The following package has been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution:
* man-pages-linux 6.05.01
Documents the Linux kernel system calls and C library interfaces used
by programs, plus system and administrative utilities, devices, file
system, file, and data formats, and related information.
For more information, see the project home page:
https://kernel.org/doc/man-pages/
As Cygwin has its own man pages with some conflicts, these man pages are
installed under /usr/share/man/man-pages-linux/, so by default searching
or viewing these pages requires the option:
$ apropos -m|--systems man-pages-linux ...
$ man -m|--systems man-pages-linux ...
Cygwin man pages are under the default system "man", so for convenience
both systems may be specified separated by comma e.g.
$ man -m man,man-pages-linux ...
The path or option may also be added explicitly to a users MANPATH or
alias e.g.
$ export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/share/man/man-pages-linux
$ alias apropos='apropos -m man,man-pages-linux'
$ alias man='man -m man,man-pages-linux'
Add -a to show both Cygwin and Linux (and POSIX if companion package
man-pages-posix is also installed) manual pages.
For convenience and backward compatibility /usr/share/man/linux is
provided as a symlink.
If you prefer to see Linux man pages over Cygwin man pages, then use
-m|--systems linux in the examples above, or add -m linux to a command.
Release 6 added some section 2 and 3 pages suffixed by const, head,
or type installed in the base section directories.
For recent changes, please see below, or after installation read
/usr/share/doc/man-pages-linux/Changes:

Global changes
- Types:
- Document functions using off64_t as if they used off_t (except
for lseek64()).
- Formatting:
- use `\%`
- un-bracket tbl(1) tables
- Licenses:
- Relicense ddp.7 from VERBATIM_ONE_PARA to Linux-man-pages-copyleft.
- Relicense dir_colors.5 from LDPv1 to GPL-2.0-or-later.
- Use new SPDX license identifiers:
- Linux-man-pages-1-para (was VERBATIM_ONE_PARA)
- Linux-man-pages-copyleft-2-para (was VERBATIM_TWO_PARA)
- Linux-man-pages-copyleft-var (was VERBATIM_PROF)
- Build system:
- Ignore dot-dirs within $MANDIR (6.05.01)
- Keep file modes in the release tarball.
- Fix symlink installation (`make install LINK_PAGES=symlink`).
- Add support for using bzip2(1), lzip(1), and xz(1) when installing
pages and creating release tarballs.
- Create reproducible release tarballs.
- Move makefiles from lib/ to share/mk/.
- Support mdoc(7) pages.
- Relicense Makefiles as GPL-3.0-or-later.
- Build PostScript and PDF manual pages.
- Add support for running our build system on arbitrary source
trees; this makes it possible to easily run our linters on another
project's manual pages as easily as `make lint MANDIR=~/src/groff`
Changes to individual pages
- The manual pages (and other files in the repository) have been
improved beyond what this changelog covers. To learn more about
changes applied to individual pages, use git(1).
