The namecache is intended to have no visibility from userland. The fact that lsof (with the aid of libkvm) abuses it doesn't change this fact. The lsof functionality should in my opinion be added to the system, and the necessary hooks should be added to the kernel using sysctl. As a short term fix, you can remove the "static", but take this as a first warning: the namecache implementation is NOT an API. -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
