They are indeed implemented, they just don't do a lot right now. ct_ctl_qack and ct_ctl_newct do nothing for process contracts because synchronous departure from a process contracts doesn't make sense. It is a bug that ct_ctl_newct returns success for process contracts; it should return ENOTSUP or ESRCH. ct_ctl_qack and ct_ctl_newct return errors for device contracts because they weren't strictly necessary for the initial implementation and it was decided during design review that the functionality could be deferred to a later point in time. It is a bug that the device_contract man page explicitly states ct_ctl_newct works with device contracts. Dave
