https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90261 Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@xxxxxxxxx> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED CC| |mtk.manpages@xxxxxxxxx Resolution|--- |CODE_FIX --- Comment #1 from Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@xxxxxxxxx> --- Thanks for this report. This piece of text in the man page is ancient (from man-pages-1.20, circa 1998), and odd in the sense that it describes a bug in POSIX that was (long ago) subsequently fixed. As the standards committee noted, POSIX here seemed to deviate from existing practice. The simplest fix here I think is to just remove that BUGS section, which is what I have done. -- 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
