Widely accepted does not necessary implies clear. Sorry if I consider more readable this: ch=acquire(CHANNEL_ID); instead of this: while((fd = open("fifo", O_WRONLY)) < 0) ; But this is quite an aestethical fact. If you like "open" and "write", open Emacs and do a global replace "acquire" with "open" and "zc_send" with "write". Few other minor details will make it a compatible interface. ------------------------------ Fashion is a variable but style is a constant ------------------------------ Larry Wall Bye, Luca - 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/
