I was looking at the man page for opendir, and currently there isn't a way to open a dir from a file descriptor... would this be a useful addition to the opendir set of routines? or would this be a "wart" on something that really shouldn't be touched? the reason I ask is because of a program that I'm writing, and I don't feel like having to pass the path to a subfunction, but I am passing an open fd of the dir... thanks for the input... ttyl.. -- John-Mark Cu Networking Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
