How badly designed. The man page for write() says > that writing no bytes causes write() to return 0 "without causing any > other effect". Is an entry under /proc a "regular file" or a "special file"? Sym-links under /proc/*/fd are not regular sym-links, which seems to imply that files under /proc are not "regular files". That seems to indicate that the section "the results are not portable" applies. Alexandre has a good point though, so it seems that changing the interface would be a good idea. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
