We received a PR that pointed out this section of the pthread_mutex_init(3)
manual page is not proper English:
[EAGAIN] The temporarily lacks the resources to create another
mutex.
I looked at the source code for it in:
-current /usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_mutex.c
-stable /usr/src/lib/libc_r/uthread/uthread_mutex.c
In both cases unless I'm missing something that error code will never
be returned.
Should I fix it to say "The system temporarily lacks a non-memory
resource to create another mutex" (which I got from a programming
book I had on hand) or should I remove the reference to that error
code?
Thanks.
