Hmm. I don't know the details, but potentially there *would* be a more kosher way of doing what lsof wants. > Remember also that lsof is portable between MANY flavors of *nix. Only because the author goes to a lot of effort to make it so. There's special-case code for most kernels. In the case of FreeBSD, it would make sense to use documented interfaces where possible, and create them where they don't exist. Greg -- Sent from my desktop computer.
