I'd say I only changed the formatting of the information, but the manual
page already claimed you should include both <sys/prctl.h> and
<linux/prctl.h>; it just dit it in a weird way.
So, should we consider <sys/prctl.h> to be the provider of PR_*
constants? I'd be happy to update the manual page, but libc maintainers
should state what is the official header for the PR_* constants.
Have a lovely day!
Alex
