During their work translators notice different possible issues in the original (english) man pages. Sometimes this is a straightforward typo, sometimes a hard to read sentence, sometimes this is a convention not held up and sometimes we simply do not understand the original. We use several distributions as sources and update regularly (at least every 2 month). This means we are fairly recent (some distributions like archlinux also update frequently) but might miss the latest upstream version once in a while, so the error might be already fixed. We apologize and ask you to close the issue immediately if this should be the case, but given the huge volume of projects and the very limited number of volunteers we are not able to double check each and every issue. Secondly we translators see the manpages in the neutral po format, i.e. converted and harmonized, but not the original source (be it man, groff, xml or other). So we cannot provide a true patch (where possible), but only an approximation which you need to convert into your source format. Finally the issues I'm reporting have accumulated over time and are not always discovered by me, so sometimes my description of the problem my be a bit limited - do not hesitate to ask so we can clarify them. I'm now reporting the errors for your project. If future reports should use another channel, please let me know. ** Man page: mmap.2 Issue: and in order =E2=86=92 in order "For example, suppose that thread A looks through IpidE/map= s> " "and in order to locate an unused address range that it can map using " "B, while thread B simultaneously acquires part or all of that " "same address range. When thread A subsequently employs B= , " "it will effectively clobber the mapping that thread B created.

The B(3) call will map the library into t= he " "process's address space. Furthermore, almost any library call may be " "implemented in a way that adds memory mappings to the address space, eithe= r " "with this technique, or by simply allocating memory. Examples include " "B(2), B(3), B(3), and the PAM libraries E<.UR= " "http://www.linux-pam.org> E<.UE .>" --=20 Dr. Helge Kreutzmann debian@helgefjell.de Dipl.-Phys. http://www.helgefjell.de/debian.php 64bit GNU powered gpg signed mail preferred Help keep free software "libre": http://www.ffii.de/ --=_luckmann.name-26641-1594030454-0001-2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEbZZfteMW0gNUynuwQbqlJmgq5nAFAl8C+XUACgkQQbqlJmgq 5nDsThAAkmLpJXzkOeWrMjj4VZeeHzoUdyTXuf3nL+Cpp0irih7WXpsodP+xqkYY XwqqvliFN9nLhtpvjgZYO1OGBRbfbjWA7Wvl3OTByvIt1YtByYdWkaa1JxDjK/Hi 9Z6KBdOQQsY8ismKR1cLo7SYqDgxjT9BemqQDp5+DMaDz7PTA73y/NOWJ26oKqJk Cg/P61s08cG7vPa4O4Pk7yy3a4+7yhFsil6SUScsTJ/XJpCAIxEdpGu1zTlPC+nz 732QoEK4K0rVunoKaxkSu52dymefEEAqoqX+AgJ7Eyp8QpA4kPDAvbEPxXHpdh+6 w0iXLSGF2cS2bStcqGmRDqwv+Cg+eX4sanFo4a8UTVqpXzxMy1bTQNkrzqgdcURh ljXYb5aAV62bUayVFdpQu9sMJgSgFe4DAVQmuffPqV6f1m2wPf7p8na+HQZwLrJ9 LPgOBH7MgXTGcMxA9Aer2EbNhGwwDECZp8S/XhFkjj2ff+gqq4YnkLcQd+k0uh3O /0oBNrxLQRybkKqN58e5newl6Ntdc9TzRjJ+zFB1IbTNABsuZVd99S1zTsHvwM2F kdN+masLdt9N4fvD3m0IqfJWI4XliBu/KRt8Dm/XbpuVDebpR+YmAxnP0f+TOghk 54SYtlgfssKud8TN+I8rc0vfXXuSFsGin4d8SYErr19nr9FI9f0= =99TG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=_luckmann.name-26641-1594030454-0001-2--
