Hi, [ This is a repost of a mail I've sent to tech-k...@netbsd.org, I forgot to Cc: kernel@ ]
While learning how to use proplib, I've found an inconsistency between the documentation and the actual kernel implementations: the manual page for prop_array_send_syscall, prop_array_recv_syscall, prop_dictionary_send_syscall and prop_dictionary_recv_syscall says these functions return true if successful The kernel implementations are different for prop_array_recv_syscall() and prop_dictionary_recv_syscall, they return 0 if there's no error: http://nxr.netbsd.org/source/xref/src/common/lib/libprop/prop_kern.c#227 Since DragonFly's proplib implementation comes from NetBSD, I figured it would be best to ask here what to do: fix the documentation or fix the implementation ? Just replacing return (_prop_object_internalize_from_pref(blah)); by return (_prop_object_internalize_from_pref(blah) == 0); in prop_kern.c should be enough to fix it, but I'm not sure if this is the better idea in the long run ... -- Francois Tigeot
