You could. However, since the Linux man page says it will return EINVAL if the "flags" argument is non-zero, you've still introduced an incompatibility w.r.t. the Linux behaviour. It does make it clear that copy_file_range(2) will have the non-Linux behaviour when the flag is specified, which I think is a good idea. rick _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
