Here's a quick question that arose in #unix yesterday. Why does FreeBSD have a bi-directional pipe() call when socketpair() does exactly this? What benefits does making pipe() bi as well have? Doesn't this break POSIX and introduce a new generation of Berkeleyisms? -- ________________ _______________________________ / Nathan Dorfman V PGP: finger nathan@rtfm.net / / nathan@rtfm.net | http://www.rtfm.net /
