Subject: ptrace(PTRACE_SYSCALL) and data field
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2009 23:46:31 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200903172346.32372.vapier@gentoo.org> (raw)

the ptrace(2) page doesnt say anything about the data field (ignored or 
otherwise).  it seems to be ignored, but i didnt trace the kernel 
exhaustively.  the examples found via google shows that it's ignored.  strace 
usage seems odd (it passes in an irrelevant pointer), which would indicate 
it's ignored as well ...
