Why do you still want to do that? We should, IMO, have front ends to most/all of our syscalls as utilities in our base system. This is one step closer to that goal. - Why did you think of this now? There is an open PR about it: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/11092 Opinions? If I don't get to many objections I intend to do this sometime next week. /Johan -- Johan Karlsson mailto:johan@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
