            Bug ID: 221134
           Summary: Missing info in prctl's man page about PR_SET_DUMPABLE
                    being reset
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: h.sousou97@gmail.com
        Regression: No

According to [proc pid man page
](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/proc_pid.5.html)

The attribute was reset to the value in the file /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable
(described  below),  for the reasons described in
[prctl](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/prctl.2.html)(2).

Its not clear where in prctl's man page those reasons are described.
