        portability with other *BSD projects (NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, MacOSX
        maybe).

>BSD4.4 certainly didn't have varargs there....

        4.4BSD did not have prototype in protosw.h, there's no varargs either.
        freebsd added prototype on its own, and thus change/broke some of the
        existing xx{in,out}put prototypes.  netbsd/openbsd added varargs, to
        keep existing practices in 4.4BSD.
        see it for yourself.
