[ snip ] To me, it seems more sensible to use the same interface that ldconfig uses. I.e., kldpath /foo sets the entire path to /foo, and kldpath -m adds to the path, kldpath -r displays the current path, etc. That is just my opinion, however. I'll admit that ldconfig's interface is not always the most intuitive, but I think consistency between the two would be good. Also, I would leave -q on by default, and instead use a -v to turn on verbose mode. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-audit" in the body of the message
