Re: problem with systm.h trying to call resettodr()
I didn't think resettodr(9) was a system call exposed to user program, but instead a function available to be called from kernel code. Thus, the section 9 manual page. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

As others pointed out, resettodr(9) is a kernel-space function.
Section 9 of the manual is for those - see the intro(9) manual page
with man 9 intro (just man intro would probably show you intro(1)).

I been getting the exact same thing, so it's definitely not local to you.

Thanks, I'd already read intro(9), but it doesn't explain how to *use* kernel-space functions. I suppose the manpage would be huge then, though maybe book size? Is this another 'get that daemon book, you tight-fisted...' situation? So the syntax errors in systm.h are related to what- Missing compiler flags (-DKERNEL?), or missing headers? I *know* you guys all know, but where did you get this knowledge from? Is there a secret BSD monastery you all hang out at, or is there a secret switch you give man that lets you into the *real* details ? Thanks.

You can only use kernel-space functions in kernel code, that is, writing a kernel module, or writing a piece of code that is to be compiled along with the rest in src/sys. If you're doing that, look at some kernel source files to see which header files need to be included. If you're not doing that, you cannot use the functions documented in section 9.

By the way, are there any underwater stones in linking userland programs against libkern with '-static -nostdlib' to gcc? Regards, Alexey.
