https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66571 Bug ID: 66571 Summary: epoll_wait has it wrong about timeout and EINTR Product: Documentation Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: low Priority: P1 Component: man-pages Assignee: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: jonas@xxxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No The epoll_wait(2) man page says: "EINTR The call was interrupted by a signal handler before either any of the requested events occurred or the timeout expired; see signal(7)." Looking at the code of the kernel, EINTR is only returned when there is a pending signal. If the timeout expires, it will simply return without an error. Simply removing the "or the timeout expired" part should be enough. -- 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
