	The Linux kernel is a protean, rapidly-changing thing. This is reflected even in "stable" APIs, especially when additions are strictly augmentative with regards to standards. Readers of classics like [[APIUE]] would do well to keep up with their [[LKML]], or at least man pages. I'm documenting departures from these standards as I come across them in various man pages and source code. The kernel man pages can be browsed at http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online_pages.html. This page serves as a companion to "[[FreeBSD APIs]]".
