System: NetBSD danbala 1.4.2 NetBSD 1.4.2 (DANBALA) #0: Wed Jan 1 04:30:28 MET 1997 root@:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/DANBALA i386


>Description:
The man page for minherit(2) lists sys/types.h and sys/mman.h
as required include files, but the types of inheritance (VM_INHERIT_*)
are defined in neither.  grepping in /usr/inlucde reveales, that it is
defined in vm/vm_inherit.h, which is included by vm/vm.h.  However,
including either results in compile errors.

>How-To-Repeat:
the following piece of code results in a compile error (replace [ with
<; I don't know how to prevent send-pr from removing <):

#include [sys/types.h]
#include [sys/mman.h]
int foo = VM_INHERIT_SHARE
>Fix:
Define the VM_INHERIT_* macros documented in minherit(2) in some header
file that can be included from user programs and update the man page if
necessary.
