If someone could suggest a method for grabbing a unique st_dev entry for all pipes in the system, then we could use the pipe's address in memory for the st_ino field. So how do I reserve a dev for the pipe code? -- -Alfred Perlstein [alfred@freebsd.org] 'Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.'
