            Bug ID: 216876
           Summary: prototype for execveat() in the documentation appears
                    wrong
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
          Reporter: markgaleck@xxxxxxxxx
        Regression: No

prototype for execveat() in the documentation is:

int execveat(int dirfd, const char *pathname,
                    const char *const argv[], const char *const envp[],
                    int flags);


This appears to be inconsistent with similar functions, other documentation,
and my sources (latest Ubuntu distribution). 


I think two of the "const" should be dropped so that we should have:

int execveat(int dirfd, const char *pathname,
                    char *const argv[], char *const envp[],
                    int flags);
