Message178732
In fcntl module, the documentation states the following regarding the mutate_flag in ioctl method:
***
If it is false, the buffer’s mutability is ignored and behaviour is as for a read-only buffer, except that the 1024 byte limit mentioned above is avoided – so long as the buffer you pass is as least as long as what the operating system wants to put there, things should work.
***
However, looking at the code (fcntlmodule.c) it seems that the 1024 bytes limitation is avoided when the mutate_flag is set to True (the opposite of what is stated in the doc). |
