Author: jhb Date: Thu Jul 25 19:34:24 2013 New Revision: 253656 URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/253656 Log: Enhance the description of NOTE_TRACK: - NOTE_TRACK has never triggered a NOTE_TRACK event from the parent pid. If NOTE_FORK is set, the listener will get a NOTE_FORK event from the parent pid, but not a separate NOTE_TRACK event. - Explicitly note that the event added to monitor the child process preserves the fflags from the original event. - Move the description of NOTE_TRACKERR under NOTE_TRACK as it is not a bit for the user to set (which is what this list pupports to be). Also, explicitly note that if an error occurs, the NOTE_CHILD event will not be generated.
