The one with "o" is "old". At some point the structure has been extended, and the old version got "o" added to its name. It's probably used for binary compatibility of the old programs, to convert the data between the old and new format. -SB _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
