[patch] recv.2: correct non-existent name msg_iovec

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

 



Hello Alejandro!

I think there is a mistake on the manpage for recv. In the description of
the flag MSG_ERRQUEUE it says that data is passed via "msg_iovec". This is
probably referring to msg_iov in struct msghdr
(from /usr/include/bits/socket.h). A "msg_iovec" doesn't seem to exist.
Maybe it was spelled wrong because it's of type struct iovec.
If it is indeed wrong then the following patch corrects it:

Subject: [PATCH] recv.2: field msg_iov in struct msghdr is wrongly called
 msg_iovec. Corrected to msg_iov.
