Lines: 20 Hi, Due to no response in the bsd group a couple of weeks ago, and the fact I recently noticed that linux seems to have shared libraries I was wondering if whoever knows *lots* about them can either (a) try to port them or (b) help me port the implementaion across. I realise that this will not be a trivial operation, but it is a starting point. At minimum, will someone tell me the "minimum working set" of linux source files needed to understand how they are implemented. I take it there are bits in exec() somewhere ? and the linker etc...
