From 902795e9a894bd6d5836c0e473bdafe5669a7dc1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Safranek Date: Tue, 22 Dec 2009 09:16:48 +0100 Subject: Fix reading of empty parameter values When a group parameter has empty value (like uninitialized cpuset.cpus), libcgroup does not return this parameter value - it returns ECGROUPVALUENOTEXIST instead. I think reading whole parameter file instead of just '%s' is the right thing to do - it helps also with multiline values, like cpuacct.stat.
