José is right, this would be a smell. Also, the fs docs are pretty clear. It could be more explicit that you can call `man 3 readdir` or `man 2 open` to see the manual pages. But changing it at this point will not happen. This is a bikeshed. A decision was made ages ago. There's no reason to change it. But because it's a trivial thing, everyone feels like they should share their valuable opinion. There's a few people who still haven't weighed in on this thread, though. Once all the Node users have voted, then we can be completely sure how many people will be upset that the fs lib isn't ever going to change its naming conventions. ;) -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
