Mismatch between implementation and manpage Product: Documentation Version: unspecified Kernel Version: 2.6.36 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: man-pages AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: kernelbugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No The epoll_create manpage (current version as of 2010-11-28) contains: SYNOPSIS ... int epoll_create(int size); ... DESCRIPTION ... (Nowadays, size is ignored; see NOTES below.) ... ERRORS EINVAL size is not positive. ... NOTES Since Linux 2.6.8, the size argument is unused. ... on the other hand, fs/eventpoll.c contains: SYSCALL_DEFINE1(epoll_create, int, size) { if (size <= 0) return -EINVAL; return sys_epoll_create1(0); } The size parameter is not ignored as stated in the manpage. Please correct the manpage or remove the check inside the implementation. -- 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
