Subject: [9front] getpid(2) patch
Reply-To: 9front@9front.org
Precedence: bulk

Fix inconsistency between man page of getpid() with its
implementation.

On 9front getpid() doesn't fail to generate a pid. Therefore it also
doesn't set errstr. Hence the text in the man page describing that
could be removed unless I am overlooking something.

If the text is left in, it suggests that one has to implement error
handling code for a situation that can never arise, at least not on
9front.

See '/sys/src/9/port/proc.c:1772: pidadd(long pid)' for details.

Thanks cinap for clearing up my initial confusion.
