As far as I can see linux(4) is correct for 4.X, in it's current form, as it is for -CURRENT, so I think this PR can be solved by MFC'ing src/share/man/man4/man4.i386/linux.4 . Note: linux(4) references brandelf(1). -- Simon L. Nielsen Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-doc->hmp I will take care of this once I get approval from RE team. State Changed From-To: open->closed The linux(4) manual page has been MFC'ed. Thanks. |
I recently tried to run a Linux binary on my FreeBSD 4.5 system, getting the following nastygram: ELF binary type "0" not known. Abort trap Using file(1) on the binary, I got: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, statically I tried an "apropos linux" with no success, and had to be bailed out by someone on freebsd-questions. Fix: One possible fix would be to expand the brandelf "NAME" line: brandelf - mark an ELF binary for a specific ABI (eg, Linux) A more general solution would be to add a "linux" page (eg, in section 7), talking about known issues with Linux compatibility mode, etc. How-To-Repeat: % apropos linux
