http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14411 Summary: pselect man page Linux notes appear to be out of date Product: Documentation Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: man-pages AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: mac@xxxxxxxxxx Regression: No man-pages-3.23 man2/select.2 contains the following text in its BUGS section: Since version 2.1, glibc has provided an emulation of pselect() that is implemented using sigprocmask(2) and select(). This implementation remains vulnerable to the very race condition that pselect() was designed to prevent. It would appear that glibc added support in January 2006 for the real pselect syscall which presumably doesn't suffer from these race conditions.
