sys_process_vm_readv, sys_process_vm_writev man pages?

sys_process_vm_readv, sys_process_vm_writev man pages?

[Tom Horsley]

This bugzilla points me to the sys_process_vm_readv and
sys_process_vm_writev system calls as though I should
just obviously know what they are and how to call them :-).

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=790456

There doesn't appear to be any man pages for them or
even any notes in the kernel Documentation directory
talking about them.

Any chance someone who knows what the interface is
could add a man page?

The man page was added about a year ago. I think you need to upgrade
your man-pages:

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/changelog.html#release_3.40
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/process_vm_readv.2.html

Cheers,

Michael
