Yes it is there is a clear distinction in the OpenSolaris interface taxonomy between interfaces that are some form of private (Project/Consolidation Private) versus public (Committed/Uncommited/Volatile). When I say publically documented I mean API use documentation with a non private interface taxonomy. This has NOTHING what so ever to do with wither or not the source is visible. Private != Secret. The distinction is about what commitment level and what type of change in a given type of release is given to an interface. For more info see the attributes(5) man page on a Solaris system and the Interface Taxonomy document in the OpenSolaris ARC community: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/policies/interface-taxonomy/ -- Darren J Moffat _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
