Clarify that the pthread_atfork() callback list is a global, not per-thread. The use of "this thread" implied to some readers that pthread_atfork() maintained per-thread lists of callbacks. Given that the next sentence already explains that the callbacks are run in the context of the thread that calls fork(), I actually think it would be fine not to mention threads at all in the earlier sentence, but for now I've gone with what I think was intended to be written. --- man3/pthread_atfork.3 | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/man3/pthread_atfork.3 b/man3/pthread_atfork.3 index b727cb48e..3e61e797f 100644 --- a/man3/pthread_atfork.3 +++ b/man3/pthread_atfork.3 @@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ The .BR pthread_atfork () function registers fork handlers that are to be executed when .BR fork (2) -is called by this thread. +is called by any thread in a process.
