It is striking that J?rg Schilling's code alone uses this naming scheme, and nothing else appears to be. If there is, perhaps naming a few typical real-world applications could enlighten us. You haven't mentioned examples yet, so there isn't even a faint hint cdrecord is consistent with the so-called real-world. -- Matthias Andree - 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/
