Subject: [PATCH] tkill.2: SYNOPSIS: Fix prototype parameter types
Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2021 14:15:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210215131522.450666-8-alx.manpages@gmail.com> (raw)

All but the last parameters of t[g]kill() use 'pid_t',
both in the kernel and glibc.  Fix them.

......

.../linux/linux$ grep_syscall tkill
kernel/signal.c:3870:
SYSCALL_DEFINE2(tkill, pid_t, pid, int, sig)
include/linux/syscalls.h:685:
asmlinkage long sys_tkill(pid_t pid, int sig);
.../linux/linux$

.../gnu/glibc$ grep_glibc_prototype tgkill
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/signal_ext.h:29:
extern int tgkill (__pid_t __tgid, __pid_t __tid, int __signal);
.../gnu/glibc$
