[PATCH] execve.2: Correctly the versions of Linux that don't have ARG_MAX argv/envp size

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

 



From: Palmer Dabbelt <palmerdabbelt@xxxxxxxxxx>

I just happened upon this inconsistent text while reading `man 2 execve`.  The
code in question landed in 2.6.23 as b6a2fea39318 ("mm: variable length
argument support").
