Subject: [PATCH] sigprocmask.2: do not specify an exact value of rt_sigprocmask's 4th argument
Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2017 00:13:03 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170219211302.GA30235@altlinux.org> (raw)

As sizeof(kernel_sigset_t) is not the same for all architectures,
it would be better not to mention any numbers as its value.

Signed-off-by: Dmitry V. Levin <ldv-u2l5PoMzF/Vg9hUCZPvPmw@public.gmane.org>
