BSD supports funopen() which allows the user to create handles for arbitrary stream types. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=funopen > Shell Style word expansion > (Eg:wordexp,wordfree) > glibc: Supported > BSD libc: Not Supported. wordexp/wordfree are in 5.0, so they will probably be backported to 4.* at some point. > 23. > System database and name service switch(NSS) > glibc: Supported > BSD libc: NSS not supported.Incompatible shadow and password support and > ancient utmp. > (Problem Solved by writing a library libshadow) User applications should not need to know about FreeBSD's shadow password style, so that shouldn't really matter. > 25. > System Information > glibc: Supported > BSD libc: utsname() not Supported. uname() is the correct function name (the data is returned in a struct utsname), and BSD supports it. > 27. > Large file support > (fseeko64,ftello64) > glibc: Supported > BSD libc: Not Supported. BSD has supported large files far longer than Linux has. fseeko and ftello are the functions you should use. fseeko64 is sort of redundant :) -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
