Package: manpages-dev Version: 5.09-2 Severity: normal Hello,
the manpage of sem_init(3) reads: The pshared argument indicates whether this semaphore is to be shared between the threads of a process, or between processes. but in fact, this is exactly the opposite (as the name implies). This argument indicates whether the semaphore is to be shared between several processes, or to be private to the current process and shared only between threads of that process. This is confirmed for example by the Open Group version of the same documentation: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/sem_init.html Also in the same line: the solaris documentation: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19120-01/open.solaris/816-5137/sync-19683/index.html Thanks for packaging this documentation and for centralizing all this work.
