That's the X/Op^H^H^H^HPOSIX Way. Oh. I've never seen that stated in my reading of the standard or rationale (and couldn't find it stated in my on-line copy). I did, however, find it also defined in <unistd.h>, <monetary.h>, <sys/msg.h>, <sys/uio.h> (which I missed earlier), which invalidates my argument, supports Mike's statement, and answers my question. However, ssize_t is _not_ defined in <aio.h>, <mqueue.h>, <sys/socket.h>, where it is also used, though each of these headers _may_ (not _shall_) make ssize_t visible as defined in <sys/types.h> and/or <sys/uio.h>. This may be a bug in the standard. Cheers, Mark. -- Mark Valentine, Thuvia Labs <mark@thuvia.co.uk> <http://www.thuvia.co.uk>; "Tigers will do ANYTHING for a tuna fish sandwich."
