Subject: manpages-dev: putpmsg(2) says it is unimplemented, but syscalls(2) does not list it as such

Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 20:31:16 +0200

Package: manpages-dev
Version: 3.17-1
Severity: minor

putpmsg(2) man page is the unimplemented syscall manpage:

------------------------------------------------------------
$ ls -l /usr/share/man/man2/putpmsg.2.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2009-01-26 22:03 /usr/share/man/man2/putpmsg.2.gz -> unimplemented.2.gz
------------------------------------------------------------

However, it is not listed as unimplemented in syscalls(2), which lists
other syscalls as unimplemented:

------------------------------------------------------------
       pread64(2)                                Added as "pread" in 2.2;
                                                 renamed "pread64" in 2.6
       prof(2)                                   Not implemented
       profil(2)                                 Not implemented
       pselect6(2)                 2.6.16
       ptrace(2)
       putpmsg(2)
       pwrite64(2)                               Added as "pwrite" in 2.2;
                                                 renamed "pwrite64" in 2.6
       query_module(2)             2.2
------------------------------------------------------------

putpmsg(2) should probably be listed as "Not implemented" in
syscalls(2).

Agreed, and the same remark applies for getpmsg(2).  I've updated
syscalls(2) to note that these system calls are both unimplemented.
The update will be in upstream man-pages-3.19.

Thanks,

Michael
