Exactly why I don't subscribe to -current. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sem_open&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=SunOS+5.7&format=html The name argument points to a string naming a semaphore object. It is unspecified whether the name appears in the file system and is visible to functions that take path- names as arguments. The name argument conforms to the con- struction rules for a pathname. The first character of name must be a slash (/) character and the remaining characters of name cannot include any slash characters. For maximum portability, name should include no more than 14 characters, but this limit is not enforced. -- -Alfred Perlstein [alfred@freebsd.org] 'Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.'
