            Bug ID: 69101
           Summary: EFAULT is missing from the man-page for open system
                    call [open(2)]
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/[email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
        Regression: No

Open can generate an EFAULT (errno = 14) if the const char* path is an invalid pointer (ie one that is not accessible). However, while the man-page lists numerous possible error codes open might generate, this one is missing.

--- Comment #1 from Michael Kerrisk <[email protected]> --- I think you've missed something. EFAULT is listed in open(1):
