The advantages I see of using a signature that returns an error are: 1. Any users of make_node, this applies to both netfs_ and diskfs_, don't need to know what error has occured, just that one has occurred. 2. This signature is more consistent with the other functions in libnetfs and libdiskfs such as make_peropen and make_protid. ===== James Morrison University of Waterloo Computer Science - Digital Hardware 2A co-op http://hurd.dyndns.org Anyone refering this as 'Open Source' shall be eaten by a GNU __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
