Probably this needs to be fixed. Is > this a glibc lack or is it that the constants are not exported from > kernel headers in the way that glibc needs? The kernel people made it clear that they don't care about correct namespaces in headers. This makes it pretty much impossible to use most kernel headers. I'd love to avoid mirroring headers but this isn't possible without the appropriate #ifdefs in the kernel headers. I probably will define those constants in fcntl.h. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
