bug in proc(5) manpage

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



hi,
the man page for "proc" says for the /proc/[pid]/stat files the field
"itrealvalue":

"Since kernel 2.6.17, this field is no longer maintained, and is hard
coded as 0."

Looking at the kernel source[1] however, I see that the field is not
hard coded as 0 but instead has been removed completely. Since this may
result in a one-off when searching for a specific field, it should be
documented correctly.

Best regards,

Andre


[1] compare the relevant file of 2.6.16 and 2.6.17 
    sources:
    http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.16/fs/proc/array.c#L415
    http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.17/fs/proc/array.c#L413
