It looks to me like they were reserved _long_ ago by AT&T for something called "UNIX PC," but never used. They predate Solaris. I have no idea if they were ever used ... but why would this matter? The syscall interface is private to the ON consolidation. The numbers in use aren't documented, and may change at any time. In particular, if you compile these into an application and generate your own system calls, your application may stop working at any time, without notice, even in a patch. Unless you're integrating something into ON via OpenSolaris, you probably shouldn't be relying on these. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
