typo in man pthread_sigqueue

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The type of pthread_sigqueue is reported in the manpage (both online
and in any package I can find) as

       int pthread_sigqueue(pthread_t *thread, int sig,
                            const union sigval value);

I believe this is incorrect; thread is a pthread_t, not a pthread_t*.
This can be easily verified by looking at the source:
http://www.eglibc.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/libc/nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pthread_sigqueue.c?view=markup

(Or just by noting that throughout pthreads, pthread_ts are passed by
value.  The only other pthread_t * that comes to mind is the one
initialized by pthread_create.)

I'd send a patch myself but I'm not clear where the manpages sources
are and don't have time to go searching right now--my apologies.
