    manual: Document lack of conformance of sched_* functions [BZ #14829]

    not processes.

Comment 2 Carlos O'Donell 2019-11-25 16:10:02 UTC 
The Platform Tools glibc team has reviewed this bug and decided not to fix this in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. Future versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux will have this fix inherited from upstream glibc.
