@var is intended for placeholders (such as function parameters).
Actual variables need to use @code because @var causes upper-case
output, resulting in a different C identifier.
Job control was made mandatory in POSIX.1-2001: compare
<http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7990989775/xsh/unistd.h.html> with
<http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/unistd.h.html>.
Seventeen years later, we need not devote an entire manual @node to
warning people that this was once an optional POSIX feature.
* manual/job.texi (Job Control is Optional): Remove node, as
job control has not been optional in quite some time.
(Job Control): Mention briefly that systems older than
POSIX.1-2001 might not support job control.
* manual/conf.texi (_POSIX_JOB_CONTROL): Will always be
defined on systems conforming to POSIX.1-2001.
The Summary is now generated from @standards, and syntax-checking is
performed. If invalid @standards syntax is detected, summary.pl will
fail, reporting all errors. Failure and error reporting is disabled
for now, however, since much of the manual is still incomplete
wrt. header and standards annotations.
Note that the sorting order of the Summary has changed; summary.pl
respects the locale, like summary.awk did, but the use of LC_ALL=C is
introduced in the Makefile. Other notable deviations are improved
detection of the annotated elements' names, which are used for
sorting, and improved detection of the @node used to reference into
the manual. The most noticeable difference in the rendered Summary is
that entries may now contain multiple lines, one for each header and
standard combination.
summary.pl accepts a `--help' option, which details the expected
syntax of @standards. If errors are reported, the user is directed to
this feature for further information.
* manual/Makefile: Generate summary.texi with summary.pl.
Force use of the C locale. Update Perl dependency comment.
* manual/header.texi: Update reference to summary.awk.
* manual/macros.texi: Refer authors to `summary.pl --help'.
* manual/summary.awk: Remove file.
* manual/summary.pl: New file. Generate summary.texi, and
check for @standards-related syntax errors.

@standards.

for ChangeLog
* sysdeps/posix/ctermid.c (ctermid): Return a pointer to a
string literal if not passed a buffer.
* manual/job.texi (ctermid): Update reasoning, note deviation
from posix, suggest mtasurace when not passed a buffer, for
future non-preliminary safety notes.
This patch adds a new "Inter-Process Communication"
chapter to cover the sem*, msg*, and shm* functions.
Initially we document only the sem* function signatures
and their safety notes.
