6995bb61b6 Various cleanups & markup fixes, mostly relating to the stat and statvfs 
result object changes.

c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no 
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

db7287c0f5 Straighten out the exec*() function descriptions a bit, and clarify a few 
points in the spawn*() description.

938a8d723c Improve the documentation for the os.P_* constants used with the os.spawn*() 
functions to include information about how they affect the operation of
those functions when used as the "mode" parameter.
This closes SF bug #468384.

Added warnings to the os.tempnam() and os.tmpnam() functions regarding their
security problem.  These warning mirror the warnings added to the runtime
by Skip Montanaro.

098d7fae39 Document clearly that the only way to retrieve the return code from the 
child processes is to use the Popen3 and Popen4 classes.
This fixes SF bug #460512.

739282da83 Re-write the description of the os.spawn*() functions, and cover the 
whole family instead of just two.


This closes SF bug #451630.

8a2adcf812 Typo: Added missing "if".

efaef13c81 Update the availability information for os.tempnam(), os.tmpfile(), and 
os.tmpnam().

8ee679f0ce Minor changes to match the style guide. 2001-07-14 02:50:55 +00:00
Fred Drake
907e76b620 Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make 
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.

0b9bc20e66 Add the appropriate availability annotations for the popen*() family of 
functions -- these are not available on traditional Mac OS platforms.

Corrected the version annotations for the spawn*() functions and related
constants; these were added in Python 1.6, not 1.5.2.

046f4d810d Fixed parameter order for os.popen2(), os.popen3(), and os.popen(4). Added 
a reference to these functions and popen() from the "Process Management"
section.

Based on a suggestion from comp.lang.python.

81e142b907 Document os.getenv(). 
This closes SF bug #429059.

dc9e7e42c8 readlink() description: Added note that the return value may be either 
absolute or relative.

remove(), rename() descriptions:  Give more information about the cross-
    platform behavior of these functions, so single-platform developers
    can be aware of the potential issues when writing portable code.

This closes SF patch #426598.

annotation.

21c9df7641 For os.stat() & friends, note that the time fields are returned as 
floating-point values.

Fred Drake
c71c23e392 Added \versionchanged comment to os.popen() noting that it was unreliable 
in earlier versions of Python; this is useful information for people
interested in writing code that is portable across Python versions.

Suggested by Peter Funk <pf@artcom-gmbh.de>.
