Quoting Casper at: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=31708&tstart=0 " ... Not until it's clear there is a consensus about the functions. Some of these had already been added in Solaris 2.6, I think, where they originate. For now we have: fchownat fstatat futimesat unlinkat openat __accessat (which was added waiting for the final POSIX standard) renameat These functions are relatively straightforward to implement in the kernel and it is probably best to implement what is missing as private functions until the standard has gravitated toward consensus. There's some discussion about the 'f' argument." ___________________________________ L'email della prossima generazione? Puoi averla con la nuova Yahoo! Mail: http://it.docs.yahoo.com/nowyoucan.html
