The current "hard to find" function is VOP_READ. I can't find it defined anywhere under /usr/src/sys. It'd be great if the man pages for kernel functions (chapter 9) had something like: DEFINITION Found in /sys/kern/vnode_pager.c for example. It doesn't need a line number, that'd be too much to keep track of. Just something so we can find where these functions live, though. The same goes for the other library functions, but that'd be a lot more work. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
