Precisely. Seems like an RFE is warranted to allow the system call names in our manpages to be used. This would eliminate both (a) the current surprise and confusion, and (b) the dependency on the system call implementation details (which are inherently unstable). Another nice side effect would be that the stability level of the probe could match the stability level given in the section two manpage. -- meem _______________________________________________ dtrace-discuss mailing list dtrace-discuss@opensolaris.org
