Re: Tuning up semaphores in kernel

SEMMNI is the number of semaphore ids, i.e., the number of times you can call 'semget()' without deleting any semaphores. SEMMNS is the actual number of semaphores in the system, which should be = SEMMNI. Of course, you can ask 'semget()' to give you up to SEMMSL semaphores on each call, so

Greetings ! I have a question, I need to write a small program that sets the default gw. It is written in C and I have looked at several way to do it. One way is using ioctl but that way seems a little "old" and not very well documented. Here is a simple snippet of my code, now when I run it I

Proposal for CD reorganisation for 4.0

2000-02-13 Thread Jeremy Lea
Hi, I was thinking (I know, I know, I shouldn't do that, it's bad for me ;)... Since we now have 3000+ ports, what are the chances of getting a special "FreeBSD Ports Distfiles" CD-ROM subscription set, which would just contain the distfiles? Since this set would be fairly low maintainance

Hello, I have a problem with shared libraries that need a shared library by themselves (FreeBSD-3.4-STABLE): imagine a shared library `libfoo.so'. This library depends on the X11 lib and therefore has a `libX11.so.6' NEEDED entry. On this system `libX11.so.6' was installed into '/vol/X11/lib',
