? Can you please quote chapter and verse (in POSIX) where it states that ENOTSUP and EOPNOTSUP have to be numerically distinct? If you are reading Unix 98 you might be able to make a claim that there is an implication that they be assigned unique error numbers, but it's at best an implication, not an explicitly specified requirement in any of the standards documents that I'm aware of. To folks who are participating in the committee doing work on the upcoming POSIX revisions (which might make this a requirement to be imposed on us in a year or two) --- will that likely impose such a requirement? In that case we might want to start thinking about separating the two, but it really is a question of is the benefits are worth the effort. - Ted - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
