IMO it would be better to follow the design of the POSIX realtime signals (SIGRT*) - they use functions to determinate the minimum/maxmimum signal values instead of using fixed ones... ... the same could be done here: Add a new system _tuneable_ which defines the lower/upper bounds for the minor numbers (with a guranteed amount of "upper-lower > minimum"). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.ma...@nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
