From 2faeeff4c9bb77cca44a977d96c1a9fc7af8d8a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ruslan Ermilov Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2002 09:22:32 +0000 Subject: mdoc(7) police: Tidy up the syscall language. Stop calling system calls "function calls". Use "The .Fn system call" a-la "The .Nm utility". When referring to a non-BSD implementation in the HISTORY section, call syscall a function, to be safe. --- lib/libc/sys/getuid.2 | 14 +++++++------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) (limited to 'lib/libc/sys/getuid.2') diff --git a/lib/libc/sys/getuid.2 b/lib/libc/sys/getuid.2 index e352adf48adf..3e32fb0a8e2a 100644 --- a/lib/libc/sys/getuid.2 +++ b/lib/libc/sys/getuid.2 @@ -51,10 +51,10 @@ .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn getuid -function returns the real user ID of the calling process. +system call returns the real user ID of the calling process.
