[PATCH -next 10/10] tty: Update code comment in __proc_set_tty()

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

 



The session and foreground process group pid references will be
non-NULL if tiocsctty() is stealing the controlling tty from another
session (ie., arg == 1 in tiocsctty()).
