If you're picking up code from NetBSD or OpenBSD, then you certainly do not need to add __P()'s to it. FreeBSD developers have repeatedly decided that we should also move to ANSI instead of K&R, even though there are a few holdouts who seem to believe that no such agreement has been reached. One justification for *keeping* __P()'s is to be compatible with source from the other BSD's, and in this case even that argument would say that __P()'s should not be added. [this is just a minor comment on your changes though, obviously it's good that you're trying to chip away at the list of programs we want to update to the latest standards!] -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-standards" in the body of the message
