Bug#281863: glibc-doc: sbrk returns 'void *' and not 'int'
Package: glibc-doc
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-18
Severity: normal
file:///usr/share/doc/glibc-doc/html/libc_3.html#SEC59
libc.info(Resizing the Data Segment) (I hope that is the correct way to
refer to a node in an info file).
This section claims that the prototype for the sbrk function is:
int sbrk (ptrdiff_t delta)
In fact, the header declares it as:
extern void *sbrk (intptr_t __delta) __THROW;
Particularly the return type should be fixed.
