Posix specifies that st_size for non-regular files is "unspecified", however it doesn't specify st_blksize at all. In the "spirit" of POSIX I'd say st_blksize is free to be anything we want it to be, and non-0 for VCHR is certainly a reasonable value of anything. -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \ FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! / green@FreeBSD.org `------------------------------' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
