value indicating the error.

Michael Kerrisk 898e9a87df Hello Joey, 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=205736

[[
This example contains the following line:

    if ((p = realloc (p, size)) == NULL)
       return NULL;

This is a very ill written code, since realloc returning
NULL do not deallocate the original memory block. Such a 
statement has a potential to become significant memory
hole. I suggest to correct this example since:

1. It may trick naive programmers to write bad code
2. It may lead skeptic observers to the believe 
   the whole Linux is written in a similar style.
   

Regards Jan Kuznik

This guy is right on the money!

I've changed that example, so that the above code has been replaced by:

    char *np;

    ...


    if ((np = realloc (p, size)) == NULL) {
        free(p);
        return NULL;
    } else {
        p = np;
    }

Cheers,

Michael

[[
shm_open(3) refers to O_RWDR during discussion of the possible values of
oflags, and later refers to O_RDWR.  The reference to O_RWDR is
incorrect (likely a typo) and should be changed to O_RDWR.
