Subject: [PING] [PATCH v2] sigprocmask.2: do not specify an exact value of rt_sigprocmask's 4th argument
Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2017 12:49:00 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170315094859.GA5852@altlinux.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170220154327.GA9511-u2l5PoMzF/Vg9hUCZPvPmw@public.gmane.org>
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>

v2: mention that sizeof(kernel_sigset_t) is architecture specific.
