:Hi All,
:
:When I'm browsing FreeBSD kernel headers I see a lot of wonderful functions
:which I would like to use in my device driver. How can I use those functions
:and be sure that my driver will remain functional in the next O/S versions?
:Which of them are "public:" and which "private:" ?
:
:Thank you,
:Stan

    Any of them can change, but I excpect it to settle down in a year or two.
