The branch stable/13 has been updated by olce: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=72ef14799d4c084494078b56acefb0272419c519 commit 72ef14799d4c084494078b56acefb0272419c519 Author: Olivier Certner <olce@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2024-01-05 13:14:48 +0000 Commit: Olivier Certner <olce@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2024-01-26 21:04:46 +0000 pthread_attr_get_np(3): Revamp Fix and more thoroughly describe the attributes object lifecycle. Also, correct the text about which attributes' values are reported. Add the ENOMEM error. While here, rephrase unclear passages, add references and fix the example's style.
