https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=255664 --- Comment #4 from P Kern <des.gaufres@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Fernando Apesteguía from comment #3) That's correct. The relevant lines in syslog.c are ... /* * Provide the process ID regardless of whether LOG_PID has been * specified, as it provides valuable information. Many * applications tend not to use this, even though they should. */ (void)fprintf(fp, "%d ", getpid()); ... Previous to this, LOG_PID was optional. The man page only states that LOG_PID is now enabled by default for FreeBSD. Since LOG_PID used to be optional, some (like me) might reasonably expect that it would still be possible to disable LOG_PID. The above patch is meant to adjust the syslog(3) man page to make it clear that for FreeBSD, LOG_PID is now permanent, that it is no longer optional. Does that help? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.home | help
