The first place to look for information is the gnu libc documentation from the glibcdoc. If you installed this package and the info package, just say info libc and you will find a very readable and extensive account of things you need to know for programming C in unix. For your particular question you would go to the "File System Interface" section. The advantage of this document is that things are discussed by subject, and not just per function. If you read this, you could extend your knowledge by reading the faq of comp.unix.programmer. If you read and understood all that, you could probably go to the comp.unix.programmer newsgroup and start answering questions there :) HTH, Eric -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null -- E.L.
