Hello.
Recently I started looking into kqueue(2), and to get to know the interface better I attempted to turn usr.sbin/moused into a kqueue program (replacing the main select() loop that reads the mouse device). Now I thought I understood the interface, I requested a kqueue, but as soon as I add an event for monitoring I get an 'Operation not permitted' error. Does anyone know if this is caused because kqueue() only supports FFS? The mouse device is on devfs (I'm running -CURRENT, btw). I've got one more question, actually a fact that surprises me, it seems that tail(1) is the only place in the base system that actually uses kqueue. Is there a reason for this? I read in most places kqueue() is more efficient, scalable, etc. I'm sure code like ftpd or other services would benefit. (And i'm sure Apache could use it too). michel (I'm having some problems with my news reader software, or rather the news posting software, so similar messages may appear).
