>Description:
The sigaltstack(2) man page defines a
struct sigaltstack {
caddr_t ss_sp;
long ss_size;
int ss_flags;
};
But the definition in <sys/signal.h> is
struct sigaltstack {
char *ss_base; /* signal stack base */
int ss_size; /* signal stack length */
int ss_flags; /* SA_DISABLE and/or SA_ONSTACK */
};
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Fix the man page.
