There's some RFC for it, but pretty much nobody implements CF-files in the exact way that is described in the RFC. I doubt it was ever described in any detail in the FreeBSD handbook, but it may have been in some of the books which have been written for the BSD's. You may have seen the comments I wrote up in one of the source files for lpr (common_source/ctlinfo.c): http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/usr.sbin/lpr/common_source/ctlinfo.c?rev=1.10.16.1;content-type=text%2Fplain Scan down for the comment: "Control-files (cf*) have the following format" That's probably not complete, but it's whatever I felt was worth noting when I wrote that source file. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = drosehn@rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@FreeBSD.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA
