Continuing with syscalls, I would like to indicate you a modification I've done with regards to ioctl's. The thing is, I have had the need for ioctl's that return *file descriptors*, instead of standard return codes.
To distinguish them from the others, I have given them identifiers that are superior or equal to 0x80000000 (when unsigned, negative when signed). Of course, Linux will reject them, but that's fine, these are low-level OS-dependant ioctl's that aren't supposed to be compatible. Do you have any objection or remark regarding this? Thanks!
