Are you talking about POSIX persistent queueing, of the type not implemented by the POSIX printing model, based on Palladium out of Project Athena? THat's more like a "Tuxedo" replacement, than anything else. It's not really comparable to kevent (IMO). If you meant something else, you might want to ask a clearer question (i.e. give the standards information for the "event standard" you are talking about; there are so many to choose from, e.g. queued signal delivery, etc.). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
