Package: manpages
Version: 2.63-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Hello,
Here are various typos which I checked are still present in 2.65.
(manpages_typos.patch)
I also have a question in madvise.2, I don't understand "return file" in:
Free up a given range of pages and its associated backing store.
Currently, only shmfs/tmpfs supports this; other filesystems return file
with the error ENOSYS.
Is it a typo or is my English more broken than I think?
Also, in spu_create.2:
Shouldn't "file handler" be a "file descriptor" instead? (or is this
equivalent?)
Thanks in advance,
--
