Research if it is standarised, and doable on a syscall level. If not it can only go to unit libc (but that is Michael's terrain), which is Linux/i386 specific. > Do I have to fiddle with what's called "assembler aliasing" in any way > or do I declare as "external libc"? > How do I find the right unit or include file to stick it in? > > I'm talking about the function "readdir_r" existing at least on bsd's > and on newer linux. *dir functions are special. These are (3) functions and are done by an own probably not 100% compat implementation in syscall ports. Why would you want to do this? _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
