"past" is, among other things, a preposition and it tells the position, with respect to the object ("the maximum value"), where the verb (wrapping) happens. So "past" is correct, not "passed". diff --git a/man2/times.2 b/man2/times.2 index e605feb6aae2..8d68efc4358c 100644 --- a/man2/times.2 +++ b/man2/times.2 @@ -196,7 +196,7 @@ A limitation of the Linux system call conventions on so= me architectures (41 seconds) soon after boot when .BR times () can return \-1, falsely indicating that an error occurred. -The same problem can occur when the return value wraps passed +The same problem can occur when the return value wraps past the maximum value that can be stored in .BR clock_t . .\" The problem is that a syscall return of -4095 to -1 --Sig_/aVe6rr8=fgXbRDb0V_ArrHL Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQIVAwUBU5mSWjnsnt1WYoG5AQIqCg//QEXmRiHklHFerbJH0EN6AtlAGRtEE5t7 oYNLhUdyx0QXcUQh5buidkrByasVO7A9kEUrXIWrq46cAEBn2cBBolGTc4dA/rFf fyUP/PEAyoW2fDEZcs3ox1YGVyFudwtz3pj2K7yZTZ2GYGLEu91BbZXOBu7vGp0w k8Pl1DTkTei+HyWs/eZO7KTKV9NAZKdgPshlR4Yg8I5fCTYHFeA72KGWrzanJZqJ Mb9z9rMgelpwZ8zCRK6CBAIzPByw6+NNS1FdghDBJ1fATo4SPbKIt08AF93BUeZP B2W1UWiolIjzrMgomZVs0pIOUMnfQ7ItM2R2vr/4muagQB95vHVQfKL+4Nvhrvtp k9WAqNOBkDEDLkZ+mlV1R7oDuCfGXcvspxxBJvmj+Z9xXY4cH01pkvEa5VVXvWy/ 0vQ1fC5VjAnF3nJ4tVXz/c4qQeuvY/DOB7jJfeUxaS9yyHwE8gVmEwEaHLKn5eFz 4N9ZWACVoHkVVqDLpd7AsG03DLRfeq+6R/qO6eFO2uVgKTmWpcIyuuUpv5hPESxx z8KidSQsnVsYo7tIr+nICA2CkQwfwKWcUtJ5xUNvV2PBmr8x0686pFjCLoSDhFJ5 RRjvOL7QKn6Jyb6mPVACeIAAsFviqb2Y3ql0lH2NZTft5ZlsigaZNt0F+qbqLHeZ vu8P90kuYR8= =lNgE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/aVe6rr8=fgXbRDb0V_ArrHL-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
