This > may be a bug in the standard. I think the answer is that it is possible for the implementation to declare those interfaces by using another type known by the implementation to be equivalent to ssize_t. It probably is a bug in the standard that the type itself is not required to be defined there, but it is perhaps not a formal defect. You might consider filing an Aardvark about it. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
