I agree, having lockmgr.9 contain all the lockmgr related functions, and a cdevsw.9 would be nice. It keeps all the related material in one place so you can browse an API easily in one place. See atomic.9, kthread.9, mutex.9, etc. as examples of this. -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
