man-pages-3.37 is released

I've released man-pages-3.37. The release tarball is available on kernel.org. The browsable online pages can be found on man7.org. The Git repository for man-pages is available on kernel.org (and for the time being at least, also remains available on Github).

The most notable changes in man-pages-3.37 are as follows:
  • A new getent(1) page, contributed by Mark Bannister, documents the getent command provided by glibc.
  • A major update to the ptrace(2) page by Denys Vlasenko.
  • Updates to the capabilities(7) page to add various privileged operations to the lists of operations governed by each capability.

    Hmm, there's still a couple of ptrace commands missing in the list, which have been available since quite a while: PTRACE_GETREGSET, PTRACE_SETREGSET, PTRACE_SEIZE, PTRACE_INTERRUPT, PTRACE_LISTEN.
