Well, *I'd* be interested in what I write here too ;-). I was kind of adding this as a hook into #2, and also because SCO has something similar. This should really go into /usr/share/man somewhere, and be analogous to man2, but I don't know where the proper place is. I was also kind of hoping that someone more familiar with the kernel, (i.e. has written some of it, not just run tags/grep/... on the source) could help here. > > Cheers, > Karl > > -- > ------------------------------------------+----------------------------------- > Mailed using ELM on FreeBSD | Karl Strickland > PGP 2.3a Public Key Available. | Internet: karl@bagpuss.demon.co.uk > | > -- erich@lodgenet.com erich@rrnet.com
