Masanari Iida ed27948551 syslog.3: LOG_KERN messages can't be generated from user processes 
Masanari notes that this is an FAQ for logger(1) and that
Solaris and FreeBSD document this point in syslog(3).
The glibc info page also hides this comment in its source:

    Internally, there is also LOG_KERN, but LOG_KERN == 0,
    which means if you try to use it here, just selects default.

Subject: pthread_create(3) - example bug + problems

[...]
A look in the pthread_set_stacksize man page on Mac revealed that on
Mac the stack size must not only be at least PTHREAD_STACK_MIN...
[...]
...but the new stack size must also be a multiple of the system page
size!

From pthread_attr_setstacksize(3):

    pthread_attr_setstacksize() will fail if:

    [EINVAL]           Invalid value for attr.
    [EINVAL]           stacksize is less than PTHREAD_STACK_MIN.
!!!  [EINVAL]           stacksize is not a multiple of the system page size.

See for yourself (PTHREAD_STACK_MIN==8192 on Mac OS X):

$ ./pthread_test -s $((8192*10-1)) a
pthread_attr_setstacksize: Invalid argument
$ ./pthread_test -s $((8192*10)) a
Thread 1: top of stack near 0xb0014f6c; argv_string=a
Joined with thread 1; returned value was A
$ ./pthread_test -s $((8192*10+1)) a
pthread_attr_setstacksize: Invalid argument

Karsten Weiss 061f742a28 pthread_create.3: Fix bug in EXAMPLE program 
The bug is in this part of the code:

    /* Allocate memory for pthread_create() arguments */

    tinfo = calloc(num_threads, num_threads);
    if (tinfo == NULL)
       errExit("calloc");

The calloc() line should read like this instead:

    tinfo = calloc(num_threads, sizeof(struct thread_info));

Michael Kerrisk 3fe44d51dd Tweak check of 'val' after tsearch() call. 2008-09-23 15:38:33 +02:00
George Spelvin 7134d7e62c Clarify closedir()'s treatment of underlying file descriptor. 
At the end of the paragraph in opendir(3) describing fdopendir(), I
think it's worth adding "The file descriptor will be closed when
closedir() is called."  It's a bit ambiguous if the file descriptor
is closed or "given back" at closedir time.

(I've tested this and verified that it's true, BTW.)

Michael Kerrisk 6dea120e68 Fix 'dir' argument name: should be 'dirp'. 
POSIX.1-2008 and glibc call this argument 'dirp' (consistent
with the fact that it is a *pointer* to a DIR structure).

André Goddard Rosa 6fa5dff6b4 tsearch.3: dispose properly of allocated resources in example code 
As there are many users who base their own code on these examples,
we should avoid leaking memory when using functions of tsearch() family.
In the provided example, tsearch() leaks memory whenever it tries to
insert a number which was already inserted before.

Also: include use of tdestroy() in example program.

Michael Kerrisk 3e7a52936d Fix 'dir' argument name: should be 'dirp'. 
The page formerly used both 'dir' and 'dirp'(!).
POSIX.1-2008 and glibc call this argument 'dirp' (consistent
with the fact that it is a *pointer* to a DIR structure).

Michael Kerrisk fe80e23e06 Noted that table size as specified by 'nel' is immutable. 
Described differences between hsearch() and hsearch_r().
Added missing pieces to RETURN VALUE.
Added a number of new entries under ERRORS.
NOTES: added some basic advice on sizing the hash table;
noted that when a table is destroyed, the caller is responsible
for freeing the buffers pointed to by 'key' and 'data' fields.
One of the BUGS was fixed in glibc 2.3.
Rewrote and clarified various other pieces.
