2022-01-11Help+Base: Add help://man URLs for links between man pageskleines Filmröllchen
The URLs of the form `help://man/<section>/<page>` link to another help page inside the help application. All previous relative page links are replaced by this new form. This doesn't change any behavior but it looks much nicer :^) Note that man doesn't handle these new links, but the previous relative links didn't work either.
2021-12-20Kernel: Return EINVAL when specifying -1 for setuid and similar syscallsLiav A
For setreuid and setresuid syscalls, -1 means to set the current uid/euid/gid/egid value, to be more convenient for programming. However, for other syscalls where we pass only one argument, there's no justification to specify -1. This behavior is identical to how Linux handles the value -1, and is influenced by the fact that the manual pages for the group of one argument syscalls that handle ID operations is ambiguous about this topic.
