The ASCII flag controls the optional ASCII output, and replaces the boolean that existed prior. A user would enable it in the same situations where they currently pass true for the ascii parameter. In the above example the author only wants the hex output, while in other situations, both hex & ASCII output is desirable. If you just want ASCII output, the caller should just use a printk or one of it's wrappers. -- Alastair D'Silva mob: 0423 762 819 skype: alastair_dsilva msn: alastair@d-silva.org blog: http://alastair.d-silva.org Twitter: @EvilDeece
