Actually, I ran into a situation on MacOS X the other day that had a system call with a -1 return code with an errno == 0. I would personally like to distinguish this case, if only for the purpose of catching kernel errors. Saying "Success" when in fact the system call is returning -1 is a bogus thing to do. -- Terry _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
