Subject: clone(2) should be clone(3)
Date: Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:01:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <515EF542.8090200@redhat.com> (raw)

Hi Michael,

it looks like the clone(2) man page is describing glibc implementation
and not the system call. So I guess it should be moved to the section 3
and a new man page for clone(2) syscall should be created in section 2.

The clone(2) syscall is defined like this:

SYSCALL_DEFINE5(clone, unsigned long, clone_flags, unsigned long, newsp,
                  int __user *, parent_tidptr,
                  int __user *, child_tidptr,
                  int, tls_val)

(I'm sorry, but I don't have a patch this time.)
