From: Samy Al Bahra <samy@kerneled.com>
To: flynn@energyhq.homeip.net
Subject: Error in rfork(2) man page
Description
-------------
The rfork() man page states that RFPROC must be set as the
current implementation 'requires' this flag to always be set.
Well from usage and kern_fork.c (/usr/src/sys/kern/kern_fork.c)
and vm_glue.c (/usr/src/sys/vm/vm_glue.c) it seems that the
current implementation does not 'require' this at all and it
behaves as it should behave with the RFPROC flag.
Fix
-------
The fix for this is very minute, simply change the current
RFPROC macro description to:
"If set, a new process is created; otherwise, changes affect
the current process."
instead of the current
"If set a new process is created; otherwise changes affect
the current process. The current implementation requires
this flag to always be set."
Regards,
Samy
