           Summary: execve may return EAGAIN on v3.1 or later
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
        AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/vQLgFONoPN62D2FQJk+8+b@public.gmane.org
        ReportedBy: kosaki.motohiro-+CUm20s59erQFUHtdCDX3A@public.gmane.org
        Regression: No


Following commit changed RLIMIT_NPROC rule. now set*uid() never return EAGAIN.
And instead,
execve() may return EAGAIN.

If man pages respect this change, it would be better.
