Hi, I was adding support for an environment variable which specifies an alternate /etc/services file for getservent() et al when I noticed that netdb.h exports a private interface used internally in libc: /* * PRIVATE functions specific to the FreeBSD implementation */ /* DO NOT USE THESE, THEY ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND ARE NOT PORTABLE!!! */ void _sethosthtent __P((int)); void _endhosthtent __P((void)); void _sethostdnsent __P((int)); [snip] Surely it would be much better if these were either protected by a _NETDB_INTERNAL_ macro or moved into a separate header in lib/libc/net. Which of these two is preferable? Regards, Niall To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
