Hi,

why is mach_port_get_receive_status just returning a boolean if send right
exists (the mach code has the equivalent of "srights = ip_srights > 0"), but
the exact number of extant send once rights, while there is a special debug
call mach_port_get_srights to get the exact number?

Just wondering, as it seems excessive complicated without apparent reason.

Thanks,
Marcus

PS: Sorry for asking such Mach questions, but I am trying to build my way
bottom up properly now. If there is some good reason, I think I'd better
learn about it.
