You may have seen API as well - short for Application Programming Interface. This generally/usually is relevant to programs talking to other programs. In FreeBSD, if changes to the ABI are deemed necessary, this will generally serve as a demarcation point between one major version revision and the next one coming along, e.g 7.x, 8.x, 9.x, and so on. -Mike _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
