Hmmm, do things like : MALLOC() get documented and `approved' as the kernel interface for malloc : rather than malloc itself ? Not to mention things like bread, bwrite, which are useful for stacked device drivers. And just whatis the difference between bwrite and bdwrite anyway (I just checked the code, but it would be useful to know w/o doing this). Or are these interfaces too subject to change to document. I know that Solaris doesn't even document them... Warner
