I think alternative b) - three new syscalls, sounds better. The only negatives so far are that it adds more syscalls and that it might require code duplication with posix timers. The syscall numbers argument seemed not to be very important and the code duplication should be fixable by refactoring the code so that more is shared between the two systems (I assume). Overloading file descriptors with flags looks ugly, is there any other syscall which does that? -- David Härdeman (sorry Thomas for the dupe, I missed replying to all on the first msg). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
