Just like some library, the kernel provides a bunch of functions (via syscall linkage) to be called by glibc (and applications) using kernel defined data structures, parameter lists, etc. Not that hard to grok, stupid. Shows how little you know about what linking means. When Linux runs, or when glibc runs, they don't even share the same memory map; it is a fork/exec like dance. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
