[PATCH] man/man2/clone.2: Use munmap() to free child stack

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

 



While reading the help manual for clone.2, I notice that the parent
process in the example code does not release the stack of the child
process.

This is not a problem for the example program, but it is somewhat
misleading.
