Oh... I don't think that's a very good interface. I don't think people expect character special files to pay attention to offsets, especially not in a magic way. It's probably better to just use read/write for IO and ioctl for control stuff. - R. _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
