Subject: [patch] send.2, recv.2: Fixed type of msg_controllen in struct msghdr
Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2010 18:13:46 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100818181346.7dee6951@Semtex> (raw)

Hello, 

This patch fixes the type of msg_controllen in the struct msghdr
definition given in send.2 and recv.2 to match the definition in glibc
and the kernel. Applies cleanly to the current head of git (sha hash:
55d56b71...).
