From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Daniel Gollub Subject: [patch 2/3] [man-pages] Remove "bufsize is not positive" from readlink(2) error section Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2008 16:50:57 +0200 Message-ID: <20081023150549.038994457@marvin.suse.de> References: <20081023145054.998439866@marvin.suse.de> Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline; filename=man-pages-readlink-2.diff Sender: linux-api-owner-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org To: linux-kernel-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org Cc: linux-api-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org, linux-man-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org, ltp-list-5NWGOfrQmneRv+LV9MX5uipxlwaOVQ5f@public.gmane.org List-Id: linux-api@vger.kernel.org The error statement "bufsize is not positive" is obsolete, if this proposed syscall interface change get accepted. Note: Kernel 2.6.27 and older shipped sys_readlink with a signed "bufsiz" argument. Man-page document the readlink syscall always as unsigend (size_t).
