Subject: [Bug 219921] New: posix_fadvise refers to non-existent len parameter
Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2025 00:32:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-219921-11311@https.bugzilla.kernel.org/> (raw)

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219921

            Bug ID: 219921
           Summary: posix_fadvise refers to non-existent len parameter
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: ppluzhnikov@google.com
        Regression: No

The man page currently reads:

int posix_fadvise(int fd, off_t offset, off_t size, int advice);

The advice applies to a (not necessarily existent) region starting
at offset and extending for len bytes (or until the end of the
file if len is 0) within the file referred to by fd.

But there is no "len" in the prototype.

Changing "size" to "len" in the prototype or "len" to "size" in the description
would fix this.
