[PATCH] subpage_prot.2: SYNOPSIS: Fix return type: s/long/int/

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

 



The Linux kernel uses 'int' instead of 'long' for the return type.
As glibc provides no wrapper, use the same type the kernel uses.

$ grep -n wrapper man-pages/man2/subpage_prot.2
40:There is no glibc wrapper for this system call; see NOTES.
99:Glibc does not provide a wrapper for this system call; call it using

$ grep -rn SYSCALL_DEFINE.*subpage_prot linux/;

SYSCALL_DEFINE3(subpage_prot, unsigned long, addr,

	return err;

$ sed -n /SYSCALL.*subpage_prot/,/^}/p \
  linux/arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/subpage_prot.c \
  |grep '\<err\>';
	int err;
			err = -ENOMEM;
