Re: man pages for a specific kernel version

Thanks for the reply.I am actually looking for system calls man pages
for kernel 2.6.34 version.So far I have found that the man pages are
maintained separately from kernel. In this way it is uncertain whether
the behavior described by man pages applies to this specific version
or not.This is particularly true for the errors code returned by
kernel.

Regards,
Ram
