I don't have access to the POSIX specification - so I can't check. But single unix (a superset of POSIX) includes sys/socket.h: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xnsix.html Also, there is a lot of source code out there (I know at least two examples from KDE sources) where they are including <sys/socket.h> and doing -D_POSIX_SOURCE. Both Solaris and Linux handle the above situation correctly. Are there any significant reasons why FreeBSD can't have the same behavior ? Or are you applying the "don't fix it if it isn't broken" principle ? -Arun To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
