Re: getrandom(2): return type mismatch for getrandom()

Dear Michael,

I'm sorry for the late response, I didn't notice when the commit made it
in.  It seems like your fix just introduced another, though more minor
issue unless I misunderstand something.

The man page now says the return type is "ssize" instead of "ssize_t".
Is that really what you meant to write?

I apologize for any confusion I may have caused.

Sincerely,

Fabio

The getrandom(2) page claims that getrandom() returns int.  It actually
returns ssize_t according to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getrandom.c in
glibc and drivers/char/random.c in Linux.

Thanks. Fixed!

Cheers,

Michael
