That's not always true, particularly for kernel-virtual things like this. /proc/<pid> directories are created with fork() and removed with waitpid() Various other things in /proc are created via modprove and removed via rmmod The point is that we're not actually creating a directory, we're creating a resource group, whose userspace API is made through the directory abstraction. So maybe it's not so bad if we don't actually use mkdir to create it. Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
