I really would prefer a properly typed struct and that's what everyone was happy with in the session as well. So I would not like to change the main parameters.
I completely agree. Just would like to understand this point: struct statmnt *statmnt(u64 mntid, u64 mask, unsigned int flags); What's not properly typed about this interface? I guess the answer is that it's not a syscall interface, which will have an added [void *buf, size_t bufsize], while the buffer sizing is done by a simple libc wrapper. Do you think that's a problem? If so, why? Thanks, Miklos
