Subject: [patch] recv.2, cmsg.3: Fix type of cmsg_len member of cmsghdr structure
Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2016 11:02:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1457690557.5377.2.camel@redhat.com> (raw)

The type shown for cmsg_len member of cmsghdr structure is socklen_t,
but the actual type used by glibc and the kernel is size_t.
