Hi, Simply put. The sysinit macro expands to a static structure using the "section" attribute which means the data ends up in a separate section after linking. Then the data in the sysinit section is scanned, sorted and executed at boot time or when you load a module. Sysuninit works in a similar way. --HPS _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
