The differences are in the details. The way those ports are specified doesn't allow much room for further optimizations. E.g., the userlevel ring buffer isn't possible. But mostly it's the same semantics. The ec_t type in my text is also better a file descriptor since otherwise it cannot be transported via Unix stream sockets. --=20 =E2=9E=A7 Ulrich Drepper =E2=9E=A7 Red Hat, Inc. =E2=9E=A7 444 Castro St = =E2=9E=A7 Mountain View, CA =E2=9D=96 --------------enig86D0700284F405347779E45F Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD4DBQFEzGkP2ijCOnn/RHQRAvC2AJjnzxTdqNtKpVSI4QdSJg30AUFMAJ96RT9c 098L1wtV2qSAWu8UrK0tfA== =PJXY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig86D0700284F405347779E45F--
