Or maybe explain that the number of events can be queried via some alternate means. The kqueue manpage does not seem to explicitly state how to just poll the number of pending events. There are plenty of userland/kernel races and it's ok to have them. Maybe just fix the manpage? But removing the functionality behind stat will surely break apps that depended on it. -- - Alfred Perlstein - email: bright@mu.org cell: 408-480-4684
