Umh, it does say _linux_-gate, so I think it's pretty self-explanatory. I considered linux-kernel.so, but think it would cause a lot of confusion vis-a-vis, say, kernel32.dll (I didn't write that, did I??). I'm not terribly fond of linux-syscall, but I could live with it. --david - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
