Of course, what I'm leading up to is an extended version of the stat() interface that returns ACLs, MAC labels, capabilities, and any other ``extended attributes'' (in the general sense) that pertain to the file, so that applications like mtree(8), cp(1), and even ls(1) can get all the information they need in one fell swoop (and a single system call) rather than having to explicitly check for every possible sort of attribute. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
