Bug ID: 216951
Summary: close_range(2) page missing; closefrom(2) needs
refreshing for glibc inclusion
Product: Documentation
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: man-pages
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Regression: No
This came up at
https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/pull/541#discussion_r1070724653.
man-pages currently doesn't document closefrom(2) at all, and is outdated wrt close_range(2) (it only covers the kernel uapi interface, not the fact it's in glibc & the relevant headers - in since glibc 2.34.).

I would appreciate a patch from someone experienced in these APIs to the mailing list, according to ./CONTRIBUTING. Maybe you can summon someone by CCing in the mailing list?

Shouldn't it be closefrom(3)? There's no closefrom syscall — Glibc implements it using close_range (if available).
