The manual page says the return type of getrandom(2) is int, but ssize_t would be more natural (see read(2) for comparison). The kernel uses ssize_t internally, which is converted to long on the system call boundary. The difference does not currently matter because the return value is limited to much less than INT_MAX in the implementation. Should we use int or ssize_t in the glibc system call wrapper? -- 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
