* SF #994605, fcntl example is brokenNeal Norwitz2004-07-211-3/+3
| | | | | | | The last call to fcntl (which wasn't changed) doesn't work for me, but the first part works now. Backport candidate.
* use file() in preference to open()Skip Montanaro2004-06-301-3/+3
|
* SF bug #970042, lockf() signature uses len, doc refers to length (use ↵Neal Norwitz2004-06-131-1/+1
| | | | length, same as docstring)
* minor markup improvementsFred Drake2004-01-161-6/+6
|
* SF patch #855195: fix typosRaymond Hettinger2003-12-071-1/+1
| | | | (Contributed by George Yoshida.)
* Fix bugMichael W. Hudson2003-03-031-7/+54
| | | | | | | | [ 555817 ] Flawed fcntl.ioctl implementation. with my patch that allows for an array to be mutated when passed as the buffer argument to ioctl() (details complicated by backwards compatibility considerations -- read the docs!).
* reference the os module and the lock flags in the os.open() function.Skip Montanaro2003-01-151-0/+8
| | | | (Someone please review what I wrote for accuracy.)
* Refer the reader to the correct module for constant definitions.Fred Drake2002-06-141-1/+1
| | | | This closes SF bug #550777.
* Clarify that on some systems, lockf() using LOCK_EX requires that the fileFred Drake2001-11-281-4/+9
| | | | | | | is opened for writing; this closes SF bug #485342. Added notes that file objects are also accepted in the place of file descriptors.
* Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take noFred Drake2001-11-281-2/+2
| | | | | | | | parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the last thing in the enclosing group. These cases were marked inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.
* Update the fcntl module documentation.Fred Drake2001-05-091-30/+26

* Fixed bug in example.Fred Drake2001-04-111-2/+2
| | | | | | This closes SF bug #415522. Also fix markup error in text following the example.
* Provide a much better (and complete!) description of the lockf()Barry Warsaw2001-01-251-4/+38
| | | | function, based on an eyeballing of the code.
* Rob Hooft <rob@hooft.net>:Fred Drake2000-08-021-2/+8
| | | | Description of fcntl(): Added description of what can go wrong.
* Merged changes from the 1.5.2p2 release.Fred Drake2000-04-031-1/+1
| | | | (Very rough.)
* Clarify the example by explicitly importing the fcntl module -- thisGuido van Rossum1999-06-241-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | avoid being fooled into thinking that fcntl and FCNTL are the same thing -- they aren't! (fcntl is the extension, FCNTL.py is h2py output that defines all the constants). (XXX The example is still weird -- I think there's a more portable way to do locking now. That's for someone else to fix...)
* "\platform{UNIX}" should really be spelled "\platform{Unix}".Fred Drake1999-03-021-1/+1
|
* Added \platform annotations.Fred Drake1999-03-021-5/+6
|
* New section header style.Fred Drake1998-08-101-1/+2
| | | | Fix up a few synopses.
* Adjusted to use the new module synopsis support macros.Fred Drake1998-07-231-2/+4
|
* Remove all uses of \sectcode; we can now use logical markup everywhere.Fred Drake1998-04-041-1/+1
|
* Fix one typo.Fred Drake1998-04-031-6/+6
| | | | | | Add a manpage reference. Add an index entry.
* Logical markup.Fred Drake1998-03-121-30/+31
| | | | | | Markup consistency. Removed incorrect \setindexsubitem{}.
* Added \label{} for logical addressing.Fred Drake1998-02-181-0/+1
|
* Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previousFred Drake1998-02-131-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | checkin of myformat.sty. Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}" everywhere. Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
* Do the right magic to make \UNIX{} get sorted correctly in the index.Fred Drake1998-02-091-2/+2
|
* Consistency:Fred Drake1998-01-131-3/+3
| | | | "Unix" ==> "\UNIX{}"
* Fixed index references to modules.Fred Drake1997-12-151-5/+5
| | | | Made references to files use \file{} instead of \code{}.
* AMK's megapatch:Guido van Rossum1997-07-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | * \bcode, \ecode added everywhere * \label{module-foo} added everywhere * A few \seealso sections added. * Indentation fixed inside verbatim in lib*tex files
* Added embryonic description of fcntl.lockf(). Added pointer to thatGuido van Rossum1996-10-111-0/+5
