Functionality on PDOS/386, not Linux.              Think you need to look into the windows source code, as open() already       exists in windows and those cygwin don't need to reimplement that, it       only provides things that do not exists in windows but is part of POSIX.              > And not Linux source. Linux binaries.              Cygwin is not:              - a way to run native Linux apps on Windows. You must rebuild your       application from source if you want it to run on Windows.                     If you want to make changes to POSIX API, you need to start contacting       Austin Group, with time changes will appear in Linux. I doubt you would       have more luck with the Austin Group than convincing Linus to add a       patch to add something that Linux don't need.              --        //Aho              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
