https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42705 Summary: ioctl prototype is incorrect 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: kosaki.motohiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No Now, the ioctl man page (*) says ioctl declaration is int ioctl(int d, int request, ...); (*) http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/ioctl.2.html But, actual glibc implementtion has a different type. /usr/include/sys/ioctl.h: extern int ioctl (int __fd, unsigned long int __request, ...) __THROW; Look, __request parameter actually has unsigned long type. it's not int. It would be better if the man respect an implemtation. -- 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
