It's easier to introduce namespace pollution than it is to get rid of it afterwards. If the function is called posix_fadvise(), people should just use that. People are constantly complaining about `Linuxisms' when they want to port software to FreeBSD. The word `BSDism' should remain an euphemism. ;-) --=20 Ed Schouten <ed@80386.nl> WWW: http://80386.nl/ --S0GG+JvAI2G0KxBG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJOrvEfAAoJEG5e2P40kaK7srUP/0vFMJBvCKeqC1yP1XrDUgzH G//JCszA2amqaC5wJbrOBTVLfpLPcXKb5+VX7B9dK/hoTcAQ87kp9Osz73whr90+ Vbcxkd+ejpIFCWjdfeo3+t6sI/LuFzW/zDKaaKSMvox9Wpt0Aq9T451SVH9+XM0/ S4IPbM0sXamStUzbC/PpI5165dxQJI+k8NYDic0rDDyr2FOR9X8STFIObvFQwNgL PEz/K/XmiPyNSVVXkQYM0rmOXml9gcS+gKgEZbhLNcQ778tpzUkx1fx5Is99Rgwj JBG8GUludUh+t1gnbpmSrtu0yC1IXzAptc38SwsHGURS0fOtORiOLjabJ/SVpR1i j+J9LXFr9QCR77VPiMrCiS0BhzrTpJabQND8rhvNGg3h191DejuhRMK0VLDqGMJp NgyG58oBeh1+eUS0VHgWi8P/k1EnJlZ+bp7mOndPNDmIbdr3QLc9nonli3X71Pku K9cLf8h2UHHj28pcaOXlrgCYkdVhGHMamUriky10HXtw1+50liPbG2oFMjwCAaa7 yeqkbbxmBnn9SlJouI3LQWc8yfBGFghy+oPQ2MXCne2CI+9LWrke7fAUYhEeHOte 6qUpLTrotDFB6eR3cXzjdSS3rOwQxh5SNEbcgnv8oXhL2ATIOv5OyKuerTBksBZH cnNVlN+WyjszY5r6zocl =1QiN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --S0GG+JvAI2G0KxBG--
