[Xenomai-help] Porting POSIX - wiki clarification

Hi,

This may be a stupid question, but on the 'Porting POSIX applications to
Xenomai' page of the wiki, discussing 'Access to drivers' in the Remedies
section of Mode Switches, it says:

"From an application point of view, using the Xenomai POSIX skin wrapped
services allow to manipulate file descriptors provided by the RTDM skin as
ordinary file descriptors."

I just wanted to check, does this mean that from an application point of
view, using the Xenomai POSIX skin wraped services allows for manipulation
of file descriptors provided by the RTDM skin *as if they were* ordinary
file descriptors.

Or am I misunderstanding?

Steve

No, you are not misunderstanding. If you feel brave enough, we can give
you write access to the wiki so that you can correct my english mistakes.

Sure. Create a login on the wiki, tell me how it is called, and I will
ask Bruno to give you permission to write.
