Subject: [PATCH] man/man3/pthread_attr_init.3: Replace errc
Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2025 02:27:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250820012725.440625-1-dave@treblig.org> (raw)
From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dave@treblig.org>
The pthread_attr_init.3 example uses 'errc' to exit on an error
printing the error code. However, 'errc' is a BSDism that Linux
doesn't (and has never?) have.
Replace it by 'errx' with a strerror() call.
