Subject: [PATCH 2/3] man/man7/landlock.7: Document AF_UNSPEC behaviour and error codes
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 09:58:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917075853.10231-3-matthieu@buffet.re> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917075853.10231-1-matthieu@buffet.re>

Current TCP documentation is missing a description of how AF_UNSPEC is
mapped (depending on operation and address contents) to AF_INET, and the
error codes synthesized by Landlock.
