As the cvs history will tell you, it is a set of routines for building and parsing mbuf chains. It is useful for processing requests and replies in vaguely RPC-like protocols, and it's in the tree because nwfs and smbfs use it (I think it was made an optional component to avoid the small extra bloat in kernels that don't use these). The NFS code could probably also benefit from using it. Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
