Does the compiler (say gcc) substitute socket() in user app with socketcall(SYS_SOCKET,..)? Also, why don't I see _syscallN() macro for socketcall or any other BSD socket calls? I'd greatly appreciate your help. Please CC to kdp102@yahoo.com as I don't subscribe to the mailing list. Thanks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
