|
||||
Seonghun Lim
|
||||
Clean up description of error message source
|
||||
In the second paragraph of DESCRIPTION section, one of the
|
||||
sources of error messages is incorrect: the four functions obtain
|
||||
error message only from errno, and "a code" is just relevant
|
||||
with errc() and warnc(), which are not present on Linux.
|
||||
see http://www.unix.com/man-page/freebsd/3/ERR/ .

||||
malloc.3
|
