I am not aware of *Linux* actually using that. Linux's time(2) can return (time_t) -1 and set errno to EFAULT, per the Posix specification: SYSCALL_DEFINE1(time, time_t __user *, tloc) { time_t i = get_seconds(); if (tloc) { if (put_user(i,tloc)) return -EFAULT; } force_successful_syscall_return(); return i; } Cheers, - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
