Applications which include <sys/user.h>, or any other non-standard header file, should expect that any conceivable symbol might be used therein. FreeBSD makes no guarantees as to the namespace used by non-standard interfaces. (We don't want to be like certain other environments where every symbol that might conceivably be accessible to an application is obfuscated with multiple underscores.) -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
