I don't think so. :) It would become a chicken-and-egg problem then... protoize and unprotoize use the undocumented -aux-info switch of gcc in order to obtain the function prototype information from the compiler parser. ``An undocumented feature is a bug.'' :) (Forgot the source, though.) > > % man 1 unprotoize > > No entry for unprotoize in section 1 of the manual > > FreeBSD obviously doesn't need unprotoize 8) ...nor have there ever been man pages for protoize and unprotoize available. If the usage information doesn't get you on the way, it's UTSLware. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
