Package: manpages-dev Version: 2.25-3 Severity: normal Tags: upstream It seems that the clone manpage is out of sync with the libc/kernel reality.
In particular, the following succeeds, but the annotation says that it should not: CLONE_NEWNS|CLONE_FS CLONE_THREAD (because CLONE_SIGHAND is not set) CLONE_SIGHAND (because CLONE_VM is not set) There is also mention of a "CLONE_DETACHED" flag which is not otherwise mentioned; (the header files indicate that it is ignored). Also, I can't follow the description of sys_clone, mostly because the prototype doesn't make sense. Instead of being a prototype of clone, it looks like it is just copied from the definition (somewhere). Doesn't it make more sense to include something like: clone(int flags, void *child_stack, int *parent_tidptr, struct user_desc *newtls, int *child_tidptr); Instead of the stuff that some scary-looking macro in a burried header file that generates the definition? :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
