[PATCH 02/16] clone.2: add information about clone and clone2 on IA-64

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

 



Note that clone() definition on IA-64 is the same as on SH/Tile/Alpha,
align __clone2 declarations in line with the previous ones, add
clone2 syscall prototype.
