Ok, I'va got a little question here. In the structure getdirentries_args, there seems to be duplicated fields that I'm not entirely sure what they do. Here's the definition of a structure verbatim from sys/sysproto.h:
struct getdirentries_args { char fd_l_[PADL_(int)]; int fd; char fd_r_[PADR_(int)]; char buf_l_[PADL_(char *)]; char * buf; char buf_r_[PADR_(char *)]; char count_l_[PADL_(u_int)]; u_int count; char count_r_[PADR_(u_int)]; char basep_l_[PADL_(long *)]; long * basep; char basep_r_[PADR_(long *)]; }; Now my question is what does the l and r variables do? It seems that they do something with padding the data based on the endian of the machine? I look through this header file, and I see all the structures have similar constructs. Is it something that can be safely ignored? -- Daniel Rudy _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
