At least netbsd's daemon seems to call it before even closing the old tty: http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/xsrc/xfree/xc/programs/xdm/daemon.c The opengroup page for setsid() isn't very explicit. This one isn't much more either though, it seems most relevant things are "implementation specific" (why write specifications then...): http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009696699/basedefs/xbd_chap11.html François. _______________________________________________ Qemacs-devel mailing list Qemacs-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemacs-devel
