It's not used by device drivers, only in fork1(), exec(), and exit1(). Thus, the same set of people who would be using these functions would already need to be fairly intimate with the code. An example of a more widely used API that needs a manpage are the EVENTHANDLER() macros. If you want a longer list of useful but MIA section 9 manpages, I'm sure bde@ can be of assistance -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/
