>Description:
I think the msync(2) man page contains a small error but am
not 100% sure. Someone else has to decide. It says:
within the region containing addr will be flushed; if len is non-zero,
only the pages containing addr and len succeeding locations will be exam-
ined. The flags argument may be specified as follows:
Here I think "len locations from addr on" instead of "addr
and len succeeding locations" would be the right term.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read the man page.
>Fix:
In case it is indeed wrong: See above for an alternative
wording.
