Bug ID: 219335
Summary: Wrong in the write text
Product: Documentation
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: man-pages
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Regression: No

For /usr/share/man/man3/sem_post.3.gz

In the line:

EOVERFLOW: The maximum allowable value for a semaphore would be exceeded.

Must change to:

EOVERFLOW: The value exceeded SEM_VALUE_MAX limit.

The text in the help must be as illuminating as possible and avoid confusion about its real limit, one cannot inquire, assume or guess what the maximum allowed value is. And much less waste time with trials and errors in testcase to know its real limit.
