Description Benjamin Lutz 2003-10-01 00:30:04 UTC

There's a typo in the pthread_mutex_init manpage. In the ERRORS section,
at [EAGAIN], the text reads "The temporarily lacks the resources..."
when it (I assume) should read "The process temporarily lacks...".

How-To-Repeat: man pthread_mutex_init

I checked the definition of pthread_mutex_init in:

	-current /usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_mutex.c
	-stable /usr/src/lib/libc_r/uthread/uthread_mutex.c

Unless I missed something neither is capable of returning EAGAIN.
The other errors listed in the manpage are possible. :-)

Is there a procedure for following up on this with a developer to
make sure I'm not mistaken?

I removed that error code description completely.  A developer on the 
threads@ mailing list confirmed that error can not be generated. 

Thanks!
