Possibly misleading description of cflags parameter in regcomp(3)

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

 



Hello.

"man 3 regcomp" says "cflags may be the bitwise-or of one or more of
the following", but I'm fairly certain that 0 is also a legal value
for this parameter.

The page http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/regcomp.html
says "The cflags argument is the bitwise-inclusive OR of zero or more
of the following flags...".

If 0 is, indeed, a legal value then I think it would be more clear if
the manpage said "cflags may be the bitwise-or of zero or more of the
following".

(Sorry for the duplicate email. vger.kernel.org bounced the original
apparently due to Gmail's use of HTML.)
