Description Matthew Booth 2006-03-28 09:45:03 UTC

Description of problem:

read(2) can return the error ERESTARTSYS if the read is interrupted by a trace,
eg strace or attaching gdb. ERESTARTSYS is mentioned in the man page for
accept(2) in this context, but not for read(2). I believe wait4(2) can also
return ERESTARTSYS.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

man-pages-1.67-7.EL4.noarch

Comment 8 Arenas Belon, Carlo Marcelo 2010-04-23 08:06:34 UTC

read(2) in F13 (man-pages-3.23-6) still doesn't show a reference to ERESTARTSYS, so this patch was probably not upstreamed and therefore still affects other versions of RHEL and Fedora.
