[Cbe-oss-dev] spu_create.2 man page

[Michael Kerrisk]

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for the revised SPUFS pages!

I have a few questions about the pages -- I will separate them by page;
this mail for spu_create.2...

==

Could you explain to me in a sentence or three what a "gang" is?  I might
add a few further words to the page about this term.

==

The page contains the text:

   "Isolated contexts are protected from some PPE operations,"

Does that mean:

   "Isolated contexts are prevented from performing from
    some PPE operations,"
?

Also, what does PPE stand for?  Is it worth mentioning this in the page?

==

Naive typographical question: should "npc register" be "NPC register"?

==

The page contains the text:

    "Using this flag requires that the other SPU context
     be passed in the"

Should this be:

    "Using this flag requires that a file descriptor referring to
     the other SPU context be passed in the"

==

Cheers,

Michael
