Subject: [PATCH] pthread_atfork.3: Remove a confusing reference to the current thread
Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2022 15:55:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220412135520.2388424-1-arjun@redhat.com> (raw)

The reference to "this thread" in the DESCRIPTION of pthread_atfork(3)
could be incorrectly interpreted to mean that only handlers registered
by the thread calling fork(2) are executed.  Therefore, remove the
reference.
