In SUSv4, fdopen() uses "filedes" and openat() uses "fd", for example. Consistency throughout our manual pages is generally good. However, I also see the benefit of using the same expression as the specification even if it is inconsistent. What do you think? -- Hiroki ----Security_Multipart(Thu_Sep_12_20_36_12_2013_431)-- Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAlIxpywACgkQTyzT2CeTzy3M/wCcDMf3Q3x27Y5ZHUc++g1Q6NWf 6QUAn0Arm8IrFqddfCVW10I0R6WXoJaw =7nWS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----Security_Multipart(Thu_Sep_12_20_36_12_2013_431)----
