Description Sumit Rai 2015-08-03 02:11:19 UTC
Description of problem: In manpage sched(7), in "DESCRIPTION" section description for below two functions seems to be swapped i.e. sched_get_priority_max(2) says "Return the minimum priority" and sched_get_priority_min(2) says "Return the maximum priority".

Quote from man 7 sched "DESCRIPTION" section 

"
       sched_get_priority_max(2)
              Return the minimum priority available in a specified scheduling policy.

       sched_get_priority_min(2)
              Return the maximum priority available in a specified scheduling policy.
"

Note: This bug is only found in "man 7 sched", the individual manpages for sched_get_priority_max(2)/sched_get_priority_min(2) gives the right description.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
man-pages-3.69-4.fc21.noarch

How reproducible: Very.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. On commandline, type "man 7 sched" w/o quotes.
2. Go to "DESCRIPTION" section and scroll down for the description for "sched_get_priority_max(2)/sched_get_priority_min(2)"
