We both wrote a man page, and each contained stuff not in the other, and I asked you to merge them, but then nothing happened anymore. Maybe I should merge them myself. [In case you do the merging: please distinguish clearly between what is prescribed by POSIX (or SUSv2, or Austin draft 7) and what is implemented by (g)libc or the Linux kernel. I see that your version has prototypes like caddr_t mmap(caddr_t addr, ... but this caddr_t is typically from BSD, and is void * these days.] Andries
