while reading the /proc/[pid]/stat part in proc(5), I noticed two minor issues that should be fixed: 1. The text reads: "flags %u (%lu before Linux 2.6.22) kernel flags word of the process. For bit meanings, see the PF_* defines in <linux/sched.h>." PF_* is obvisously wrong. It should be CLONE_*.I haven't looked closely, but I think PF_* is correct. Why do you think it's wrong?
To my understanding, flags contains process flags (i.e., CLONE_*), which are defined in <linux/sched.h>. PF_* flags, on the other hand, specify protocol flags. Those are not related to <linux/sched.h> at all, but defined in <bits/socket.h> Best regards Tolga Dalman -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
