Message-ID: <000701c89883$6a12bdd0$3d02a8c0@D35PN52J> Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2008 09:45:56 +0200 From: "Charlie Gordon" <gnu@...rlie.org> To: <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: PROBLEM: documentation error in man page for ptsname(3) The prototype for ptsname_r is incorrect. It reads: char *ptsname_r(int fd, char *buf, size_t buflen); The actual prototype for this function in glibc stdlib.h is extern int ptsname_r (int __fd, char *__buf, size_t __buflen); This is very confusing as the test for an error is exactly the opposite ;-) The manual page is dated 2004-12-17, but seems current as part of release 2.79. The bug is present in the online version at http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man3/ptsname.3.html .
