https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60744 Bug ID: 60744 Summary: waitid man page does not document the 5th argument "struct rusage*" Product: Documentation Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: man-pages Assignee: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: hannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No I just spent 5 hours debugging my program and trying to figure out why the kernel overwrote my stack. I had to read the source code to realize that the real syscall took an additional 5th argument. Wrong signature: int waitid(idtype_t idtype, id_t id, siginfo_t *infop, int options); Correct signature: int waitid(idtype_t idtype, id_t id, siginfo_t *infop, int options, struct rusage* rusage); The kernel man pages should not assume that the user is using glibc, or at least give enough information for developers to write their own, correct wrappers. -- 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
