Subject: [PATCH] MAN: Clarify mremap.2 prototype
Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2010 11:08:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100603090818.GA4741@basil.fritz.box> (raw)

MAN: Clarify mremap.2 prototype

mremap sometimes accepts more arguments and sometimes less.
Clarify this in the prototype and initial description in the manpage.
