Synopsis: [patch] MSG_PEEK listed on send(2) but not applicable Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-doc->wollman Responsible-Changed-By: roam Responsible-Changed-When: Thu Apr 26 14:33:17 UTC 2007 Responsible-Changed-Why: The MSG_PEEK flag was added to the send(2) manual page by Garrett Wollman in rev. 1.2, so I think he ought to be the one to decide whether the flag should be removed - albeit it might be just a tad difficult to recall the original reasoning back from 1995 :) Garrett, the way I see it, the MSG_PEEK flag was either: - added because it was related to T/TCP, and thus ought to have been removed from the send(2) manual page by Joel Dahl's rev. 1.33; - added because it was in the list of flags copied over from the <sys/socket.h> file, and thus ought to be removed, since it is not really relevant to the send(2) syscall :) - added for some other reasons that I cannot think of right now, but that still make it necessary for that flag to be in the send(2) manual page :) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=109667
