Hmmm. Okay, it isn't listed in my POSIX reference (which is really dated).
I don't have any docs on this... I did grep around some header files on a Linux box and it looks to be a fairly complex interface. I'm not opposed to supporting the interface, but I would like the syscall to be fairly light-weight.
Would my original proposal cover the POSIX spec with some userland glue?
L8r, Mark G.
