Subject: [PATCH -next 10/10] tty: Update code comment in __proc_set_tty()
Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:59:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1413485990-16855-11-git-send-email-peter@hurleysoftware.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1413485990-16855-1-git-send-email-peter@hurleysoftware.com>

The session and foreground process group pid references will be
non-NULL if tiocsctty() is stealing the controlling tty from another
session (ie., arg == 1 in tiocsctty()).
