+1.

Andrey, please don't assume that people have read past mails. Even if
they have, they're forgetful. Don't make people hunt down old mails to
try to put the pieces together. The changelog should include a full
description of the interface, and also the sample user-space code that
you showed at some point in another mail. That may help you get better
review, and it will certainly help make a better man page.

Cheers,

Michael
