Description Michael C Thompson 2006-02-01 09:11:33 UTC
As of man pages emerge version:
sys-apps/man-pages-2.20

There is an error in the man pages for clone(2), where the following text is duplicated:

       CLONE_STOPPED (since Linux 2.6.0-test2)
              If CLONE_STOPPED is set, then the child is initially stopped (as
              though it was sent a SIGSTOP signal), and  must  be  resumed  by
              sending it a SIGCONT signal.

       CLONE_STOPPED (since Linux 2.6.0-test2)
              If CLONE_STOPPED is set, then the child is initially stopped (as
              though it was sent a SIGSTOP signal), and  must  be  resumed  by
              sending it a SIGCONT signal.

Please, report such things upstream...

Didn't know who it should be reported to, is there a list of upstream maintainers (non-kernel) that is easily available anywhere?

<snip>
The Linux man pages are maintained by Michael Kerrisk. Corrections and additions are welcome. The page undocumented (3)contains a list of routines present in glibc for which no man page is available yet.
