The branch main has been updated by olce: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=c36a44e1cdab1c67a98132676818f473cc4e5c03 commit c36a44e1cdab1c67a98132676818f473cc4e5c03 Author: Olivier Certner <olce@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2025-10-09 14:04:44 +0000 Commit: Olivier Certner <olce@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2025-10-09 14:12:24 +0000 initgroups.3: Clarify that ENOMEM is a possible value for 'errno' The current phrasing could be interpreted as meaning that initgroups(3) could return ENOMEM instead of -1, which it actually did until I fixed it in commit 0b018cfd81d8 ("initgroups(3): Fix return value on allocation failure"). While here, mention setgroups(2) as a system call rather than a library function.
