https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D247386 Bug ID: 247386 Summary: Description of the last argument of procctl is confusing Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: paulf@free.fr CC: doc@FreeBSD.org The man page gives the following signature int procctl(idtype_t idtype, id_t id, int cmd, void *arg); (note the name of the last argument, 'arg'). In the following descriptions 'arg' is used for PROC_ASLR_CTL, PROC_ASLR_STATUS, PROC_SPROTECT.=20 PROC_REAP_ACQUIRE seems not to use the 4th argument. Then the 7 following descriptions starting with PROC_REAP_STATUS use 'data' PROC_PDEATHSIG_STATUS switches back to 'arg'. And the last two are 'data' again. I see that syscalls.master calls the last argument 'data', so there seems t= o be a mix of the signature given in the man page and the one in syscalls.master. I think that it would be clearer to use 'arg' consistently. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
