New and rewritten pages
-----------------------

getnetent_r.3
     mtk
         Documents getnetent_r(), getnetbyname_r(),
         and getnetbyaddr_r(), the reentrant equivalents of
         getnetent(), getnetbyname(), and getnetbyaddr().

getprotoent_r.3
      mtk
         Documents getprotoent_r(), getprotobyname_r(), and
         getprotobynumber_r(), the reentrant equivalents of
         getprotoent(), getprotobyname(), and getprotobynumber().

getrpcent_r.3
      mtk
         Documents getrpcent_r(), getrpcbyname_r(), and
         getrpcbynumber_r(), the reentrant equivalents of
         getrpcent(), getrpcbyname(), and getrpcbynumber().

getservent_r.3
      mtk
         Documents getservent_r(), getservbyname_r(), and
         getservbyport_r(), the reentrant equivalents of
         getservent(), getservbyname(), and getservbyport().

numa.7
     mtk
         A new page giving overview details for the Linux NUMA interfaces.
         Incorporates some material from mbind.2, and the description
         of /proc/PID/numa_maps from proc.5.


Changes to individual pages
---------------------------

link.2
     mtk
         Note kernel version where Linux stopped following symbolic
         links in 'oldpath'; see also http://lwn.net/Articles/294667.
         POSIX.1-2008 makes it implementation-dependent whether or not
         'oldpath' is dereferenced if it is a symbolic link.
         Add a reference to linkat(2) for an interface that allows
         precise control of the treatment of symbolic links.

pthreads.7
     mtk
         Update thread-safe functions list with changes in POSIX.1-2008.
         SEE ALSO: add proc(5).

signal.7
     mtk
         Update list of async-sygnal-safe functions for POSIX.1-2008.
