Author: jhb Date: Mon Aug 22 17:52:10 2016 New Revision: 304617 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/304617 Log: MFC 304476: Fix various nits in the aio operation manpages. - Avoid double use of "request" in a single sentence. Instead, describe aio_sigevent as being used to request notification of the associated operation's completion. This matches the language used to describe aio_sigevent in aio(4). - Simplify the prohibition on modifying buffers while requests are in flight. - Fix case mismatch. - Drop note about not using stack variables. C programmers should be able to figure out if a stack variable is safe based on the later warning about the life cycle requirements of control blocks. - Remove prohibition on modifying the I/O buffer for aio_fsync() since it does not use an I/O buffer. For aio_mlock(), prohibit modifications to the mapping (e.g. due to mprotect, munmap, mmap, etc.) but do not prohibit modifications to the memory backing the buffer (stores into the pages backing the buffer).
