I've been looking at that for a revamp of procfs using sbufs. Basically, it'd be nice to be able to attach the sbuf to the file struct and abuse that as "local state". If people have ideas about session tracking, I'm all ears. It'd also help me implement some synthetic filesystems I'm having to do right now .. :) Adrian -- Adrian Chadd "Programming is like sex: <adrian@freebsd.org> One mistake and you have to support for a lifetime." -- rec.humor.funny To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
