Note, the use of __P is discouraged in new code. From style(9): Only use the __P macro from the include file <sys/cdefs.h> if the source file in general is (to be) compilable with a K&R Old testament compiler. Use of the __P macro in new code is discouraged, although modifications to existing files should be consistent with that file's conventions. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D.
