Bug ID: 247386
Summary: Description of the last argument of procctl is
confusing
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Manual Pages
Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
Reporter: pa...@free.fr
CC: d...@freebsd.org
The man page gives the following signature
int procctl(idtype_t idtype, id_t id, int cmd, void *arg);
(note the name of the last argument, 'arg').
In the following descriptions 'arg' is used for PROC_ASLR_CTL,
PROC_ASLR_STATUS, PROC_SPROTECT.
PROC_REAP_ACQUIRE seems not to use the 4th argument.
Then the 7 following descriptions starting with PROC_REAP_STATUS use 'data'
PROC_PDEATHSIG_STATUS switches back to 'arg'. And the last two are 'data'
again.
I see that syscalls.master calls the last argument 'data', so there seems to be
a mix of the signature given in the man page and the one in syscalls.master.
I think that it would be clearer to use 'arg' consistently.
