[-- Attachment #1 --] hi, I was going to write this alittle over a year ago, now, but I got lazy^H^H^H^Hsidetracked. I really think that this should be coupled along with a few other of the functions from src/sys/kern/subr_prf.c since they all are very closely related (besides the log() functions). Nevertheless, attached is the uprintf.9 man page.. I kind of just hacked it up, so complete modification is welcome :-) A copy can also be found at www.watson.org/~arr/fbsd-stuff/ Andrew *-------------................................................. | Andrew R.

The call will block for a short period of time if the tty queue is full, but will return without printing the message if the queue is still full at the end of the allotted time. .Pp The call works under the control of the format string supplied as the first argument to the function in the same manner that the libc .Fn printf calls work. .Pp .El .Sh RETURN VALUES The .Nm function returns 0 on success as well as on failure.
