Re: [PATCH] process_vm_{read,write}v(3): initial man pages

["Michael Kerrisk (man-pages)" <mtk.manpages@xxxxxxxxx>]

And another question about a different part of the page:

Is that last piece really true? On error, how does the syscall return
number of bytes read or written *and* set errno?

Cheers,
