What do you think? >=20 > -- Hiroki >=20 I did notice that 'filedes' was referenced in some specs, but it's very weird to open multiple manpages and expect 'fd' and find 'd' and rework my brain to understand that 'd' or 'filedes' is just a 'fd'. Takes a second of thinking. It was "surprising" to me when I noticed it, especially given how many used 'fd'. --=20 Regards, Bryan Drewery --pFAQXViDLLbN0OcEm32lMLaOSwXQrneB2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJSMaheAAoJEG54KsA8mwz5UBIP/3YpaLiXokF1ulw0e8ABT32A RQ5tCf7Shr9R+ZkswKI7w+oIYM1tIX7p9N1/YWz6iUQdc+45WKzYIyFuB9GS2IJO x3AmKaBVL2BXjthAFaSDPzEi1PZVzJn6Xnzy2VfyUFVT/eaHtPLVuIyqB08hhhP3 zrSXc+BtVXFFBAplA8+pBzzFrywOX+B2XFldp7z6WTCV029gP0YTqgIfs/eQlIRR ZhSLi+iYDKkdAEyZAmrE8k2z2uCsRDCQdpBaIp+ir7XvME4LWI1T/GZvDkLU+uyP U9k2H7DNAvCAEwnOBOFTk08gNZpZS0fhMO5jfsYqFh8K7/8oXP8jIMh8lujKKCK2 3x0phkCKlHjYonPBo6N/JIbukwZnQse6JYe2FTaC8CH2iz6kVfYN2wUL66VdtI5W dPv3YQne4ZaZmtARypPQi64bmtQJqKh0Cq1R/Q0oyVSi1ujlpc5NH9qQd1ZP7vYu er6pwFq68JspZbr7zgAIwsPWuS+gy+4mBexhsC8ikKAA6zyvnTtjNo67rFGHYTu/ NMrvpOi3HuzIPLlxhfkURHYg5N6eehG7WjR8ttmidGICuCt5H/DJuLtATObOPaz1 tW1dP8u5VU1wkf2k9ODnQEl2BHdSzkJxPPL49d8j4zSKU91DAcMyMI1ILsoAkoAq kR84tNiVEXicRZxBnAie =IEXp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --pFAQXViDLLbN0OcEm32lMLaOSwXQrneB2--
