I don't know what hw.machine_arch is > for, and don't recall seeing it before now. :-) It was committed 3 years ago (kern_mib.c -r1.16). The commit log doesn't say much, but there may have been a discussion on one of the mailinglists. I can only speculate ATM, but the only logical explanation I can think of is that hw.machine would then mean processor type (class) (ie i486, i586, ev4, ev5 etc), in the same way as CPU_TYPE. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
