From bf105e38d5715cc10f9619c5385a16898d568527 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Jenkins Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2018 03:02:50 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] man: sd_journal_stream_fd: no, fds are not shared (#7926) sd_journal_stream_fd() does not return the same file descriptor across different calls. It can't possibly do so, because the file descriptor is created using certain parameters passed by the caller. Also the implementation clearly isn't doing this, it's just connecting to a unix socket. It opens exactly one file descriptor, and does not close it unless there is a write failure. Nothing like "temporarily multiple file descriptors may be open". --- man/sd_journal_stream_fd.xml | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/man/sd_journal_stream_fd.xml b/man/sd_journal_stream_fd.xml index 29d64f9..89ad8f5 100644 --- a/man/sd_journal_stream_fd.xml +++ b/man/sd_journal_stream_fd.xml @@ -107,8 +107,7 @@ Notes Function sd_journal_stream_fd() is thread-safe and may be called - from multiple threads.
