From 2cd19a510a4a457513fdea91b01dbd9c69dc6250 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jilles Tjoelker Date: Sun, 21 Apr 2013 19:42:04 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] dup(2): Remove incorrect sentence about getdtablesize(). There are no getdtablesize() bounds on the file descriptor to be duplicated; it only has to be open. If the RLIMIT_NOFILE rlimit was decreased after opening the file descriptor, it may be greater than or equal to getdtablesize() but still valid.
