Subject: [PATCH] library: Fix off-by-one error in procps_pid_length
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Section "pid_max" in Linux admin-guide/sysctl/kernel.rst says:
| PID allocation wrap value. When the kernel's next PID value
| reaches this value, it wraps back to a minimum PID value.
| PIDs of value "pid_max" or larger are not allocated.
In particular, when pid_max == 10**N exactly, then the largest
possible PID is 10**N - 1, i.e. the length is N.
