Subject: [Patch] Add the ENOSYS description for syslog(2)
Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2008 17:29:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080619172932.0509e359@hack> (raw)
Hi, Michael!
syslog(2) just returns ENOSYS when CONFIG_PRINTK is not enabled.
This should be described in man pages, I think.
Patch is below.
Thanks.
