(Note that evGetNext() has both polling and blocking modes.) Looks like the same idea but much more complete (and probably faster, better tested, etc..) I'd love to break this out into it's own library in src/lib. I think lots of people would find it useful. What kind of backlash could I expect? :-) The other libraries look interesting too: "heap", "tree", "logging", etc. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
