Linux, HPUX have it but >FreeBSD does not... (I am changing from Linux to FreeBSD but...) EPROTO... ``protocol error''. What exactly does it mean? I've been able to locate it in HP-UX, but while it's been in <sys/errno.h>, i couldn't find any trace of just this error in the man page for errno. You could safely #define it as -1, since no BSD system call would ever return this error code. :-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
