If you implement it it would be nice to implement something like "SIGINFO1" and "SIGINFO2" (with "SIGINFO" aliased to "SIGINFO1") to have more than one signal which can be used by applications for such purposes (for example for "normal" and "verbose" output or to "enable" and "disable" some functionlity). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
