- *    DESCRIPTION
- *	This is a Phase I test for the prctl(2) system call.
- *	It is intended to provide a limited exposure of the system call.
- *
- * 	Setup:
- * 	  Setup signal handling.
- *	  Pause for SIGUSR1 if option specified.
- *
- * 	Test:
- *	 Loop if the proper options are given.
- *	 fork a child
- *
- *	 CHILD:
- *		call prctl() with proper arguments
- *		If call succeeds,
- *			exit with 0
- *		else
- *			exit with 1
- *	 PARENT:
- *		wait() for child.
- *		If child exits with exit value 0,
- *			Test passed
- *		else
- *			Test Failed
- *
- * 	Cleanup:
- * 	  Print errno log and/or timing stats if options given
- *
- * USAGE:  <for command-line>
- *  prctl01 [-c n] [-e] [-i n] [-I x] [-P x] [-t] [-h] [-f] [-p]
- *			where,  -c n : Run n copies concurrently.
- *				-e   : Turn on errno logging.
- *				-h   : Show help screen
- *				-f   : Turn off functional testing
- *				-i n : Execute test n times.
- *				-I x : Execute test for x seconds.
- *				-p   : Pause for SIGUSR1 before starting
- *				-P x : Pause for x seconds between iterations.
- *				-t   : Turn on syscall timing.
