New Revision: 264136
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/264136

Log:
  Correct return type of pdfork(2).
  
  The pdfork(2) man page states:
  
  	"pdfork() returns a PID, 0 or -1, as fork(2) does."
  
  As it returns a PID, the return type should obviously be pid_t. As int
  and pid_t have the same size on all architectures, this change does not
  affect the ABI in any way.
