not "Month, ##, ####"
1999-06-05change some .Em/.Va to .Li, looks nicerAaron Campbell
1999-06-04After some constructive criticism from pjanzen@ and some e-mail tag:Aaron Campbell
- only use the .Dv NULL form when referring explicitly to a function argument or return value - otherwise, use these forms: o non-null o null-terminated (hyphenated form for predicate adjective) o else, null terminated, or null terminate, whichever the case o null pointer, null byte, null string, etc. - may use NUL to refer to an ASCII NUL, but it doesn't need a .Tn macro In general, capitalizing the word "null" everywhere is unnecessary and makes the man pages harder to read. The above is consistent with popular programming texts (i.e., K&R, Stevens).
1999-06-03use \-1, not -1, to change the meaning of `-' to minus sign from hyphen;Aaron Campbell

1999-05-29repairs; go back over some old files, because we should properly distinguishAaron Campbell
between NUL and NULL, i.e., don't use the .Dv (defined variable) macro when referring to an ASCII NUL
