clone (2)
+that would cause this limit to be exceeded fail with the error
+.BR EUSERS .
+.PP
+Each process is a member of exactly one user namespace.
+A process created via
+.BR fork (2)
+or
+.BR clone (2)
+without the
+.B CLONE_NEWUSER
+flag is a member of the same user namespace as its parent.
+A single-threaded process can join another user namespace with
+.BR setns (2)
+if it has the
+.B CAP_SYS_ADMIN
+in that namespace;
+upon doing so, it gains a full set of capabilities in that namespace.
+.PP
+A call to
+.BR clone (2)
+or
+.BR unshare (2)
+with the
+.B CLONE_NEWUSER
+flag makes the new child process (for
+.BR clone (2))
+or the caller (for
+.BR unshare (2))
+a member of the new user namespace created by the call.
+.PP
+The
+.B NS_GET_PARENT
+.BR ioctl (2)
+operation can be used to discover the parental relationship
+between user namespaces; see
+.BR ioctl_ns (2).
+.PP
+A task that changes one of its effective IDs
+will have its dumpability reset to the value in

+This may affect the ownership of proc files of child processes
+and may thus cause the parent to lack the permissions
+to write to mapping files of child processes running in a new user namespace.
+In such cases making the parent process dumpable, using
+.B PR_SET_DUMPABLE
+in a call to
+.BR prctl (2),
+before creating a child process in a new user namespace
+may rectify this problem.
+See

+and

+for details on how ownership is affected.
+.\"
+.\" ============================================================
+.\"
+.SS Capabilities
+The child process created by
+.BR clone (2)
+with the
+.B CLONE_NEWUSER
+flag starts out with a complete set
+of capabilities in the new user namespace.
+Likewise, a process that creates a new user namespace using
+.BR unshare (2)
+or joins an existing user namespace using
+.BR setns (2)
+gains a full set of capabilities in that namespace.
+On the other hand,
+that process has no capabilities in the parent (in the case of
+.BR clone (2))
+or previous (in the case of
+.BR unshare (2)
+and
+.BR setns (2))
+user namespace,
+even if the new namespace is created or joined by the root user
+(i.e., a process with user ID 0 in the root namespace).
+.PP
+Note that a call to
+.BR execve (2)
+will cause a process's capabilities to be recalculated in the usual way (see
+.BR capabilities (7)).
+Consequently,
+unless the process has a user ID of 0 within the namespace,
+or the executable file has a nonempty inheritable capabilities mask,
+the process will lose all capabilities.
+See the discussion of user and group ID mappings, below.
+.PP
+A call to
+.BR clone (2)
+or
+.BR unshare (2)
+using the
+.B CLONE_NEWUSER
+flag
+or a call to
+.BR setns (2)
+that moves the caller into another user namespace
+sets the "securebits" flags
+(see
+.BR capabilities (7))
+to their default values (all flags disabled) in the child (for
+.BR clone (2))
+or caller (for
+.BR unshare (2)
+or
+.BR setns (2)).
+Note that because the caller no longer has capabilities
+in its original user namespace after a call to
+.BR setns (2),
+it is not possible for a process to reset its "securebits" flags while
+retaining its user namespace membership by using a pair of
+.BR setns (2)
+calls to move to another user namespace and then return to
+its original user namespace.
+.PP
+The rules for determining whether or not a process has a capability
+in a particular user namespace are as follows:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+A process has a capability inside a user namespace
+if it is a member of that namespace and
+it has the capability in its effective capability set.
+A process can gain capabilities in its effective capability
+set in various ways.
+For example, it may execute a set-user-ID program or an
+executable with associated file capabilities.
+In addition,
+a process may gain capabilities via the effect of
+.BR clone (2),
+.BR unshare (2),
+or
+.BR setns (2),
+as already described.
+.\" In the 3.8 sources, see security/commoncap.c::cap_capable():

+then it has that capability in all child (and further removed descendant)
+namespaces as well.
+.IP \[bu]

+When a user namespace is created, the kernel records the effective

+.\" with the namespace).

+in the parent of the user namespace
+.\" See kernel commit 520d9eabce18edfef76a60b7b839d54facafe1f9 for a fix
+.\" on this point
+and whose effective user ID matches the owner of the namespace
+has all capabilities in the namespace.
+.\" This includes the case where the process executes a set-user-ID
+.\" program that confers the effective UID of the creator of the namespace.
+By virtue of the previous rule,
+this means that the process has all capabilities in all
+further removed descendant user namespaces as well.
+The
+.B NS_GET_OWNER_UID
+.BR ioctl (2)
+operation can be used to discover the user ID of the owner of the namespace;
+see
+.BR ioctl_ns (2).

+.\" ============================================================
+.\"
+.SS Effect of capabilities within a user namespace
+Having a capability inside a user namespace
+permits a process to perform operations (that require privilege)
+only on resources governed by that namespace.
+In other words, having a capability in a user namespace permits a process
+to perform privileged operations on resources that are governed by (nonuser)
+namespaces owned by (associated with) the user namespace
+(see the next subsection).
+.PP
+On the other hand, there are many privileged operations that affect
+resources that are not associated with any namespace type,
+for example, changing the system (i.e., calendar) time (governed by
+.BR CAP_SYS_TIME ),
+loading a kernel module (governed by

+.SS Interaction of user namespaces and other types of namespaces
+Starting in Linux 3.8, unprivileged processes can create user namespaces,
+and the other types of namespaces can be created with just the
+.B CAP_SYS_ADMIN
+capability in the caller's user namespace.
+.PP
+When a nonuser namespace is created,
+it is owned by the user namespace in which the creating process
+was a member at the time of the creation of the namespace.
+Privileged operations on resources governed by the nonuser namespace
+require that the process has the necessary capabilities
+in the user namespace that owns the nonuser namespace.
+.PP
+If
+.B CLONE_NEWUSER
+is specified along with other
+.B CLONE_NEW*
+flags in a single
+.BR clone (2)
+or
+.BR unshare (2)
+call, the user namespace is guaranteed to be created first,
+giving the child
+.RB ( clone (2))
+or caller
+.RB ( unshare (2))
+privileges over the remaining namespaces created by the call.
+Thus, it is possible for an unprivileged caller to specify this combination
+of flags.
+.PP
+When a new namespace (other than a user namespace) is created via
+.BR clone (2)
+or
+.BR unshare (2),
+the kernel records the user namespace of the creating process as the owner of
+the new namespace.
+(This association can't be changed.)
+When a process in the new namespace subsequently performs
+privileged operations that operate on global
+resources isolated by the namespace,
+the permission checks are performed according to the process's capabilities
+in the user namespace that the kernel associated with the new namespace.
+For example, suppose that a process attempts to change the hostname
+.RB ( sethostname (2)),
+a resource governed by the UTS namespace.
+In this case,
+the kernel will determine which user namespace owns
+the process's UTS namespace, and check whether the process has the
+required capability
+.RB ( CAP_SYS_ADMIN )
+in that user namespace.
+.PP
+The
+.B NS_GET_USERNS
+.BR ioctl (2)
+operation can be used to discover the user namespace
+that owns a nonuser namespace; see

+These files can be read to view the mappings in a user namespace and
+written to (once) to define the mappings.
+.PP
+The description in the following paragraphs explains the details for
+.IR uid_map ;
+.I gid_map
+is exactly the same,
+but each instance of "user ID" is replaced by "group ID".
+.PP
+The
+.I uid_map
+file exposes the mapping of user IDs from the user namespace
+of the process
+.I pid
+to the user namespace of the process that opened
+.I uid_map
+(but see a qualification to this point below).
+In other words, processes that are in different user namespaces
+will potentially see different values when reading from a particular
+.I uid_map
+file, depending on the user ID mappings for the user namespaces
+of the reading processes.
+.PP
+Each line in the
+.I uid_map
+file specifies a 1-to-1 mapping of a range of contiguous
+user IDs between two user namespaces.
+(When a user namespace is first created, this file is empty.)
+The specification in each line takes the form of
+three numbers delimited by white space.
+The first two numbers specify the starting user ID in
+each of the two user namespaces.
+The third number specifies the length of the mapped range.
+In detail, the fields are interpreted as follows:
+.IP (1) 5
+The start of the range of user IDs in
+the user namespace of the process
+.IR pid .
+.IP (2)
+The start of the range of user
+IDs to which the user IDs specified by field one map.
+How field two is interpreted depends on whether the process that opened
+.I uid_map
+and the process
+.I pid
+are in the same user namespace, as follows:
+.RS
+.IP (a) 5
+If the two processes are in different user namespaces:
+field two is the start of a range of
+user IDs in the user namespace of the process that opened
+.IR uid_map .
+.IP (b)
+If the two processes are in the same user namespace:
+field two is the start of the range of
+user IDs in the parent user namespace of the process
+.IR pid .
+This case enables the opener of
+.I uid_map
+(the common case here is opening
+.IR /proc/self/uid_map )
+to see the mapping of user IDs into the user namespace of the process
+that created this user namespace.
+.RE
+.IP (3)
+The length of the range of user IDs that is mapped between the two
+user namespaces.
+.PP
+System calls that return user IDs (group IDs)\[em]for example,
+.BR getuid (2),
+.BR getgid (2),
+and the credential fields in the structure returned by
+.BR stat (2)\[em]return
+the user ID (group ID) mapped into the caller's user namespace.
+.PP
+When a process accesses a file, its user and group IDs
+are mapped into the initial user namespace for the purpose of permission
+checking and assigning IDs when creating a file.
+When a process retrieves file user and group IDs via
+.BR stat (2),
+the IDs are mapped in the opposite direction,
+to produce values relative to the process user and group ID mappings.
+.PP
+The initial user namespace has no parent namespace,
+but, for consistency, the kernel provides dummy user and group
+ID mapping files for this namespace.
+Looking at the
+.I uid_map
+file
+.RI ( gid_map
+is the same) from a shell in the initial namespace shows:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+$ \fBcat /proc/$$/uid_map\fP
+ 0 0 4294967295
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+This mapping tells us
+that the range starting at user ID 0 in this namespace
+maps to a range starting at 0 in the (nonexistent) parent namespace,
+and the length of the range is the largest 32-bit unsigned integer.
+This leaves 4294967295 (the 32-bit signed \-1 value) unmapped.
+This is deliberate:
+.I (uid_t)\~\-1
+is used in several interfaces (e.g.,
+.BR setreuid (2))
+as a way to specify "no user ID".
+Leaving

+.TH UTF-8 7 2023-03-12 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+UTF-8 \- an ASCII compatible multibyte Unicode encoding
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The Unicode 3.0 character set occupies a 16-bit code space.
+The most obvious
+Unicode encoding (known as UCS-2)
+consists of a sequence of 16-bit words.
+Such strings can contain\[em]as part of many 16-bit characters\[em]bytes
+such as \[aq]\e0\[aq] or \[aq]/\[aq], which have a
+special meaning in filenames and other C library function arguments.
+In addition, the majority of UNIX tools expect ASCII files and can't
+read 16-bit words as characters without major modifications.
+For these reasons,
+UCS-2 is not a suitable external encoding of Unicode
+in filenames, text files, environment variables, and so on.
+The ISO/IEC 10646 Universal Character Set (UCS),
+a superset of Unicode, occupies an even larger code
+space\[em]31\ bits\[em]and the obvious
+UCS-4 encoding for it (a sequence of 32-bit words) has the same problems.
+.PP
+The UTF-8 encoding of Unicode and UCS
+does not have these problems and is the common way in which
+Unicode is used on UNIX-style operating systems.
+.SS Properties
+The UTF-8 encoding has the following nice properties:
+.TP 0.2i
+*
+UCS
+characters 0x00000000 to 0x0000007f (the classic US-ASCII
+characters) are encoded simply as bytes 0x00 to 0x7f (ASCII
+compatibility).
+This means that files and strings which contain only
+7-bit ASCII characters have the same encoding under both
+ASCII
+and
+UTF-8 .
+.TP
+*
+All UCS characters greater than 0x7f are encoded as a multibyte sequence
+consisting only of bytes in the range 0x80 to 0xfd, so no ASCII
+byte can appear as part of another character and there are no
+problems with, for example, \[aq]\e0\[aq] or \[aq]/\[aq].
+.TP
+*
+The lexicographic sorting order of UCS-4 strings is preserved.
+.TP
+*
+All possible 2\[ha]31 UCS codes can be encoded using UTF-8.
+.TP
+*
+The bytes 0xc0, 0xc1, 0xfe, and 0xff are never used in the UTF-8 encoding.
+.TP
+*
+The first byte of a multibyte sequence which represents a single non-ASCII
+UCS character is always in the range 0xc2 to 0xfd and indicates how long
+this multibyte sequence is.
+All further bytes in a multibyte sequence
+are in the range 0x80 to 0xbf.
+This allows easy resynchronization and
+makes the encoding stateless and robust against missing bytes.
+.TP
+*
+UTF-8 encoded UCS characters may be up to six bytes long, however the
+Unicode standard specifies no characters above 0x10ffff, so Unicode characters
+can be only up to four bytes long in
+UTF-8.
+.SS Encoding
+The following byte sequences are used to represent a character.
+The sequence to be used depends on the UCS code number of the character:
+.TP 0.4i
+0x00000000 \- 0x0000007F:
+.RI 0 xxxxxxx
+.TP
+0x00000080 \- 0x000007FF:
+.RI 110 xxxxx
+.RI 10 xxxxxx
+.TP
+0x00000800 \- 0x0000FFFF:
+.RI 1110 xxxx
+.RI 10 xxxxxx
+.RI 10 xxxxxx
+.TP
+0x00010000 \- 0x001FFFFF:
+.RI 11110 xxx
+.RI 10 xxxxxx
+.RI 10 xxxxxx
+.RI 10 xxxxxx
+.TP
+0x00200000 \- 0x03FFFFFF:
+.RI 111110 xx
+.RI 10 xxxxxx
+.RI 10 xxxxxx
+.RI 10 xxxxxx
+.RI 10 xxxxxx
+.TP
+0x04000000 \- 0x7FFFFFFF:
+.RI 1111110 x
+.RI 10 xxxxxx
+.RI 10 xxxxxx
+.RI 10 xxxxxx
+.RI 10 xxxxxx
+.RI 10 xxxxxx
+.PP
+The
+.I xxx
+bit positions are filled with the bits of the character code number in
+binary representation, most significant bit first (big-endian).
+Only the shortest possible multibyte sequence
+which can represent the code number of the character can be used.
+.PP
+The UCS code values 0xd800\[en]0xdfff (UTF-16 surrogates) as well as 0xfffe and
+0xffff (UCS noncharacters) should not appear in conforming UTF-8 streams.
+According to RFC 3629 no point above U+10FFFF should be used,
+which limits characters to four bytes.
+.SS Example
+The Unicode character 0xa9 = 1010 1001 (the copyright sign) is encoded
+in UTF-8 as
+.PP
+.RS
+11000010 10101001 = 0xc2 0xa9
+.RE
+.PP
+and character 0x2260 = 0010 0010 0110 0000 (the "not equal" symbol) is
+encoded as:
+.PP
+.RS
+11100010 10001001 10100000 = 0xe2 0x89 0xa0
+.RE
+.SS Application notes
+Users have to select a UTF-8 locale, for example with
+.PP
+.RS
+export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
+.RE
+.PP
+in order to activate the UTF-8 support in applications.
+.PP
+Application software that has to be aware of the used character
+encoding should always set the locale with for example
+.PP
+.RS
+setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "")
+.RE
+.PP
+and programmers can then test the expression
+.PP
+.RS
+strcmp(nl_langinfo(CODESET), "UTF-8") == 0
+.RE
+.PP
+to determine whether a UTF-8 locale has been selected and whether
+therefore all plaintext standard input and output, terminal
+communication, plaintext file content, filenames, and environment
+variables are encoded in UTF-8.
+.PP
+Programmers accustomed to single-byte encodings such as US-ASCII or ISO 8859
+have to be aware that two assumptions made so far are no longer valid
+in UTF-8 locales.
+Firstly, a single byte does not necessarily correspond any
+more to a single character.
+Secondly, since modern terminal emulators in UTF-8
+mode also support Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
+double-width characters as well as nonspacing combining characters,
+outputting a single character does not necessarily advance the cursor
+by one position as it did in ASCII.
+Library functions such as
+.BR mbsrtowcs (3)
+and
+.BR wcswidth (3)
+should be used today to count characters and cursor positions.
+.PP
+The official ESC sequence to switch from an ISO 2022
+encoding scheme (as used for instance by VT100 terminals) to
+UTF-8 is ESC % G
+("\ex1b%G").
+The corresponding return sequence from
+UTF-8 to ISO 2022 is ESC % @ ("\ex1b%@").
+Other ISO 2022 sequences (such as
+for switching the G0 and G1 sets) are not applicable in UTF-8 mode.
+.SS Security
+The Unicode and UCS standards require that producers of UTF-8
+shall use the shortest form possible, for example, producing a two-byte
+sequence with first byte 0xc0 is nonconforming.
+Unicode 3.1 has added the requirement that conforming programs must not accept
+non-shortest forms in their input.
+This is for security reasons: if
+user input is checked for possible security violations, a program
+might check only for the ASCII
+version of "/../" or ";" or NUL and overlook that there are many
+non-ASCII ways to represent these things in a non-shortest UTF-8
+encoding.

+UTS namespaces provide isolation of two system identifiers:

+These identifiers are set using
+.BR sethostname (2)
+and
+.BR setdomainname (2),
+and can be retrieved using

+.BR getdomainname (2).
+Changes made to these identifiers are visible to all other

+.PP
+When a process creates a new UTS namespace using
+.BR clone (2)
+or
+.BR unshare (2)
+with the
+.B CLONE_NEWUTS
+flag, the hostname and domain name of the new UTS namespace are copied
+from the corresponding values in the caller's UTS namespace.

+.SH NAME
+vdso \- overview of the virtual ELF dynamic shared object
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <sys/auxv.h>
+.PP
+.B void *vdso = (uintptr_t) getauxval(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The "vDSO" (virtual dynamic shared object) is a small shared library that
+the kernel automatically maps into the
+address space of all user-space applications.
+Applications usually do not need to concern themselves with these details
+as the vDSO is most commonly called by the C library.
+This way you can code in the normal way using standard functions
+and the C library will take care
+of using any functionality that is available via the vDSO.
+.PP
+Why does the vDSO exist at all?
+There are some system calls the kernel provides that
+user-space code ends up using frequently,
+to the point that such calls can dominate overall performance.
+This is due both to the frequency of the call as well as the
+context-switch overhead that results
+from exiting user space and entering the kernel.
+.PP
+The rest of this documentation is geared toward the curious and/or
+C library writers rather than general developers.
+If you're trying to call the vDSO in your own application rather than using
+the C library, you're most likely doing it wrong.
+.SS Example background
+Making system calls can be slow.
+In x86 32-bit systems, you can trigger a software interrupt
+.RI ( "int $0x80" )
+to tell the kernel you wish to make a system call.
+However, this instruction is expensive: it goes through
+the full interrupt-handling paths
+in the processor's microcode as well as in the kernel.
+Newer processors have faster (but backward incompatible) instructions to
+initiate system calls.
+Rather than require the C library to figure out if this functionality is
+available at run time,
+the C library can use functions provided by the kernel in
+the vDSO.
+.PP
+Note that the terminology can be confusing.
+On x86 systems, the vDSO function
+used to determine the preferred method of making a system call is
+named "__kernel_vsyscall", but on x86-64,
+the term "vsyscall" also refers to an obsolete way to ask the kernel
+what time it is or what CPU the caller is on.
+.PP
+One frequently used system call is
+.BR gettimeofday (2).
+This system call is called both directly by user-space applications
+as well as indirectly by
+the C library.
+Think timestamps or timing loops or polling\[em]all of these
+frequently need to know what time it is right now.
+This information is also not secret\[em]any application in any
+privilege mode (root or any unprivileged user) will get the same answer.
+Thus the kernel arranges for the information required to answer
+this question to be placed in memory the process can access.
+Now a call to
+.BR gettimeofday (2)
+changes from a system call to a normal function
+call and a few memory accesses.
+.SS Finding the vDSO
+The base address of the vDSO (if one exists) is passed by the kernel to
+each program in the initial auxiliary vector (see
+.BR getauxval (3)),
+via the
+.B AT_SYSINFO_EHDR
+tag.
+.PP
+You must not assume the vDSO is mapped at any particular location in the
+user's memory map.
+The base address will usually be randomized at run time every time a new
+process image is created (at
+.BR execve (2)
+time).
+This is done for security reasons,
+to prevent "return-to-libc" attacks.
+.PP
+For some architectures, there is also an
+.B AT_SYSINFO
+tag.
+This is used only for locating the vsyscall entry point and is frequently
+omitted or set to 0 (meaning it's not available).
+This tag is a throwback to the initial vDSO work (see
+.I History
+below) and its use should be avoided.
+.SS File format
+Since the vDSO is a fully formed ELF image, you can do symbol lookups on it.
+This allows new symbols to be added with newer kernel releases,
+and allows the C library to detect available functionality at
+run time when running under different kernel versions.
+Oftentimes the C library will do detection with the first call and then
+cache the result for subsequent calls.
+.PP
+All symbols are also versioned (using the GNU version format).
+This allows the kernel to update the function signature without breaking
+backward compatibility.
+This means changing the arguments that the function accepts as well as the
+return value.
+Thus, when looking up a symbol in the vDSO,
+you must always include the version
+to match the ABI you expect.
+.PP
+Typically the vDSO follows the naming convention of prefixing
+all symbols with "__vdso_" or "__kernel_"
+so as to distinguish them from other standard symbols.
+For example, the "gettimeofday" function is named "__vdso_gettimeofday".
+.PP
+You use the standard C calling conventions when calling
+any of these functions.
+No need to worry about weird register or stack behavior.
+.SH NOTES
+.SS Source
+When you compile the kernel,
+it will automatically compile and link the vDSO code for you.
+You will frequently find it under the architecture-specific directory:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+find arch/$ARCH/ \-name \[aq]*vdso*.so*\[aq] \-o \-name \[aq]*gate*.so*\[aq]
+.EE

+.SS vDSO names
+The name of the vDSO varies across architectures.
+It will often show up in things like glibc's
+.BR ldd (1)
+output.

+Those system calls will likewise not be visible to

+.SH ARCHITECTURE-SPECIFIC NOTES
+The subsections below provide architecture-specific notes
+on the vDSO.
+.PP
+Note that the vDSO that is used is based on the ABI of your user-space code
+and not the ABI of the kernel.
+Thus, for example,
+when you run an i386 32-bit ELF binary,
+you'll get the same vDSO regardless of whether you run it under
+an i386 32-bit kernel or under an x86-64 64-bit kernel.
+Therefore, the name of the user-space ABI should be used to determine
+which of the sections below is relevant.

+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <sys/socket.h>
+.B #include <linux/vm_sockets.h>
+.PP
+.IB stream_socket " = socket(AF_VSOCK, SOCK_STREAM, 0);"
+.IB datagram_socket " = socket(AF_VSOCK, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);"
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The VSOCK address family facilitates communication between virtual machines and
+the host they are running on.
+This address family is used by guest agents and
+hypervisor services that need a communications channel that is independent of
+virtual machine network configuration.
+.PP
+Valid socket types are
+.B SOCK_STREAM
+and
+.BR SOCK_DGRAM .
+.B SOCK_STREAM
+provides connection-oriented byte streams with guaranteed, in-order delivery.
+.B SOCK_DGRAM
+provides a connectionless datagram packet service with best-effort delivery and
+best-effort ordering.
+Availability of these socket types is dependent on the
+underlying hypervisor.
+.PP
+A new socket is created with
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+socket(AF_VSOCK, socket_type, 0);
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+When a process wants to establish a connection, it calls
+.BR connect (2)
+with a given destination socket address.
+The socket is automatically bound to a free port if unbound.
+.PP
+A process can listen for incoming connections by first binding to a socket
+address using
+.BR bind (2)
+and then calling
+.BR listen (2).
+.PP
+Data is transmitted using the
+.BR send (2)
+or
+.BR write (2)
+families of system calls and data is received using the
+.BR recv (2)
+or
+.BR read (2)
+families of system calls.
+.SS Address format
+A socket address is defined as a combination of a 32-bit Context Identifier
+(CID) and a 32-bit port number.
+The CID identifies the source or destination,
+which is either a virtual machine or the host.
+The port number differentiates between multiple services running on
+a single machine.
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct sockaddr_vm {
+ sa_family_t svm_family; /* Address family: AF_VSOCK */
+ unsigned short svm_reserved1;
+ unsigned int svm_port; /* Port # in host byte order */
+ unsigned int svm_cid; /* Address in host byte order */
+ unsigned char svm_zero[sizeof(struct sockaddr) \-
+ sizeof(sa_family_t) \-
+ sizeof(unsigned short) \-
+ sizeof(unsigned int) \-
+ sizeof(unsigned int)];
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+.I svm_family
+is always set to
+.BR AF_VSOCK .
+.I svm_reserved1
+is always set to 0.
+.I svm_port
+contains the port number in host byte order.
+The port numbers below 1024 are called
+.IR "privileged ports" .
+Only a process with the
+.B CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
+capability may
+.BR bind (2)
+to these port numbers.
+.I svm_zero
+must be zero-filled.
+.PP
+There are several special addresses:
+.B VMADDR_CID_ANY
+(\-1U)
+means any address for binding;
+.B VMADDR_CID_HYPERVISOR
+(0) is reserved for services built into the hypervisor;
+.B VMADDR_CID_LOCAL
+(1) is the well-known address for local communication (loopback);
+.B VMADDR_CID_HOST
+(2)
+is the well-known address of the host.
+.PP
+The special constant
+.B VMADDR_PORT_ANY
+(\-1U)
+means any port number for binding.
+.SS Live migration
+Sockets are affected by live migration of virtual machines.
+Connected
+.B SOCK_STREAM
+sockets become disconnected when the virtual machine migrates to a new host.
+Applications must reconnect when this happens.
+.PP
+The local CID may change across live migration if the old CID is
+not available on the new host.
+Bound sockets are automatically updated to the new CID.
+.SS Ioctls
+The following ioctls are available on the
+.I /dev/vsock
+device.
+.TP
+.B IOCTL_VM_SOCKETS_GET_LOCAL_CID
+Get the CID of the local machine.
+The argument is a pointer to an
+.IR "unsigned int" .
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+ioctl(fd, IOCTL_VM_SOCKETS_GET_LOCAL_CID, &cid);
+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+Consider using
+.B VMADDR_CID_ANY
+when binding instead of getting the local CID with
+.BR IOCTL_VM_SOCKETS_GET_LOCAL_CID .
+.SS Local communication
+.B VMADDR_CID_LOCAL
+(1) directs packets to the same host that generated them.
+This is useful
+for testing applications on a single host and for debugging.
+.PP
+The local CID obtained with
+.B IOCTL_VM_SOCKETS_GET_LOCAL_CID
+can be used for the same purpose, but it is preferable to use
+.B VMADDR_CID_LOCAL .
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EACCES
+Unable to bind to a privileged port without the
+.B CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
+capability.
+.TP
+.B EADDRINUSE
+Unable to bind to a port that is already in use.
+.TP
+.B EADDRNOTAVAIL
+Unable to find a free port for binding or unable to bind to a nonlocal CID.

+family of syscalls.
+.TP
+.B EPROTONOSUPPORT
+Invalid socket protocol number.
+The protocol should always be 0.
+.TP
+.B ESOCKTNOSUPPORT
+Unsupported socket type in

+(X.25 DTE-DCE mode).
+X25 sockets can also be used for communication
+without an intermediate X.25 network (X.25 DTE-DTE mode) as described
+in ISO-8208.
+.PP
+Message boundaries are preserved \[em] a
+.BR read (2)
+from a socket will

+.BR write (2)
+to the peer socket.
+When necessary, the kernel takes care
+of segmenting and reassembling long messages by means of
+the X.25 M-bit.
+There is no hard-coded upper limit for the
+message size.
+However, reassembling of a long message might fail if
+there is a temporary lack of system resources or when other constraints
+(such as socket memory or buffer size limits) become effective.
+If that
+occurs, the X.25 connection will be reset.
+.SS Socket addresses
+The
+.B AF_X25
+socket address family uses the
+.I struct sockaddr_x25
+for representing network addresses as defined in ITU-T
+recommendation X.121.
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct sockaddr_x25 {
+ sa_family_t sx25_family; /* must be AF_X25 */
+ x25_address sx25_addr; /* X.121 Address */
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+.I sx25_addr
+contains a char array
+.I x25_addr[]
+to be interpreted as a null-terminated string.
+.I sx25_addr.x25_addr[]
+consists of up to 15 (not counting the terminating null byte) ASCII
+characters forming the X.121 address.
+Only the decimal digit characters from \[aq]0\[aq] to \[aq]9\[aq] are allowed.
+.SS Socket options
+The following X.25-specific socket options can be set by using
+.BR setsockopt (2)
+and read with
+.BR getsockopt (2)
+with the
+.I level
+argument set to
+.BR SOL_X25 .
+.TP
+.B X25_QBITINCL
+Controls whether the X.25 Q-bit (Qualified Data Bit) is accessible by the
+user.
+It expects an integer argument.
+If set to 0 (default),
+the Q-bit is never set for outgoing packets and the Q-bit of incoming
+packets is ignored.
+If set to 1, an additional first byte is prepended
+to each message read from or written to the socket.
+For data read from
+the socket, a 0 first byte indicates that the Q-bits of the corresponding
+incoming data packets were not set.
+A first byte with value 1 indicates
+that the Q-bit of the corresponding incoming data packets was set.
+If the first byte of the data written to the socket is 1, the Q-bit of the
+corresponding outgoing data packets will be set.
+If the first byte is 0,
+the Q-bit will not be set.
+.SH VERSIONS
+The AF_X25 protocol family is a new feature of Linux 2.2.
+.SH BUGS
+Plenty, as the X.25 PLP implementation is
+.BR CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL .
+.PP
+This man page is incomplete.
+.PP
+There is no dedicated application programmer's header file yet;
+you need to include the kernel header file
+.IR <linux/x25.h> .
+.B CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
+might also imply that future versions of the
+interface are not binary compatible.
+.PP
+X.25 N-Reset events are not propagated to the user process yet.
+Thus,
+if a reset occurred, data might be lost without notice.

+.SH NAME
+xattr \- Extended attributes
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated permanently with
+files and directories, similar to the environment strings associated
+with a process.
+An attribute may be defined or undefined.
+If it is defined, its value may be empty or non-empty.
+.PP
+Extended attributes are extensions to the normal attributes which are
+associated with all inodes in the system (i.e., the
+.BR stat (2)
+data).
+They are often used to provide additional functionality
+to a filesystem\[em]for example, additional security features such as
+Access Control Lists (ACLs) may be implemented using extended attributes.
+.PP
+Users with search access to a file or directory may use
+.BR listxattr (2)
+to retrieve a list of attribute names defined for that file or directory.
+.PP
+Extended attributes are accessed as atomic objects.
+Reading
+.RB ( getxattr (2))
+retrieves the whole value of an attribute and stores it in a buffer.
+Writing
+.RB ( setxattr (2))
+replaces any previous value with the new value.
+.PP
+Space consumed for extended attributes may be counted towards the disk quotas
+of the file owner and file group.
+.SS Extended attribute namespaces
+Attribute names are null-terminated strings.
+The attribute name is always specified in the fully qualified
+.I namespace.attribute
+form, for example,
+.IR user.mime_type ,
+.IR trusted.md5sum ,
+.IR system.posix_acl_access ,
+or
+.IR security.selinux .
+.PP
+The namespace mechanism is used to define different classes of extended
+attributes.
+These different classes exist for several reasons;
+for example, the permissions
+and capabilities required for manipulating extended attributes of one
+namespace may differ to another.
+.PP
+Currently, the
+.IR security ,
+.IR system ,
+.IR trusted ,
+and
+.I user
+extended attribute classes are defined as described below.
+Additional classes may be added in the future.
+.SS Extended security attributes
+The security attribute namespace is used by kernel security modules,
+such as Security Enhanced Linux, and also to implement file capabilities (see
+.BR capabilities (7)).
+Read and write access permissions to security attributes depend on the
+policy implemented for each security attribute by the security module.
+When no security module is loaded, all processes have read access to
+extended security attributes, and write access is limited to processes
+that have the
+.B CAP_SYS_ADMIN
+capability.
+.SS System extended attributes
+System extended attributes are used by the kernel to store system
+objects such as Access Control Lists.
+Read and write
+access permissions to system attributes depend on the policy implemented
+for each system attribute implemented by filesystems in the kernel.
+.SS Trusted extended attributes
+Trusted extended attributes are visible and accessible only to processes that
+have the
+.B CAP_SYS_ADMIN
+capability.
+Attributes in this class are used to implement mechanisms in user
+space (i.e., outside the kernel) which keep information in extended attributes
+to which ordinary processes should not have access.
+.SS User extended attributes
+User extended attributes may be assigned to files and directories for
+storing arbitrary additional information such as the mime type,
+character set or encoding of a file.
+The access permissions for user
+attributes are defined by the file permission bits:
+read permission is required to retrieve the attribute value,
+and writer permission is required to change it.
+.PP
+The file permission bits of regular files and directories are
+interpreted differently from the file permission bits of special files
+and symbolic links.
+For regular files and directories the file
+permission bits define access to the file's contents, while for device special
+files they define access to the device described by the special file.
+The file permissions of symbolic links are not used in access checks.
+These differences would allow users to consume filesystem resources in
+a way not controllable by disk quotas for group or world writable
+special files and directories.
+.PP
+For this reason,
+user extended attributes are allowed only for regular files and directories,
+and access to user extended attributes is restricted to the
+owner and to users with appropriate capabilities for directories with the
+sticky bit set (see the
+.BR chmod (1)
+manual page for an explanation of the sticky bit).
+.SS Filesystem differences
+The kernel and the filesystem may place limits on the maximum number
+and size of extended attributes that can be associated with a file.
+The VFS-imposed limits on attribute names and values are 255 bytes
+and 64\ kB, respectively.
+The list of attribute names that
+can be returned is also limited to 64\ kB
+(see BUGS in
+.BR listxattr (2)).
+.PP
+Some filesystems, such as Reiserfs (and, historically, ext2 and ext3),
+require the filesystem to be mounted with the
+.B user_xattr
+mount option in order for user extended attributes to be used.
+.PP
+In the current ext2, ext3, and ext4 filesystem implementations,
+the total bytes used by the names and values of all of a file's
+extended attributes must fit in a single filesystem block (1024, 2048
+or 4096 bytes, depending on the block size specified when the
+filesystem was created).
+.PP
+In the Btrfs, XFS, and Reiserfs filesystem implementations, there is no
+practical limit on the number of extended attributes
+associated with a file, and the algorithms used to store extended
+attribute information on disk are scalable.
+.PP
+In the JFS, XFS, and Reiserfs filesystem implementations,
+the limit on bytes used in an EA value is the ceiling imposed by the VFS.
+.PP
+In the Btrfs filesystem implementation,
+the total bytes used for the name, value, and implementation overhead bytes
+is limited to the filesystem
+.I nodesize
+value (16\ kB by default).
+.SH STANDARDS
+Extended attributes are not specified in POSIX.1, but some other systems
+(e.g., the BSDs and Solaris) provide a similar feature.
+.SH NOTES
+Since the filesystems on which extended attributes are stored might also
+be used on architectures with a different byte order and machine word
+size, care should be taken to store attribute values in an
+architecture-independent format.
