This is the kind of API that would be nice to have in the kernel (mentioned in a previous thread a month or two ago) because of the automated handling of race conditions. Also, IMHO the structs(3) library would be a nice way to pass data between user <--> kernel (it compiles fine in the kernel). It could easily replace the ng_parse, sysctl, etc. > This looks like it's desiged to produce embedded web-servers for > controlling (say) a network appliance...:-) The demo web server is the next port to commit ... :-) -Archie __________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Packet Design * http://www.packetdesign.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
