"info mtree" falls into the same category as "info qtree" or "device_show": they expose useful but unstable internal structures. But they also only exist for the human monitor, so their output is not an ABI by our definition. Jan -- Siemens AG, Corporate Technology, CT T DE IT 1 Corporate Competence Center Embedded Linux
