The man page for open(2) says it can look at existing files as well as make new ones. I'm probably missing something crucial and should thus yield the floor to those knowledgeable at such things. The only other thing I can suggest is to look at the man pages for devfs(8), the utility that helps control the system, and for devfs(5) itself. -BB _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
