I have a good chunk of code to port and no doubt I will have numerous questions about FreeBSD specific features like semaphores, posix compliance, shared memory and so on. For shared memory, look at /usr/include/sys/shm.h. For semaphores, see /usr/include/sys/sem.h. There is a lot of documentation available on the FreeBSD website; http://www.freebsd.org/docs/books.html In your case, the Developers' Handbook might come in handy. It is also available on the system btw, in /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1 Actually my current issue is the glibc i386 backtrace function from execinfo.h. It's not a show stopper if I can't have it but I would very much like to have it even if it means writing custom code to walk the stack myself. I think that the glib library has this. It turns up a backtrace.h on my system. There is no execinfo.h file on my system. Any ideas? Googling doesn't seem to turn up anything which is to say I guess FreeBSD doesn't have a backtrace function. A quick search of the base system doesn't turn anything up. But debuggers like gdb work, so there has to be a way to do it. Actually does FreeBSD use glibc? Nope.

Developer Questions (glibc i386 style backtraces)

Mike FreeBSD is actually based off of libc, which is a completely different set of sources from glibc. I don't have any resources and I don't know right offhand whether or not libc has a backtrace function. You may want to ask this on the hackers@ list.
