I personally think this is the problem - no interface should require writing 0 bytes. To quote the POSIX spec: | Before any action described below is taken, and if nbyte is zero and | the file is a regular file, the write() function may detect and return | errors as described below. In the absence of errors, or if error | detection is not performed, the write() function shall return zero and | have no other results. If nbyte is zero and the file is not a regular | file, the results are unspecified. Files in /proc _are_ regular files, as far as stat() is concerned, so I don't think you can require that portable programs give you the possibility to write 0 bytes to these files. Mirek
