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
