Hello,
I  have a few , though unconnected doubts.

1) can a named pipe be locked using normal lockf()  or do I have to 
perform some voodoo?

2) I need to transfer data (protocol not an issue, just raw data) from a 
usb peripheral(not HDD)
    to the host comp. can I do this without writing a usb driver myself, 
i.e , using some generic or user-space driver (like ppdev)
    the peripheral is a texas instruments tusb246b hub.

Thanx in advance,
Joy.M.Monteiro
