http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11011 Summary: utmpname(3) returns interger but man page says void Product: Documentation Version: unspecified KernelVersion: 2.6.9-1.667 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: man-pages AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: halesh.s@xxxxxxxxx In the link http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/libc/Manipulating-the-Database.html It has mentioned that "The utmpname function returns a value of 0 if the new name was successfully stored, and a value of -1 to indicate an error. Note that utmpname does not try to open the database, and that therefore the return value does not say anything about whether the database can be successfully opened." But in man page it says it return void in its prototype. void utmpname(const char *file); In source code I have verified it returns int. int __utmpname (const char *file) { .... .... } This is conflicting one and man page of utmpnae(3) needs to be fixed. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
