Differences between man-pages and libc manual safety markings

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

 



Hello Haitao,

I was comparing some of the MT-Safety markings in man-pages versus the glibc
manual (https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_mono/libc.html)
I found four cases that seem to contradict. Are there errors in either
the man pages or in the glibc manual?

==
ctermid.3       MT-Unsafe race:ctermid/!s
	glibc: MT-Safe

man-pages and glibc manual disagree (man-pages seems to be more
precise than glibc).

==
getcwd.3        MT-Safe env
	glibc: MT-Safe

man-pages and glibc manual disagree on "env" (man-pages seems 
to be more precise than glibc).

==
getlogin.3      MT-Unsafe race:cuserid/!string locale
	glibc: MT-Unsafe race:getlogin race:utent sig:ALRM timer locale

man-pages and glibc manual disagree on "race:cuserid/!string" versus
"race:getlogin"

==
regex.3         MT-Safe env
	glibc: MT-Safe locale

man-pages and glibc manual disagree on "env" versus "locale"

==

Cheers,

Michael
