[Bug 488691] Re: sigaltstack man page error

[Angelo Borsotti]

Hello Jeremy,

the problem is still there in 10.04.
The documentation page:

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/en/man3/sigaltstack.3posix.html

is correct, but the man page (i.e. what is shown by entering the command
man sigaltstack) is not, and is different from the page at the url above.

I have no idea what other information I could provide for this bug since all
what is needed to see it is to enter the man sigaltstack command and read
the first line below DESCRIPTION:

   sigaltstack()  allows  a  process  to  define a new alternate ...

which is not correct because the stack is that of a thread, not that of a
process.
The url above instead mentions explicitly that the stack is that of the
current thread.
To remove the bug, the man page file for sigaltstack must be changed to make
it consistent with the url above.

Thank you
-Angelo Borsotti
