Congrats; you can do that already. > I want to load up an LKM and don't patch all over the src. Then you can include a set of functions/defines/whatever that provides those interfaces for you in your LKM #if defined(__OpenBSD__) <what you need goes here> #endif To answer a question you asked in an off-list email: yes, there's been some bitching between devs about how bad a set of functions exist for mbuf manipulation. But there's been nothing concrete, AFAIK, so the interface you're talking about hasn't really been considered for inclusion, nor do we really know the direction that any future mbuf API should go. So, long answer short: it's not included because it's not included. > > Last I checked, OpenBSD lacked what I needed(OSX does not), so this > is why I'm asking. > I'm asking a clear interface to work with. > > > But I suspect you don't even know what you're asking for. > Don't ever talk to me like that, before you done your research. > > //maxim > > On 31 jul 2009, at 23.10, Chris Cappuccio wrote: > > >So, what are you asking for? > > > >For OpenBSD to adopt the Mac OS X mbuf interface (or "KPI")? > > > >What is the deficiency in the OpenBSD mbuf interface that you see? > > > >What function do you need?
