Hi! Today I noticed that on Single Unix Specification V2, as well as on the Linux 2.4.26 machine I have here, that the open() call promises to return the lowest unused file descriptor when successful. I'm just wondering: does FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x promise that? If so, should we update the manpage to match SUSv2 more closely? Thank you! - Carl _________________________________________________________________ Don’t just search. Find. Check out the new MSN Search! http://search.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200636ave/direct/01/
