And another question about a different part of the page: > +.SH "RETURN VALUE" > +On success, > +.BR process_vm_readv () > +returns the number of bytes read while > +.BR process_vm_writev () > +returns the number of bytes written. > + > +On error, the number of bytes read or written is returned, or -1 is > +returned if it was unable to read/write any bytes; in either case, > +.I errno > +is set appropriately. Is that last piece really true? On error, how does the syscall return number of bytes read or written *and* set errno?
