Subject: [PATCH] delete_module.2: SYNOPSIS: Fix prototype parameter types
Date: Wed, 30 Dec 2020 22:41:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201230214147.874671-3-alx.manpages@gmail.com> (raw)

The Linux kernel uses 'unsigned int' instead of 'int' for the
'flags' parameter.  As glibc provides no wrapper, use the same
type the kernel uses.

......

$ syscall='delete_module';
$ find linux/ -type f -name '*.c' \
  |xargs pcregrep -Mn "(?s)^[\w_]*SYSCALL_DEFINE.\(${syscall},.*?\)";
linux/kernel/module.c:977:
SYSCALL_DEFINE2(delete_module, const char __user *, name_user,
		unsigned int, flags)
