I want to compile a BSD 4.4 program (that uses forkpty()/openpty() from
libc.a). I've grabbed pty.c and it works except that I am missing
revoke(). This is a system call so I cannot get it from the libc.a
source.
Basically revoke() revokes all accesses to a file, other processes
that have it open will get an error on further reading. I'll even
settle for a revoke() that just works for a newly opened file by
my process.
Any ideas ?
Rob
