Look at the stuff I'm adding to the devinfo interface. : Simply enough, it just scans '/var/log/dmesg.today' for device info : from the last boot. The resulting data can obviously be browsed : in all sorts of useful ways. That's bogus. My /var/log/dmesg.today is full of crap saying that certain ports can't be connected to. : Would people feel that this is a useful endeavor? I'd be happy to : spearhead such an effort, but I don't want to waste my time if these : proposed conventions aren't carried forward. I'm not sure how useful it would be. Better to flesh out the location info and pnp info that I added an interface to, but haven't implemented on all busses yet. : Essentially, I need to treat the output of dmesg (WRT device probes) : as a database, and I want a schema for that database. That's a bad idea. devinfo(3) is made for this. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
