Subject: [PATCH] ptsname.3: ERRORS: remove EINVAL
Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2017 12:52:18 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170608125218.GA80475@aloka.lostca.se> (raw)

The glibc implementation of 'ptsname_r' no longer checks if it has
been called with a NULL 'buf' [1], and therefore cannot return an
EINVAL error.

[1] https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=8f0a947
    (prior to the release of glibc 2.26)
