I guess that is what I am asking... What is different between the following:
int foo(void){
return 0;
}
and
int foo_prime(void) {
return foo();
}
That is my interpretation of the code. It would *seem* to just pass the
call off to the next FS layer as if the VFS system of the kernel had done it
directly.... Conceptually I must be missing something.
