Re: Kernel APIs - Solaris
Hi. Thanks for your response. As I mentioned in my post, we're looking for the Kernel API specs. We don't need the source, just the (credible, authoritive) info on Kernel functions and their return values. We have to do this legally, but are having tons of trouble trying to find the right people at Sun. If we wait another 10-12 months, maybe we'll get it through the Community license, but we're not holding our breath. Any ideas, leads? On Thu, 14 Oct 1999, Matthew Jacob wrote: Talk to me.

Sun has many levels of API commitment from the "gotta have it won't change" to the "put in on the whim of a developer to make some system utility easier to code, but will be gutted if the wind changes". The former are documented well in the man pages for man(2), while the latter are generally undocumented.
