https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15568 --- Comment #3 from Petr Baudis <pasky@xxxxxx> 2010-05-11 08:43:41 --- Mike, I have not meant covering for some possible old versions, but covering for future versions; if you know which version the man-page documents, you can decide if you need to check further to see if your version has something new there. I don't know who was the original author describing O_NONBLOCK. I have never really tended to misinterpret this myself, "Many file systems and disks were considered to be fast enough that the implementation of O_NONBLOCK was deemed unnecessary. So, O_NONBLOCK may not be available on files and/or disks" seemed always rather clear to me, but I agree more detail and mentioning this at other places than read(2) documentation as well would do good. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- 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
