But more to the point, why couldn't Cory find that info? Why didn't you point him to it?
I guess I misread his level of familiarity with the subject at hand. The fact that he was looking for the 'wchan command' didn't give me much faith in the fact that he knew what he was doing.
To further my theory, I've never run into a Linux dev who either doesn't have the appropriate man pages installed, or who isn't skilled enough with Google to find the required information on his own.
I'm not sure what distro Cory's using, but the 'man' set is pretty hard to *NOT* install, so I guess it just didn't cross my mind that he possibly didn't have it. He didn't mention trying to use the man pages for those functions on *any* OS/Distro, so I assumed that he was poking around and just wanted more info - hence my general outline of the subject, and the query "what are you trying to do?" - which BTW still hasn't been answered.
Oh, and I posted a few weeks ago about using Gentoo to make music. Linux distros make nice "toy OSes" ... I use OpenBSD for real work ;`}
