[PATCH] fanotify.7: Reword FAN_REPORT_FID data structure inclusion semantics

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

 



Improved the readability of a sentence that describes the use of
FAN_REPORT_FID and how this particular flag influences what data
structures a listening application could expect to receive when
describing an event.

provided below is clearer. Any objections, please let me know.
